My Opinion

I’ve been a bit confused why I see videos with that gesture censored, I feel like that rarely happened in the media I consumed a decade ago. However, I believe this “phenomenon” is older than TikTok and its weird censorship.

I’d place giving the finger at a high 2, low 3 on offensiveness, definitely nowhere near gesticulated sexual acts. You can give a child shit for using it, but the occasional finger is something I’d expect from even a teenager.

    Careful you don’t get shot (assuming you live in the US). I’m not even joking. Road rage shootings are very much a thing.

      Wish it would be legal to attach a banana ball turret. Maybe facial recognition for locking on a target and keep launching little balls of banana at them. It would smoosh if it is the car side / windows, and it would decompose without issue. But it would be fun. If they are in a convertible, that shit would be bananas.
