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.
3
The only correct answer.
Obviously 3, since its right in the middle.
4 because 00100₂ = 4₁₀
Little or big endian?
here questions right the asking
Fuck I just got that, nice!
1 - I grew up in Boston.
I think from about Salem through Newark it’s more of a greeting than anything else.
I don’t find the middle finger offensive at all.
In the context of ad-supported algorithmic social media, offensive is the wrong question. It’s about brand damage.
Showing an ad next to something that actually offends people can damage a brand, but even something a little edgy might turn off customers of a brand with a more formal or conservative audience. The algorithm’s ultimate goal is to get people to watch ads, so something a little edgy might reduce the reach of that content. Censoring it prevents the algorithmic downrank.
Apparently pretty offensive. Bad drivers who insist in abusing their honk and endangering pedestrians seem to get pretty intense whenever I flip a finger at them. I might get punched for real one of those days. Only thing that saved my ass for now is the fact that they can’t really leave their car in the middle of the street to come assaulting me, with other excited assholes driving behind them… My luck should run short one of these days though. #fuckcars

I’d be careful, I’ve had this happen twice.
I didn’t grow up using it, but now as an adult I love it. I use it at least once a week with friends, family, and co-workers with intended offensive score of one or two. I have a friend that sends me pictures of clowns late at night when she knows I’m home alone. That’s pretty deserving of a middle finger or two.
0 for me. I just dont care
🖕
Id say about like 2 to me idk irdc personally but some ppl overreact over this stuff lol
