Aw man, that's the focus fox and it's the only way I can get my d&d group back on track.
Guess you can't host your game night in German schools anymore.
Foxy.
Yeah, also learned that a few weeks ago. I've used that with kids for the better part of my life. And the Pommesgabel (Sign of Horns, the metal music hand gesture) which I guess should be done correctly now, or it could be mistaken, too. Like when you're too drunk and not in full control of your fingers anymore. You wouldn't want to become a turkish far-right extremist by accident.
It was also the hand gesture used by the NWO pro wrestling stable in the 90s lol
NWO 4 LYFE!!!
I couldn’t be more upset, are the assholes on the right gonna take “Suck it!” too? When will it end!
Hopefully they won't start saying things are "too SWEEEEEET"
Let’s just make the hand wave a racist hand gesture.
