Young male gamers in South Korea thought it resembled a gesture used to poke fun at the size of men’s penises.

    Korean anti-feminists are militant about this gesture.

    I played a game last year and the same thing happened on that game too. Absolutely ridiculous stretch but the developer had to put out an apology (it was a Korean game)
