And anyways you proved my point, the "society" pushed back, ad discarded it, rather than allow it to be poisoned.
No, symbols are just hard to change. Once they have a meaning associated to them, you can't take the meaning away. A pride flag is symbol, so ot means something. An ok hand gesture doesn't have much beyond "ok" to it, so it can quickly be taken over and poisoned.
A drop of poison in a glass will kill you, but a drop in an lake won't harm anyone.
That's fine, detach from the flag and pick something else. It's the act of repulsion I'm clarifying. If a group chooses, a poisoner has no power, they are discarded.
"Ok" meant "ok" for many years. Society allowed it to be poisoned and that is lame.
Some random database was poisoned. Nobody in actual society cares.
It was a hypothetical. Pick anything you want.
