I was looking at the archive just now and saw this https://warosu.org/jp/thread/15682740, and it made me wonder, what IS up with the OK sign? I thought it was a western shit but I'm seeing Japanese stuff with the same obnoxious looking versions of the sign. http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=ok_sign
Is it a recent Japanese meme? Or am I just seeing it everywhere now that it's being spammed on 4chan in places? Is it like the new peace sign or something?

I'm going to take a wild guess and guess it's by bkub, isn't it?
That makes me wonder more if it's an eastern things or a western thing certain west following easterners are copying.

It gained popularity through an emoji i think, black people on twitter love it so i guess it spread from there

Thank you for contacting /jp/FAQs with another inquiry.
It traditionally means "money", but it can also mean "okay" just like it does in the West. It has nothing to do with the Japanese (or anyone else) emulating the gutter trash of Western society. Did you not notice how the pictures go back years before this awful fad?
Now that you know, get out of /jp/.

OK as in Okane. Get out of /jp/

"OK" is the most understood word in the world.
Coke is second.
