He's not a mod anymore, Genma apparently just forgot to turn off the highlighting on his name.

What if Takky doing the same pose? Not too diss your idol here since I like Takky too but, I'm just saying what if he does that pose?

i tend to make it often, most likely as a striking pose when i just made a point in an argument or ended something good... must be coming from all the anime i watch it started to make its way around, so a couple more ppl use it. I guess we're a bit !

I've seen hand signs in use in Japan that would be considered offensive in other countries. Heck, "flipping the bird" in America is a completely different gesture in Germany and Austria. And please don't call it "peace sign". It's the V for Victory. The dumbass hippies in the 60s and the worthless and unjustly overhyped "68er generation" turned it into some sort of idiotic peace sign, but that's not it's original meaning. BTW... "gay" has a different meaning than "homosexual" as well.
