I was surprised to see the middle finger gesture a common symbol in the fonts, why is that? I’m assuming it has something to do with demoscene culture?


It is almost compulsory for a demo scrolltext to include "greets" to other demo groups and members and "f*kings" to those you don't like or have done something lame. Very useful to have a special symbol for that!
