I know what a gang is, but not what a blood gang is, and what it has to do with that funky gang sign. Is it a twilight thing?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloods Hope this helps a little, some people just can't comprehend not being fully engrained in the U.S.A. history and culture.
Bloods and crips extend a good ways past just USA history and culture.
Thanks to rap music alone, I would expect anyone who grew up listening to the genre would be aware of two of the most famous gangs ever.
They arnt quiet there but it's up there with being weirded out people don't know the Yakuza or various other famous mafias.
Just because you don't live in a country doesn't make it not weird to see someone be entirely ignorant of something that was internationally famous for decades. At least on a general scale. Hand signs are a bit much to be fair.
The fingers spell out blood.
Wow. I would not have noticed. Thanks. But are the characters relevant?
Characters are from an old Christmas movie. Its now 6 months until Christmas...then the gang sign. Gang signs aren't part of the movie unless you think Santa's elves are a crime syndicate ready to take over neighbourhoods
I never realized the twisty fingers spelled anything either. But then I saw it and entered the comments all proud of myself
