    But, the whole point is to have the waters muddied. That’s why it’s called a dog whistle, because only the dogs (the intended audience) will hear the whistle (recognize the true intent behind the phrase).

      So fight mud with mud and make it harder to recognize the true intent.

      Or better yet, make it so that the symbols are just way more commonly associated with non-asshole meanings.

        It’s like the ok sign. It’s only a dog whistle when combined with other things. Mudding the water doesn’t work when there’s layers unless you muddy the layers. But then they just add a layer

        Better to let them use it and out themselves
