A message ?
What is the meaning, basically, this gesture? Hard to say, since the artist himself refuses to give a precise answer letting users make their own interpretations. Nonetheless it can be noted that the original leg-gun was preceded by a picture of Chinese dancers adopting this posture. The photo is from the movie Red Detachment of Women in which a group of women involved in the civil war against the Kuomintang, the ruling party in the 30 One can see a roundabout way of calling for non-violent demonstration against the Chinese government. Using his leg as a gun, not a real gun.
Of course, many of the people who have taken up the leg-gun have done this only because they were amusing posture. The phenomenon has rapidly grown and I invite you to see for yourself the many images published . This trend does will last more than a week - and become a kind of Selfie fun?
