Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“I can say that he has been very cooperative,” Cox continued, possibly misgendering the roommate. “This partner has been incredibly cooperative, had no idea that this was happening and is working with investigators right now.”

This has to be intentional. Shitting in one hand calling it "civility" then in the other lobbing a grenade of transphobia. Love it.

Still not a Groyper meme. Groypers aren't just "young internet chuds" They're a specific breed of young internet chud who follow Nick Fuentes. Words, in fact, mean things.

groypers love internet chud band kid memes. also some of the bullets were directly groyper memes. nick fuentes already did the "i disavow" meme. he knows it's him

Leftists also love repurposing lib memes and chud memes sometimes, though. None of the bullets had anything that's exclusive to groypers. There is not enough direct evidence to land at any conclusions, just circumstantial and contextual evidence. Fuentes is covering himself but the fact that not many people have turned against him (think about it, Zionists could just point to his straight up antisemitism, boomer chuds could just look at his general aesthetic, and they'd hate him, so this isn't a matter of "ape doesn't kill ape") should tell you that this isn't so cut and dry.

I don't think we should be intellectually dishonest; I was one who immediately thought he must be a groyper but the truth is you have to force one interpretation of symbols that are inherently vague and whose meaning depend on how much irony you assign to them.

yeah but the whole thing is some niche shit. the victim is niche groyper bellyaching, the memes are niche groyper shitposting. it's like badempanada getting shot and the shooter drew a picture of a pig shitting on its own balls on the bullet. i would bet money it's a groyper

I think you're overextending the word groyper to mean chud in general. Charlie Kirk was not even close to a groyper.

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i know but groypers hated him. they thought he was spreading hate against the white race. they declared groyper war on him and the other more mainstream conservative personalities

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, absolutely, but you still can't really arrive at any conclusions from that.

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

idk it's groyper memes and charlie kirk is really only worth thinking about for groypers

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I kinda feel like we're going in circles here. Helldivers 2 is not a groyper game. Bella ciao is just a song. I've heard parodies of it in advertisements. "Notices bulge OwO what's this" is just a meme. None of that stuff is exclusive to groypers.

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

idk it's just the totality of everything makes it feel like groypers

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I also feel like it's likely the kid is groyper adjacent. But feeling is one thing, having solid evidence any which way is another. Lots of chuds also probably feel the totality of everything makes it feel like he's a communist; and they have just as much proof!

the groypers feel like it's one of them. separately, i'm inclined to think our groyper understanders here are better than the conservatives' communism understanders. idk though i guess in the end i've gotten myself in a number of internet arguments over the past few days about things i barely understand
