I feel like we need to explain dprk-soldier again, amongst other things

Our most famous meme is that the "40% of cops beat their spouses" study first went viral on r/chapotraphouse, our old subreddit.

The tag "Genocide Joe," referring to Joe Biden's support for the genocide of Palestinian people, may have originated here, from @VILenin@hexbear.net . I can't find earlier references, but it may just be one of those names that multiple people thought of at once.

Ask a better storyteller to talk about "Post hog."

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll chime in a bit on the hog part. In the subreddit days of yore, we'd frequently get brigaded by the likes of r/The_Donald and other fascist hive minds, and when logic failed on them (logic always fails on fascists) we'd run them off with a bit of playful goading of their homophobia by asking them to post a photo of their "hog", or male sex organs. This led to an increased usage of the strategy of quickly dispatching would-be brigadiers with the phrase of "post hog". (As a quick aside, one especially clever Chapo once made a post entitled "Post hog" and the body of the post said "ergo propter hog", which was a silly reference to the logical fallacy "post hoc ergo propter hoc". Anyway, this is where my username comes from. No clue who that chapo was but I stole it because it was all I could come up with in the moment when making my account.) The hog business eventually led to other hog-adjacent shenanigans, such as responding to fascists with a picture of a pig with poop on its balls. This had a similar effect as the aforementioned homophobia goading.

Oh god, it's even better than that. The original "post hog," actually got a chud to post their hog. Somebody wore a chud down in an argument and eventually asked them to prove something-or-other by linking an image of their junk to reddit, and they went and posted their hog

To add to this, one of the commenters in that thread found his Grindr account almost immediately because the username was the same as his Reddit account. This incident predates the mods locking the subreddit the day that it hit 69,420 subscribers; I think we were in the high 40k range?

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

it isn't okay to close the sub for a joke.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I was so annoyed about that lock lol

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Me too. CTH was about the only relief valve that I got after dealing with my rabid Trumper coworkers. Where the hell was I going to go, Twitter? badeline-disgust

AOC is doing what the unions want her to do is from a legendary struggle session during the railroad strike 2yrs ago. A user called liberal socialist started spamming threads with it, eventually getting banned.

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Do you disagree?

[–] PurrLure@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Also the photos of her crying at the border are basically a meme at this point considering all the compromise she's done since.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Man how has nobody mentioned “kill all slave owners” yet? That’s the whole reason the chapo subreddit got banned in the first place (ostensibly, of course)

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

that's really part of the true origins: kill all slave owners, john brown did nothing wrong, spez is a paedophile who dreams of owning slaves, etc

Do not mention a former Obama Admin Secretary of State who ran against Bush in 04.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Of course, I've suggested this and immediately gone off to play games instead of wax lyrical about funny internet posts. But maybe we could have some freeform series of posts or some shit?

Some hexbearspectives, if you will. Explaining the origins, post hog, ppb, the dope ass bear, president parrot, DPRK soldier, silver legion, upholding tc69 thought, when the federation tap got turned on/preemptive last resort, classic struggle sessions etc

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'd love that and I'm not even as new as some of these other people.

Would also love to know what the deal with the beanis thing is.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

Beanis means Beanis

c/bestofhexbear is mostly inactive, but has some site history stuff posted there. Of course more would be welcome

In the beginning, Chapo Trap House is a podcast...

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

But the official podcast of the forum is citations needed

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

No one really even listened to it but for some reason posted on its subreddit.. In the dark times.

Dang, no outdoor cat posting yet?

That must have taken a lot of restraint. took-restraint

Awww, now I miss Enver. Also, BASED_BALL is redundant with the outdoor cat struggle session.

Edit: And it's missing "UlyssesT killed Kissinger"

Volcel Police, whataboutism

Edit: Aw, looks like lemmygrad.net lapsed; it used to point to !shrekland@hexbear.net

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

We need a !lore comm where we have the source for every emoji, every tagline, even a bunch of the past pivots/struggle sessions/rule changes.
