It's genuinely bizarre how much the pig poo pic riles these people up, honesty I always thought it was one of our novice level memes, but these dipshits are actually pressed over it lmao wtf
It started off as a mid and low effort bit at best.. til we started seeing the reactions it got.... every time.
Same with post hog.
Would have gotten old really fast if a couple dumbshits didn't actually very angrily post cock pictures to own us.
fr I thought it was lame as hell but it seems to actually get these people tilted lmao
Oh yeah you really have to see it deployed in action to appreciate it. On it's own it doesn't look like much but when you see how angry it makes people to see their bad faith nonsense shut down in such a dismissive way you appreciate the beauty.
We first told chuds to post hog, and then we started posting the hog ourselves
At first they came for the hog posts, but I did not post because I had no hog...
Tbf it gets annoying when it's the full size image being spammed 20 times in a row. In my app, it remains full size so it takes some scrolling to get past the Poopballs.
Apparently thats a bug due to how Hexbear's emojis were translated over to the main Lemmy. I think our version scales them down to emoji size but the other Lemmy's display them at full resolution, something like that. Apparently the smart people who know things are trying to get a fix pushed soon.
does the same thing if you use a different front end too, like alexandrite
the
emoji is a jumpscare lol
It's a kind of vulgarity they probably don't encounter anywhere else. Usually internet vulgarity involves screaming slurs of some kind.
Whereas PPB dismisses their argument, or lack thereof, without shitting on anyone but it's own balls. It doesn't compare them to a marginalize group, it doesn't accuse them of being shills, it doesn't say they're a bot, it doesn't accuse them of being any of the stuff the GOP constantly scream.
It's extremely vulgar, but how should you respond to it? there's no script for it. It's not harmful. It's just vulgar in a way that transgresses lib civility norms. So what do they do about it? Well, the complain, because it's new and upsetting and they don't have a ready made response or dismissal.
Lib: "lefties call everybody that disagrees with them a fascist"
Lib, analyzing PPB: "this image is fascist, i will not elaborate"
Then they get 5 replies, answering all of them with some Russiagate rant, then their inbox blows up with 50 replies, which they reliably increase to 500 replies by answering every single one of them with a passive-aggressive post about how we're all mentally ill wumaos from a potato wodka country because we have pronouns other than he/him
because we have pronouns other than he/him
Oh shit, I'm fired aren't I?
No, it's important that we also have dudes so they can think we're Sino-Russian neckbeards setting the pronoun setting to shuffle.
okay, so, here's my hottest take...
I feel bad seeing ppb because he looks that way because of hormones/animal farming
That's just how uncastrated pigs look when they're down to clown in hogtown
A lot of mammals have absurdly large balls. Like go look at a boy rat sometimes. Dude's often dragging.
I was at the park and this male squirrel was hanging around. Them thangs were swangin'
If it makes you feel better, this was a pig being shown at a state fair, and breeding male pigs apparently just have big ol balls. Still not great from a vegan perspective, I know.
Remember the Hexbear user who argued ppb is ableist because they had IBS?
This is why you use the oxford comma kids, I think they’re trying to talk about
and the like, not PPBFuck you for hijacking my post to spread Oxford comma propaganda
Embrace the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism-Oxfordcommatism or be destroyed LiberalPeace, land bread!
Land bread? As opposed to all that sea bread!?
Peace, land, bread!I'm told that the inexplicable contradiction of English grammar being bizarrely strict in some unwritten ways but absurdly choose your own adventure in others drives new English learners bonkers.
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas too, they're cruelBut in all seriousness, I fully support oxford comma use.
Sorry, but it makes communication clearer! It's already way too easy to accidentally miscommunicate when we're not talking face-to-face.
My actual stance that Oxford commas are fine to use when they are needed for clarity, which is almost never
I get what you're saying, but I do think that it's a good idea to just default to the oxford comma, since it doesn't detract from clarity even in cases when it maybe wasn't necessary, and there are definitely situations where its absence impedes communication. Especially since it can be hard to tell when you're not communicating well sometimes, since you're in your own head and you know what you mean.
I am willing to concede to liberals the point that Fascism is when you poop on your own balls. I will compromise with them if they concede that Ukrainian Azov militias are a bunch of white nationalist freaks.
I am willing to make concessions on my end of the table if they are willing to meet me in the middle on this salient point.
Things that are fascist: a picture of a pig with a turd on its nuts
Things that aren't fascist: self described neo nazis with black sun patches screaming die f-words
Didn't ppb start in the old sub? How would that be a fascist dogwhistle?
my name's Chris Matthews and I'm here to say
Bernie will execute me in Central Park if he has his way
Oh. I wasn't sure what that image was. Now it makes sense. Thanks.
isn't it literally from the video of chapo going to the state fair with all the dem candidates?
I assume so? That's definitely a part of the video where they go to the state fair in 2019 with all the dem candidates. I always assumed it was the same pig with the same poop on the same balls, but maybe I'm wrong lol
Well if it is a different PPB then we have a new emoji to make
Correct. If someone can find a free copy of “Good vibes at the Iowa state fair” you’ll find will menaker laughing about the pig.
That actually makes it make more sense due to the whole "Chapo Trap House is part of the Left -> Fash pipeline" discourse around the pod and sub.
apparently not https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/doxxed-the-truth-behind-piggy-poop-balls
Hand to God, I do not understand any of the context in this post. From the comments, ppb seems to mean "pig pooping on balls" but what does any of this have to do with fascism? Why do people post it? Who is hexbear?
Also
Why do some people not like the pig pooping on his balls?
Edit: oh hexbear is this instance. duh.
Pig poop balls has been a longstanding response by former /r/chapotraphouse users. It was common on reddit before the subreddit was banned, and it carried over to here.
It's basically just a response that the dirtbag left decided to use whenever a reactionary was around. It taught people to stop bothering to "debate" them because they're not doing so in good-faith so there's no point wasting time. Mocking them works better.
This is the original pigpoopballs:
Show
Holy shit, I just realized what the o7 is after many years of having just internalized it as like a general praise without understanding it. Just a simple salute. Honestly super classy version imo
Wait hold up is that where I picked it up from?
I still use "o7" when I text, ironicallyat first but now sometimes not. I totally forgot that was where I saw it first lol
Mostly we just want to have fun. We're having fun. Some other places on lemmy could do with learning to lighten the fuck up and have some fun too.
We couldn't pick just any pig. It had to be a pig of distinction. "Some pig".
Hexbear is a leftist instance that was the successor to the chapotraphouse subreddit after it got banned. PPB is an image of a pig with gigantic balls that has pooped on its own balls. This image is generally posted as a way of saying that whoever you're talking to is an asshole not worthy of a real response.
but what does any of this have to do with fascism
they're just using the word to mean "bad". there's no other way to make sense of that statement.
the amount of bad faith accounts that were being taken at face value in that thread were insane
yall are welcome for the slop though, i goaded it out of that one
Why are they so fucking soft? Navigating the world and falling into shambles by being trolled with png of poopy pig balls must be pretty fucking tough.
If any of you libs visiting need someone to talk to. You can DM me. I don't know if I can help you. But, good god, hope someone can.
Well most of them live in a hegemonic cultural environment where civility is very important and the only challenges to their worldview they ever encounter are cherry picked rage bait from the Fash. They've mostly never even seriously critiqued their own views and beliefs, and have probably never been challenged in good faith and certainly not from the left. A lot of them just straight up have no experience in dealing with hostility or conflict regarding their beliefs so they default to civility policing and dismissal.
Seriously, came over here because my reddit accounts are permanently banned for calling people fucking idiots. So I came here and found out all the reddotors that left for lemmy are the same soft as babyshit civility fetishists.
something tells me the aggressively lib internet understander named "demographics" is going to have some neomalthusian / Great Replacement adjacent take.
No shame to scat comrades, yet implied shame to furry comrades?
C'mon Twink, don't hurt me like that
furries are fine, zoo isn't. Needs to be a guy in a pig fursuit pooping on his own balls
Nah some things deserve to be shamed, like that
take but I've gotten numb to it.

Just the way I like it.
We have emotes for it now.
