      The whole "reee" thing is dumb and rooted in ableist bullshit. That's probably why you're being downvoted.

        Like is something against people in the spectrum? :thinking face: I didnt know that one.

        Honestly I dont care that much, not every comment I make Its gonna land well with everyone and I didnt think that much about, obviously I am very excited with the activity growth like everybody else.

        If someone gets hurt from the whole frog screech Ill delete the comment and remember to be more mindful, It seriously dint even cross my mind.

          Yeah IDK what the exact origins are but it's a common meme on the far right often also dubbed "autistic screeching"

          Edit: one of these days I'm going to have to make a really long effort post on the long history of fascism and its evolution in the US.

            I think it originated from a video of a frog screeching, but it sits in a niche between a harmless animal video and a vortex of ablist bullshit.

            Edit: context. The "reeeee" thing is older than this, but I'm pretty sure this is a re-upload of the original video. Naturally, the Pepe avitar kekistan freaks took this and ran with it.

              That's sort of their primary tactic. Corrupting otherwise innocent symbolism.

              Okay not gonna lie I laughed my face purple at the cute little gurgle he made when he gets dropped into the water and then he instantly chills out. I felt that mood, little frog guy, I felt it deep.
