        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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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?

      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:

      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.

          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

      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.

    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.

      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.
