[Theinquisition]

For Halloween, I've bought a Gorilla suit and have hot glued on some angel wings and a halo. This is gonna be a fun holiday!!

If you're a chick don't pout don't pout, you can still whip your tits out!!

You truely lack any sense of self awareness dont you?

Popping into a thread to comment is a whole other thing from clinging to months old memes and other assorted social media outrage.

I would disagree. We basically killed a rarer ape to save a much more common one.

Besides you guys make it sound like gorillas are shot at zoos (or legally) on a daily basis. Of course this made big news, an individual of an endangered species was killed by police at a zoo.

You are welcome to your opinion. Its dog shit and any one with sense will disagree but you are welcome to it. Man>beast.

Oh and from my perspective, a child was saved at the zoo. The ape dying was not the story to me.

Has anyone else exposed their genitalia for Harambe? If not, why the hesitation?

We lost a great Ape that day.

Dicks out man, dicks out.

Let that fucking monkey roast in Hell. He was a very bad chimpanzee. He would have killed that kid.

Opinions are entirely subjective, you may think my opinion is dogshit, but I don't really give a fuck about what you think of my posts.

I heard recently Harambe was spotted dodging sniper fire with Hillary Clinton and Ryan Lochte.


Can anybody Confirm / Deny?

[Friendlyimmolation]

I can't believe how many people like to pretend that they really care with online outrage about something that would have appeared very different in front of them.

our love was fresh like morning dew!

This Harambe shit is reaching Kony 2012 levels of facepalm and embarrassment. Also

Honestly for all the great laughs... if I had the opportunity, I would save Harambe in that scenario.

[Tradewind]

This meme just needs to die.

huehuehue

[Theinquisition]

Harambe is the Tradewind of the gorilla world. Dicks out fellas.

[Elim Garak]

I use Harambe as a greeting - as in "Harambe, everyone" or just "Harambe", "and Harambe to you too, sir"

[Stop Pretending]

Someone is just tad, dare I say, triggered.

[Deleted]

He is a real life metaphor of a natural beauty being killed off by human stupidity #dixout

[Peppered]

What does dicks out mean in this context? is it a pun or play on something? i never got that.

[ParanoiD84]

He got killed because of human stupidity.

[willtron]

Harambe was just a gorilla.

Blasphemy.

One of my old acquaintances wrote this on Facebook, and it's all I have to say, because I wholeheartingly agree;

You know what really rustles my jimmies? Harambe memes.
The death of the gorilla has been taken to excruciating lengths, but why is it so good at spreading? Because the name is easy to say, yet rooted in a non roman or germanic intonation. This is Orientalism writ large.
Following this, artistic license builds a trend around "my nigga harambe" and #justice4harambe. These are parodies of one specific culture: Black America. In adopting racialised vernacular and hashtags relating to authoritarian death, we can channel sympathy for Harambe in the same way we would the Black Lives Matter campaign. Except here, it is always tongue in cheek. No one really cares about Harambe, right?
And therein lies the problem. In turning Harambe into the pastiche of black death, people are granting themselves free reign to ridicule black people through not so subtle racism.
For anyone who thinks I'm reading too much into it, we have an almost direct example in Cecil the Lion. That animal's death wasn't characterised in the same way so broadly. What is the point of difference? Is it his Anglo name? Or the fact that he's blond?
That is why Harambe is a shit meme and the gorilla of choice should be shhh no tears.
