Sorry! The button didn’t work. Thanks for sorting it out!
what’s “poggers” mean?
It’s a twitch meme
Plus, the meme is kinda old but its image has a pretty similar expression to the girl from the USA
Awesome/wow. Comes from twitch community of a frog meme people called pog. The frog with like a wow expression was named poggers on Twitch so people use the phrase to mean that face/emoji
Wow, even less interesting than I expected
Imagine downplaying the unimaginably insane ways our languadge is being shaken to the core by ever shifting meta-meta-meta languages.
Don’t you know anything fun is pointless And trivial and below me?!
🥱
You say that but it is a very unique etymology. The last 30 years have some very unique terms that wasn’t a previous language derived term but has internet culture lore or even just a small subset culture reference.
Like the words glom and hawk tua are going to be some interesting explaining in 20 years
Not quite the full history. Poggers was based on PogChamp. PogChamp was a Twitch emote, of Street Fighter player/content creator Gootecks from when he and Mike Ross did a silly video bit playing pogs by dropping a fight stick on it.
PogChamp was used a ton on Twitch (and other creators made their own versions of the face), until Gootecks kinda got problematic with his remarks on Jan 6th (and other stuff like alternative health and COVID disbelief). I think they replaced his face with a number of other reactions that also fit the bill?
She looks jealous that her teammate isn’t doing the same
Context?
2024 Olympics Women’s Synchronized 3m Springboard Diving. The pair that won gold is apparently dating. USA won silver
What country is the dating pair?
From the flags on their jackets, China.
Oh. I hope they don’t get disappeared
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_China are more like a conservative wild west than persecution (unless it’s a focused establishment). Guangdong (where the one on the right comes from) is near Hong Kong and Macau (and in fact being integrated with them into some bay area), so it’s probably one of the safer places.
Well, that’s a journalist.
It’s Evangelion all over again.
Cuuuuuuteee ☺️

Wake up babe, new SCP just dropped.

Not enough JPEG
I hope this gets good coverage in China. LGBT Rights in China (Wikipedia)
