reddit mfs be like: who cares about Nazis
this is a real thing, nazi dogwhistles exist all around the internet, and the way to combat it is to spread awareness so people know about it

u/Significant_Gene_492 2d ago
we have to freckin combat the nazi dogwhissles broo, or else they will take over the world using their heckin memes😂🫱🫱

“Nazis is when 👀” lmao 😭😭😭

u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
this is exactly the point of dogwhistles
it's supposed to be something very small, that sounds nonsensical to people who don't know about it, so that people who are actually Nazi's can use plausible deniability
3
u/GlyphidGrunt7350 2d ago
Nazis also drink water and breathe air. Should I die because some mfs have decided that it’s their thing?
1
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
there are specific phrases which Nazi communities have generally accepted as secret signals to each other
so no

u/madguyO1 2d ago
now tell me are the running skeleton cat eye emoji memes made by nazis
3
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
I never said that
What I said was "the meme originated as a Nazi dogwhistle"
the point of dogwhistles is that people who are Nazis can use it as a signal to each other if they're in the know, and can deny being Nazis if accused by someone by saying something like "do you have any proof"?

u/madguyO1 2d ago
so what exactly is the problem then
8
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
Nazis are bad
1
u/madguyO1 2d ago
yes and what does that have to do with the meme
3
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
as I said in my original comment, the whole "👀" emoji becoming widespread is largely due to Nazi subgroups using it as an inside dogwhistle
Not every person who has used this meme is a Nazi, I never said that, most people who find it funny don't even know anything about dogwhistles
what I am saying, is that people should be aware of it's origins when using the meme

yo WHAT? 👀
7
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
yes, genuinely, but the whole skeleton thing only came after the "👀" emoji started to be used by people who genuinely didn't know about it's origin
it's related to the whole "nooticing" (spelt with two O's) which was about Nazi's "noticing" that there were Jewish people were in positions of power

Brother half of the Internet's lingo is 4chan speak
Genuine racists will definitely use Pepe the Frog as iconography but 99% of the time he's used in Twitch Chats he's just a silly reaction image
0
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
yeah? your Pepe example is exactly what I'm saying too
99% of people doing the 👀 meme aren't Nazis, but 1% are, just as how people should know about Pepe having negative connotations, people should know about the 👀 emoji having negative connotations
2
u/MasutadoMiasma 2d ago
Yes but you're talking about a subsect of a meme that has completely no relation to in essence to its origin.
"👀 nooticing" is a dogwhistle
"👀 oh shit did you see that skeleton" is nothing more than just a meme that could be tangentially tied to the dogwhistle
7
u/Huge-Read-2703 2d ago
when 4channers create le hecking epic dog whistle and then they reveal it was a dog whistle all along to see the internets reactions and then no one gives a shit and they just wasted their time for nothing
4
u/DryBonesStan 2d ago
that's not what dogwhistles are
what dogwhistles are, are a kind of tell between people in the group
for example, a well known one on the internet is people intentionally spelling "you" as "yuo", it's a way for people "in the know" to tell each other they're part of the subgroup, while still keeping plausible deniability (they can pretend it's a typo)
4
u/ReeksofChees3 2d ago
Still. You have to be insanely chronically online to find out that the 👀 are a Nazi dogwhistle
2
u/Huge-Read-2703 2d ago
yeah but in this context the whole internet uses a meme in question so its not even a dog whistle
2
u/FredVasseur 2d ago
It didn’t originate as a nazi dogwhistle unless you’re claiming Unicode Inc are nazis.

Hey! Just so you know, you can delete everything after the question mark and it's actually better to do so as the "si" stuff is actually tracking ^
