I'm just surprised they didn't go the extra mile and actually shoot their own ears in solidarity.

Remember during covid when that guy shot himself in the dick to own the libs?

No? What? That had to be satire.....

I can't find the group anymore where they were doing it, but there was a Facebook group and a Twitter group, where trump supporters were posting pictures of them pointing loaded guns at their dicks to somehow upset liberals. There are a bunch of dodgy blogs with articles about it still, but I saw the actual group posts myself back then. anyways, some dude accidentally shot himself in the balls. There's a video out there somewhere of him bleeding through a towel, and he posted that he "may have fucked up".

Edit: someone else posted a Vice article about it. Here you go

I really, really, really want to believe that a troll or group of trolls started that and the occasional idiot wandered into the chat. But this so very neatly fits Poe's Law, we'll probably never know for sure.

Also, I don't know how nudity of any stripe is supposed to really trigger enough people to matter. It's the internet. There's naked people all over the place around here.

They weren't nude, they were wearing pants.

In his defense, it was useless anyway.

EDIT: It makes all of the sense in the world that he lives near me.
