Proofster, also known as Proofs Rooster is a character used in image macros, depicted as a rooster asking for evidence or proof in broken English, most of the time in front of a Russian flag backdrop. The macros spawned many MS Paint parodies, and become popular on 4chan’s /int/ board.

Origin

It is assumed that the meme originated from Krautchan’s /int/ board, around the time of the War in Donbass^[1]. The rooster originally was used as a slang way to call someone a homosexual inmate (someone ‘made’ homosexual by circumstances beyond their control) on Russian image boards. The images are used to make fun of the way nationalist Russians would demand proof regardless of evidence presented and proceed to disregard any evidence offered.

3DPD is an abbreviation that stands for 3-Dimensional Pig Disgusting: A statement made by certain members of the weeaboo subculture which denotes that fictional women from anime and manga, or 2D, are superior to normal women and reality, or 3D.

Origin

While it is unknown where the term “3DPD” first took off, it is believed it first gained traction among anime otakus and weeaboos. The idea of men claiming superiority over fictional women against real women first became more notable in 2009, when a Japanese man – who went by his online handle SAL9000 – married Nene Anegasaki, a fictional character from the Nintendo DS game Love Plus. The wedding was subsequently lifestreamed on Nico Nico Douga, resulting in widespread attention and coverage of the event in the West as well.^[1][2][3]

Legal Loli is a term applied to fictional females with prepubescent physiques while at the same time being older than the legal age of consent, sometimes reaching to up to thousands of years of age.^[5] While supporters of legal lolis believe attraction to them isn’t the same as attraction to normal lolis due to their different age and mental capacity, claiming this makes them a seperate group from normal lolis (or “true lolis”); critics often argue that their age is merely an excuse by the authors to create a grey area, stating that due to a shared physique with prepubescent lolis they are the same as normal lolis.^[6]

Origin

By definition, lolicon is a portmanteau of the phrase “Lolita complex,” which describes an attraction to young or prepubescent girls. However, amongst anime fans, the term loli has come to describe characters with solely the physiques of a prepubescent girl due to the frequently similar physiques of females from varying age groups in anime and manga. This has lead to fans of the loli genre to add adjectives to the term, in order to seperate loli-like characters of different age groups (shown below).

#BernieMadeMeWhite is a hashtag used to joke about the media’s representation of Bernie Sanders supporters as Caucasian during the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary. The hashtag became popular after media reports of Sanders victories depicted diverse states, including Hawaii, as being “white and rural.”

Origin

On March 26th, 2016, Bernie Sanders won the Democratic Caucuses in Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska. In his article on the victories, CNN’s Chris Moody wrote:^[1]

These caucus states -- largely white and rural -- are the type of places Sanders traditionally does well. In order to win the nomination, he must replicate this success in other, more ethnically diverse states that hold primaries, as he did in Michigan last month.

Many online took offense at the statement, especially residents of Hawaii, where the white non-hispanic population is just 26.7% according to the United States Census.^[2] In one Twitter exchange about the remarks the following day, Twitter user tokyobrainstorming (Real name: Leslie Lee III),^[3] wrote that ever since he had voted for Sanders, he had become so white that he was “bingewatching Friends.”^[4] He also used the hashtag #BernieMadeMeWhite; the tweet was retweeted 668 times and favorited over 1,900 times.

Shortly after tokyobrainstorming’s tweet became popular, user Chris420Redmond tweeted the hashtag along with two screenshots from CNN– one of the above text, and one from two months earlier, calling Alaska, specifically Anchorage, the “most diverse place in America” – this tweet received 1,000 retweets and almost 1,000 likes.

At 5:37 pm, user welknett posted a tweet reading “This isn’t a picture of two friends, it’s actually a before and after voting for Bernie pic,” along with a photograph of a black woman and a white woman embracing. This tweet received 2,074 retweets and
