Can we not use the Proud Boy's "gently caress around and find out" motto? I understand they didn't coin the term, but...

It's not a Proud Boys meme or their motto.

My experience and Google disagree with that statement.

Dunno what you are googling but it was very distinctly first in use by leftists before Proud Boys - in the flag shown below in fact.

We're not debating the history of the term... the Proud Boys use it as their motto and it's distasteful.

Stop doing helping the Proud Boys co-opt a perfectly fine phrase.

Sorry, it's obviously my fault that the Proud Boys use it as their logo. :rolleyes:

It was a simple request, to avoid white nationalist phraseology in the AI rules thread.

A quick google search shows 0 proud boys bullshit but plenty of leftist uses of it. You sure about this meatpimp? :raise:

Edit: And if we wanna go for personal experiences here, every friday I pass a group of people demonstrating and flying various flags including a blm flag and a rainbow fafo flag. Another notable thing are the shirts with catchy slogans like "Kill the GOP". Must be proud boys in disguise. :thunk:

I didn't mean to make this "a thing," nor do I want to unchill this fine garage. But I'll stand by what I said.

Just like tiki torches and red hats don't necessarily mean anything, the fafo slogan HAS been adopted by the Proud Boys. Prove it? Well, we have to go deeper than the surface, because it's a lovely group that uses lovely tactics. However, here's a picture from January 6:




and an Oklahoma Proud Boys web site: http://www.okfafo.com

Which has in its Gallery (and site name):



and a CTVNews story: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/these-are-some-of-the-extremist-groups-responsible-for-the-violence-on-capitol-hill-1.5259142

which states, in part:

quote:

Amongst several armed and body-armoured rioters that day were those sporting patches or apparel with the acronym FAFO, which stands for “F*** around and find out,” a slogan affiliated with the Proud Boys.

Or a Miami New Times article going back to 2018: https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/inside-miami-alt-right-and-proud-boys-chapter-10945821

which states, in part:

quote:

the group condones violence only in self-defense, though the email signature for the Miami Proud Boys is "gently caress Around and Find Out."

Or an NPR article
with this picture of Proud Boys in FAFO hoodies: https://www.npr.org/2020/12/12/945825924/trump-supporters-arrive-in-washington-once-again-for-a-million-maga-march



I could go on, there's more. Including the chants of it during Proud Boy marches, but I'm not getting that poo poo in my youtube feed.

Look, this isn't a historical AI phrase the got preempted, it's largely in the collective consciousness because of the January insurrection. I'm just asking that we recognize that just like tiki torches, that phrase has been tainted and should be avoided.

Zangief is definitely a look, is it because there was a nationality specified?
