I'm afraid to ask, what's ropemaxxing?

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 58 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I have a bad feeling it refers to suicide.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 59 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'd believe it. 4chan's primary purpose is inventing new ways to refer to suicide

I thought it was Roblox

TikTok invents euphemisms.

4chan invents new bullying methods

[–] pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 7 months ago

I’m trying to invent a new one myself, but it’s not gaining any traction.

Example use: “You’re never going to defeat my build in PvP, you might as well dial 988.”

It only applies to the USA tho.

Yeah, I've heard them call it, "commiting neckrope" before. I guess this is the next stage in the phrase evolution.

Maybe he’s thinking getting into shibari will help him find a partner? Nah it’s 4chan they don’t encourage each other to learn how to interact with people and develop social hobbies, they drive themselves and each other to suicide

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

better than my thought. let's hope its suicide.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh ho? And what were you thinking?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, can't think of much worse than telling someone to commit suicide, but I'm also not very creative.

so, these are also the semen retention guys, right? 'cum has magic powers' and all that? I assumed something related.

For the unaware, “an hero” refers to an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who committed suicide. One of the comments on the page started with something along the lines of “he was such an hero to end it all…” and it quickly got memed on 4chan to mock suicide. “Become an hero” is basically an old 4chan version of “go kill yourself.”

Ropemaxx is the new an hero, as a way to mock looksmaxxing posters on /fit/. Basically, looksmaxxing is referring to someone becoming attractive as a result of working out. If someone is tailoring their workouts to conform to the “ideal” body proportions and focusing almost entirely on looks, then they are looksmaxxing.

The meme is that if someone is incapable of looksmaxxing, (basically, if they have an ugly face and can’t get attractive by working out,) then they should ropemaxx (commit suicide) instead.
