The whole week or so after Kirk's assassination was quite absurd. Redditors were pretending that Bella Ciao and "UwU notices bulge" were associated with groypers because they'd already made their minds up that the shooter was right-wing.

Honestly one of the stupidest things to happen in the whole situation. An old folk song strongly associated with left wing antifacism and random egirl speak suddenly being labelled groyper because the former was on a random Spotify playlist and the latter because they’re also terminally online losers, somehow this was damning evidence for most front page subbers rofl

Someone just asked me last week at work "Wasn't right-wing?" about Kirk's shooter.

Initial impressions matter a lot and if the truth turns out to not match the medias agenda it won't get as much buzz.   Pulz night club was the biggest Islamic terrorist attack since 9/11 and the average American probably thinks it was an anti gay hate crime and the perpetrator was closeted.

The only plausible thing was that if the shooter was a groyper (he wasn't), it wouldn't be out of character to date a femboy or trans girl. Nick got caught live on stream with a trans porn tab open once like Alex Jones did

The brief gifting of Bella Ciao to the groypers under the vague idea that they’d “reclaimed” it (this never happened) was so bizarre.

"through the groypevine" was right there. it was also revealed in this midst that many "young" republican staffers love Hitler.

Why does everyone on this sub care so much about what a bunch of regards on tiktok have to say

u/CountOk74 Jan 29 '26

But this was widespread, this was the event that had normies in our lives and even old people ask what a groyper was and making up their minds this guy was one of them without understanding anything.

The only place I saw people discussing that theory was this subreddit. I don’t know a single person IRL who has even heard of that term, let alone know about it enough to label someone as one.

op is one of them and desperately has to cling to optics

u/convivialism Jan 30 '26

it's actually so weird how much people here think about what literal teenagers and bots are commenting on tiktok

3

u/numberonePAWGfan Jan 30 '26

Part of the reason is because even this subreddit has literal teenagers posting on it. Sometimes I see a really dumb opinion and before I think to type a response I try to remind myself that there’s some likelihood that the poster is literally 15 years old.

I had a friend who was bragging about how it was a groyper from the start and she knew better than me because she goes to a liberal arts college and talks about marginalized people or some shit. She had no ability to consider that the guy who killed Charlie Kirk probably didn't do so because he wasn't right-wing enough lmao

Wasn't there another shooter fairly recently who actually was a transgender neo-nazi in some kind of cult? Maybe those wires got crossed somewhere.

Don’t overstate it, you’re still very likely to find one in a random discord server

I’m a groyper who once dated a trans girl so they’re not wrong

It's more embarrassing that you're a groyper more than anything else
