What's the name of this meme?

 

[Spider-Vader]

That last part always makes me laugh.

"Can I have one?" "Nah" "WTF"

Same here, that made the whole thing from "Cool" to "Epic".

Did Rob Liefeld create those characters?

Dang, Whiskey Tango you beat me to the punch.

 

[gregtestagent]

It's the abominable snowman, wearing Mario Brothers Kuribo boots?

I'm surprised it's taking so long. You'd think a mod would come by (and they did) and do something about it.

Looks like you're going to be taking a break from The Hype for a while.

You might want to un-quote that, yourself.

I don't think he posted that to be taken in the way that you think it's meant to be taken. Nathan's a good guy and he probably just thought it referenced Capt. Falcon, F-Zero or Smash Bros.

 

[PWN3R]

I wasn't even aware the meme was considered off limits here.

It's pretty over the top, I mean, really?

The mods haven't done anything about it yet... and I don't think they will.
And I'm not talking about the Mods, I'm talking about Nathan. Who knows, he might have known what it was actually referencing, but I don't think he posted that with malicious intent on his mind or to break the rules.

 

[dark_b]

what is the falcon punch since its not allowed?

Yeah, that's being logical, but these are the rules and we're not allowed to consider the reason for the rules being there. Notice however, with the rules as written, abortion jokes (the reason why "Falcon Punch" CAN POSSIBLY be offensive) are fully allowed, unless they're related to Falcon Punch.

The Hype hates Captain Falcon.


By the way, according to Urban Dictionary:

Falcon Punch

1.An extremely animated and/or self-narrated punch that resembles that dealt by Captain Falcon (of SNES game F-Zero) in the Nintendo video game Super Smash Brothers. Usually accompanied by the screaming of the phrase "Falcon Punch!"
You: (In a streetfight setting) "Falcon Punch!"
Big burly mugger: "Dude, chill."


2.The cause of, and solution to all of life's problems.
Dave: My PC's not working.
John: Just Falcon Punch it.
Dave: Good idea.


3.The act of intentionally punching a pregnant female in the stomach, so as to cause miscarriage. Shouting the phrase "Falcon PUNCH!" is optional.
Man A: "Oh man, I got this chick pregnant..."
Man B: "How about I do you a favor and give her the ol' Falcon Punch?"



The third definition of the term is the reason (and a very understandable one) for it being banned in that context.

I've never really understoond that rule at all. I've never seem the Falcon Punch ever relate to abortion so to me that rule reads, "No memes our Nazi overlords don't find funny."

The hell?

 

[Speedball]

that is really weird... but very good photoshop.

It's a small fraction of the Falcon Punch stuff out there, but "Falcon Punch as forced abortion" is a meme in and of itself, and most of it jokes about abortion, which can be offensive to most. (By the way, "Falcon Kick" has a small sub-section of the internet taking it as meaning a kick so hard that it castrates the victim, which is also offensive, but not against Hype rules, likely due to the mods not knowing about it.)

Up until recently, the rule in the post Marx made read as "Abortion/Falcon Punch", and after a run in with DA LAW, I requested a clarification of the rule be made, as what was written suggested that only abortion related Falcon Punches were banned.

I still don't think the rule makes any sense, and that things would be better if the mods were allowed to think about the reasoning behind the rules in their rulings, but at least now the rule is clarified (though I and others have repeatedly mentioned how according to what's written, abortion jokes are still okay as long as they don't refer to Falcon Punches, which is frankly backwards compared to what the state of affairs should be).
