    I didn’t think it had anything to do with what you just said. I remember it being a meme that started on Reddit as a way of calling someone a rightwing person who is making stuff up. Both “post hog” and “hogout or logout”.

    The founding incident happened when users baited a rightwing user by demanding they post pictures of their penis as evidence in a ‘pics or it didn’t happen’ situation. With the chapo subreddit and so many other left-wing subreddits now removed from Reddit, sadly I can’t find the original thread anymore.

      Well it did.

      If you can’t see how “hog out or log out” is intentionally analogous to “tits or gtfo” you’ve missed a fairly important part of it.

      The version I heard was a chud wandered in on the same account they posted to nsfw subs in. People noticed this and and started roasting the guy. His defense was that “it was a bad photo”. He eventually got mad and posted more.

      I think Awoo is right in terms of memetic etymology or whatever tracing the origin of a meme is called.

      I was there but I don’t remember many of the particulars. I think people were saying he must have a tiny dick because of some shitty things he was saying. It was a pretty normal dick for what its worth but he had it clenched in a weird death grip.
