Yeah, where tf did that come from ? It's a pure joke made to be seen purely as fun fro the people included in the joke and no-one else, without referencing the real thing in a bad way, but just enough to make the crux of the joke, since it consists of using the swastika in a completely different, mockingly hilarious, way from the original, even down-right insulting the original meaning of the swastika I like the symbolization of this inside joke: With the media being butt hurt about it and trying to label this game as "dangerous" when it wasn't for anyone and that it was "racist" or "desensitizing people" or what not when its just that they haven't found the joke funny, you have to understand that it's not a reason to not let the fucking joke be and making abig deal out of it when it shouldn't, uk...

Yo Jotaro It isn't autism, they are actually quite clever. They hide themselves behind irony shields and make jokes and use progressivly more vulgar speech, so they can condition those around them to not be suprised when people go around calling everyone the n word, not realizing that normalizing this kind of hateful speech is what leads to people commiting violent physical acts because they lack the attention and influence that their words they used to use have, because all they have is insults, not logic. They then proceed to call ghose who point this out, you guessed it, mean words, not adressing their points. You see, by calling them autistic you're only reinforcing their irony shield and giving them more room to weasel their way out of argument by saying "it's just a joke", not realized that offensive jokes can be used to normalize their behavior, causing what is explained above.

Therefore, it was, in fact, a joke.
@@pg3384 ok whatever but was *she* laughing though?
so as an old man around during the 2006 raid it cannot be understated just how big it was, it wasnt just 4chan it was like 4 huge internet communities raiding at the same time. The game was just completely unplayable for days
I’m surprised they never heard about this game or memes/pranks from it back in 2006. I used to play World of Warcraft every single day for hours on end, and was pretty in tune with Internet culture at the time.
Imagine if they put all that effort and commitment into getting a career and a lover. Oh well.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 imagine if you put the effort of typing this comment into getting a sense of humor, or maybe a face lift.

Ok I thought it was earlier, this video confused me by saying 2012
i remember being a little kid and getting so frustrated bc i couldnt get to the goddamn pool lmfao
Ah yes, the good ol days. Came back here because my local pool had a sign sayings "pools closed" then the flashbacks of habbo came back to me. I still have one friend I still currently talk to from way back then, I hope all the other great friends I made on there are doing great in life.
I'm surprised Habbo survived this whole thing
they now actually accept these people, since the raid celebration is the largest traffic they get now
Thought tgey were dead tbh.
i am shocked to find out Habbo still exists
Just like me, I still exist tho I’m dead inside

To protect people from the StingrAIDS
Yeah, where tf did that come from ? It's a pure joke made to be seen purely as fun fro the people included in the joke and no-one else, without referencing the real thing in a bad way, but just enough to make the crux of the joke, since it consists of using the swastika in a completely different, mockingly hilarious, way from the original, even down-right insulting the original meaning of the swastika
I like the symbolization of this inside joke: With the media being butt hurt about it and trying to label this game as "dangerous" when it wasn't for anyone and that it was "racist" or "desensitizing people" or what not when its just that they haven't found the joke funny, you have to understand that it's not a reason to not let the fucking joke be and making abig deal out of it when it shouldn't, uk...

I mean, how are people going to know the danger in that pool?

I watched this in the ER when i didnt have a grasp of my health and i couldnt control my crohns. This made me laugh then and now. Im doing a lot better, stuff like this is so good for people. Give us hope and joy. I dont always agree with you but i appreciate you. Thanks bud

This actually had a positive effect on water standards in public pools.
How so?
No it diddnt you flop, it’s been law to test water on a weekly basis for a long time, this did nothing other then entertain 12 year olds
@@stfuguy4207 any pool that is open to the public must be tested every 2 hours if there is no automated chemical control, and every 4 if a automated control is installed, that’s been standard for a long long time

No way apartment pools test their water that much.

now to be fair, you could argue this is a good thing. they convinced public places with pools to instate mandatory regular testing of their waters
Hiv is a very delicate virus. It won't survive being outside a human body, much less in clorinated water.
@@duffontherun381 public perception matters more than facts. if anyone heard the pool was exposed to aids, they'd flip out and it'd cause a pr mess. better to close the pool and pretend you're doing something for the camera.
plus, its a day off for everyone not on the cleaning team.
@@Sitruk86 true I guess.

@@duffontherun381 Regular water quality checks don't neccesarily target hiv only, its generally good to verify water quality in pools more often than not. HIV is just a scapegoat to do it.

Yo Jotaro
It isn't autism, they are actually quite clever. They hide themselves behind irony shields and make jokes and use progressivly more vulgar speech, so they can condition those around them to not be suprised when people go around calling everyone the n word, not realizing that normalizing this kind of hateful speech is what leads to people commiting violent physical acts because they lack the attention and influence that their words they used to use have, because all they have is insults, not logic. They then proceed to call ghose who point this out, you guessed it, mean words, not adressing their points. You see, by calling them autistic you're only reinforcing their irony shield and giving them more room to weasel their way out of argument by saying "it's just a joke", not realized that offensive jokes can be used to normalize their behavior, causing what is explained above.
