I’m pretty sure you’ll have heard the tragic tale of Harambe, the silverback gorilla killed at Cincinnati Zoo earlier this year when a young child found his way into his enclosure.
However, are you aware of the size and scale of the meme that has exploded since then? And in particular, the “Dicks Out For Harambe” phenomenon?
While it was sad that Harambe died, he had to be shot to protect the child. That’s inarguable common sense. And yet there are people online arguing something very different.
This is the origin of the “Dicks Out For Harambe” meme, which mocks those who are taking the whole thing far more seriously than they should.
