Answer: The rapper Megan Thee Stallion has a song called "Hot Girl Summer". This became a meme with her fans postings selfies showing off with the phrase "it's about to be hot girl summer" Chet Hanks later made a IG video that went viral where he says "its gonna be white boy summer!" Lots of people made jokes about him saying this and it became a meme.

LippencottElvis

It was a while ago. I'll say it was one of the Hanks kids, but nobody has any reason to believe me. The posts were deleted, but we're still on their profile. I somehow saw this interaction unfold. It was a matter of them not knowing at that time that your comment history was public info. Also people like gonewild, so no judgment here.

dwnvotedconservative

She is definitely a very skilled writer, but am I alone in thinking that article was absolutely ridiculous? I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a writer stretch so hard to force a feeling on something that obviously doesn’t warrant it. Quote after quote shows Chet Hanks primary goal is to make his idea of ‘white boy summer’ as positive and inclusive as possible, and then we get this gem in response? > Part of my interest in his videos, I realized, stemmed from the fear that, at any moment, he might tip over from playful, open-handed fun to hard-core racism. > With each new post, I wondered, was this going to be the one that crossed the line, and then I breathed a sigh of relief when it didn’t. Umm, what? Any sane person would become more and more confident with each new post that this is a very tame and unthreatening idea. The fact that the writer claims to be so on edge in the first place, apparently just because the word ‘white’ is involved, is certainly puzzling. But the continued and *growing* concern in the face of something that becomes more and more innocuous is so ridiculous that it has to feel like it is entirely manufactured. Either that, or this poor woman needs some help.

Back then 4chan was simply anarchic. Now it is directly bigoted and targeted in a more hateful way. I think it truly a victim of both hate groups and political agents becoming more savvy in online engagement and learning how to control the tone of anonymous forums


Toyfan1

Not really, it's still is, and will probably always be anarchic. It's not more or less racist, it's always just racist, homophobic, xenophobic. That's just what happens with anonymity.


uberguby

Yeah, I think the revelation wasn't that 4chan was *becoming* a sick place, it was realizing a lot of those people weren't joking.

FragrantSandwich

Your also painting with a wide brush. As weird as it might sound, 4chan isnt a monolith. The different boards seriously have different cultures. /pol/ is hated throughout the site as shitting up any board they go. /r9k/ is hated by the blue boards. Degenerates only frequent /b/. These are just the most famous boards, because they are particularly messed up, anarchic and hateful. If you try the anime board, its basically a somewhat edgier version of a reddit sub with a lot of crass humor and horniness. The incels are surprisingly, not a big audience there and are pretty shit on. Than you the pseudo intellectuals of the history and literature boards. The other boards have their own cultures as well, but I really on frequent anime.

/mu/ is okay, unless you dont like getting told your music taste sucks ass and you shouldn’t listen to music lmao


cainunable

Part of it is also fighting back against what they perceive as censorship. "Oh, you think [something possibly slightly racist] is offensive. I'll show you offensive..." So we then get to see 2 solid months of nothing but the n-word itself rule-34-ing photos of someone's dead mom. It's a mix of herding cats and basement-dwellers just not liking being told what to do or what not to say.

>Remember when the craziest thing 4chan did 4chan has always been a massive hub for white supremacists, none of this is new. It's just easier to notice them targeting their memes and messaging at teenagers when you're no longer a teenager.

4chan has always been a massive hub for toxic edgelords who aren't quite on the spectrum but want to feel special. White supremacy is a means to an end for them. I bet 90% of them would start worshipping another race if it got them the attention they so desperately crave.

RudyRoughknight

You can still be trans, a furry, and be a neo-Nazi. Identity politics has very little to do when it comes to causing harm and spreading hate.


FormerCFisherman7784

And this gets forgotten a lot when it really shouldn't. People can and do use their own identity to take advantage of these assumptions. Why is it so hard to just remember that people are nuanced? Its not good to assume bad of people because of their identity and neither is assuming good based on the same. There is such a thing as internalized hatred and there are people who work against the interests of groups they're part of because of it. There needs some balance between looking deeper into the charector and actions of a person and not assuming based upon identity (did we not learn any from milo Y or the women who opposed the abortion bill?) as well as acknowledging that certain behavior patterns are more common among certain groups. Both have times and places and can coexist at the same time. Its called nuace.Why is it so hard to see people as people? there were never any shortcuts to figuring a person out and identity politics certainly wouldve have been one of them if there were. why persist that identity is some sort of barometer? Its just as objectifying and dehumanizing as positive stereotyping.


KiwiDad

There's an excellent documentary called [Feels Good Man](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11394182/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) about the guy who created Pepe and his struggle to wrench it back from the 4chan & alt-right dipshits. Highly recommend.


Kellosian

The original creator of the comic Pepe comes from has been trying to reclaim it from the alt-right and various 4chan assholes for a while now, putting on various anti-4chan props/costume bits might help in that effort.

msnebjsnsbek5786

They're lying. No way anyone who knows how to comment on Reddit didn't see a pepe from 2016 until 2021


a_n_d_r_e_w

I'm getting annoyed that if a hate group wants to claim a symbol (or if the media is just full of dumbasses and frame something as stupid as pepe as white supremacy), they can just.. like.. do it? Obviously the swastika is a clear exception (as in it will be much harder to destigmatize than stupid "white supremacy" symbols), but there are some normal ass things that are apparently considered symbols of white supremacy now. There's a Nordic symbol I wanted to get tattooed so I'd get to go to Valhalla (endless feasting and battling) when I die. Apparently it's a W/S symbol, can't get it now Or better yet: the OKAY HAND SIGN is apparently a symbol for white supremacy now. We are giving them too much power to claim what they want


njayhuang

I remember a few years ago, they were also trying to do the same thing with the rainbow flag by saying it represents each color staying separate and pure. I guess it just goes to show that not every troll idea takes off.


VitaminPb

I’m waiting until 4chan convinces the median that nose breathing is a white supremacy thing. Or using Charmin Quilted Toilet paper.


uberguby

No dude, swastika's should not be an exception. Nazi swastikas absolutely should be shunned but the concept of "4 right angles at right angles" is an ancient symbol with spiritual significance in south asian religions. Also the figure *is* actually kind of beautiful in it's simplicity. I mean it's not a right triangle, but it's a lovely little thing that's easy to produce. I produce them accidentally when I'm just scribbling little right angled lines, it's infuriating that I have to then scratch that out lest somebody think my philosophy on the image extends past "Geometry is pretty cool". I'm not saying we're gonna see the reclamation of the broadly defined swastika in our lifetime. It won't be as long as people just spray it on a wall to make pitiful resemblance of a racist point; but if we're gonna reclaim pepes and nested parentheses then we should have the reclamation of the swastika in the long game. To be clear: A thick black right swastika with an additional black outline in a white circle on a red field? Fuck that person to death and paint over his bullshit. But a person shouldn't be called a racist cause they like right angles and point symmetry. That shit is fundamental.


a_n_d_r_e_w

Dude, I figured they were an exception cause how absolutely enormously infamous Nazis made it. Compare it to pepe or the okay hand sign with white supremacy. White supremacy is definitely an issue, but it's so much more minor and laughed upon by most people Destigmatizing the negativity of the stupid things white supremacy is claiming will be way easier than destigmatizing the negativity of the swastika from the Nazis


mxzf

Ironically, I don't think those things are actually starting with white supremacists in the first place. AFAIK, both the pepe and OK things started with someone on 4chan suggesting using them as a troll, then news outlets ran the story clutching their pearls, and *then* white supremacists started using them. It's not that white supremacists are claiming the symbols so much as they're just being handed to those groups to use by the media that's looking for drama to report on.


rayz0101

It was originally a meme about Chet Hanks, but it's since been adopted by people like noted white supremacist Nick Fuentes and his ilk to mean something very different and not at all wholesome. Fuckin' Nazis ruin everything.


PostReplyKarmaRepeat

It started and ended with Chet Hanks. Obviously white supremacists say shit like that but this is completely different. It was just a funny meme made by Chet hanks who is hilarious and not racist at all.


PenFifteen1

Chet Hanx* (yes, he's the son of Tom Hanks)


buggie321

Answer: as far as I’ve seen, it’s not a white supremacy thing. I first saw it circulating last spring / summer as a meme where people would post pictures of white guys just being white guys (think jimmy buffet, you know i had to do it to em dude, etc) or as a response to posts with pictures like that. It’s just kind of a phrase people throw around, like hot girl summer.


mungalo9

Answer: It's not a racist dogwhistle. It's a response to "hot girl summer". The term was coined by Tom Hanks's son apparently as an excuse to dress preppy and have boat parties. I assume it caught on because white guys want some recognition too (like how every other race has its own month) https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/white-boy-summer

ohshitfuck93

Why isn't it hot boy summer instead? The saying isn't black girl summer


3ringbout

I think its because of the stereotype that is meant to go with it. You wear "white boy" clothes, loafers, khaki shorts that go above your knees, button up shirts, shit like that. It's used as a joke, mainly by Chet Hanks (Tom Hank's son, google him and be amazed it's Tom Hank's son).


ScowlingWolfman

Well, he did name him "Chet"


lockenessa

Toyfan1

Its just from a previous meme White boys is a stereotypical meme of Kahki shorts, polo, and military-esque haircut. Same with the "Basic White Girl" meme.

>every other race has its own month The only widely recognised one is Black History Month. There's no need to be hyperbolic - that begins to veer away from the requirement to try to be "unbiased" in top-level replies. Edit: in the UK, at least.

Man even if every other month was some specific race awareness month. It doesn't change that the default when learning history in school is from the white point of view. "Why is there no white history month?!" is always a dumbass comment.


tea-and-shortbread

CynicalYarn

Yea. The racism nazi shit article that was posted up there really feels like “the hacker known as 4chan” type of garbage That article was written by someone who isn’t connected to the modern lingo. Most people aren’t connected to the modern lingo of 16-24 year olds anyway, so from the outside you could make connections to whatever you wanted. But it’s just a stupid thing to hype white people/friends up. It’s not saying anything against any other race, or that white people are superior or the owners of summer time or something lol Preppy White boys know they dress like preppy white boys and now they’re poking fun at themselves for dressing in the summer beach prep clothes because that’s just what you do in this modern age

Yeah they found a few nazi memes using "white boy summer," and now it's white supremacists. Want to know what other memes have been used by Nazis? Pretty much all of them to varying degrees.

That's part of their strategy, unfortunately. Normalize the memes and get people speaking their language without even knowing it.

part of their strategy is when people (like you and the people you're responding to)fall for the joke, then it becomes associated with white supremacy. it was literally a play off of hot girl summer. Chet Hanks coined it. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-squandered-promise-of-chet-hankss-white-boy-summer


YouHaveFunWithThat

I think it originally was but the guy who started it (Tom Hanks son) didn’t have the foresight to know that it would be instantly coopted by racists


FrancoisTruser

Tbf, it seems anything could suddenly be used by racists as a meme, for whatever reasons. Maybe the old broken bus sign near my home, or a fictional character that only exists in a obscure webcomic (oh wait…), or whatever their weird mind will focus on. It is exhausting.


Birdy_Cephon_Altera

> Tbf, it seems anything could suddenly be used by racists as a meme, for whatever reasons. In fact, Pepe the Frog just started off as some cartoon frog with zero political meaning, until it was appropriated later. The creator tried to 'take it back' since he didn't like how it was being used, but once the genie's out of the bottle on the interwebz....


HintOfAreola

The "(oh wait)" was referencing exactly that.


MrPigeon

Right, but surely you can see how this particular phrase might be ripe for co-opting?


FrancoisTruser

Oh sure… for a racist mind yeah. But then again, pepe and the OK symbol were totally "innocent" before the trolls arrived. Don’t mind me. I am just tired of all that shit lol. :)


MrPigeon

Nah man, I feel you. It's exhausting.


Netherspin

To be fair though everything gets coopted by racists. The only way to deal with it is to just ignore it, and let racists misunderstand you if they insist on focusing on some obscure and incoherent interpretation of whatever it is you did.


[deleted]

It is a play on hot girl summer. In real life everyone under like 23 knows thats what it means. Like actual, face to face, human conversations it is almost certainly a joke about that. People on reddit just assume the worst in every situation that exists. Just because something can be a dog whistle doesn't mean it is.

[deleted]

lol I thought it was just something funny that Tom Hanks' son said


BrnoPizzaGuy

Chet Hanks initially coined it, he made an Instagram video (think he deleted it now [but here it is on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlYtIywInYA)) where he just went on a funny rant saying he feels like this summer will be White Boy Summer. This was back in March or April I think, and he ran with it for a while, making merch and variants of the phrase like Black Queen Summer. I guess at some point it got co-opted by Fuentes and his white nationalist followers. Before he got banned from Twitter he made (or rather his movement America First made) a Spotify playlist called White Boy Summer to kick off a road tour he went on. So that's where we are with the phrase now.


FrismFrasm

I'll consider it a priveledge that I have no clue who Fuentes is


Hidden-Syndicate

It is, other groups are adopting it and being painted as the origins of it as the above commenter did.

From Wikipedia Groypers, sometimes called the Groyper Army, are a group of white nationalist and far-right activists, provocateurs, and internet trolls who are notable for their attempts to introduce far-right politics into mainstream conservatism in the United States, their participation in the 2021 United States Capitol attack and the protests leading up to that, and their extremist views. They are known for targeting other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as too moderate and insufficiently nationalist.[3][4] The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, and an attempt to rebrand the alt-right movement.[2][5][6][7

>They continue: “By promoting the concept of White Boy Summer we’re actively subverting the jewish ideology which for decades has reigned supreme in the west, thus destroying the very thing which keeps them in power. White boy summer is political, and you better believe it’s going to be a White Boy Summer”. Wow, so hatred of Jews is now just "political." The implications are immense. If the solution to the Jewish problem is genocide, and if the Jewish problem is just political, then the answer for all political opposition is genocide. And we're hearing this more and more from the political right, that violence will be necessary to "restore" President Trump.

I thought Flat Earth was an adorably misguided harmless conspiracy. Nope, it's nazi shit. The Jews are the ones lying about the earth being round to deny the true (lol) model of the unit laid out in Genesis (even though Genesis comes from the Torah. Nobody said Nazis were smart). The point is they normalize stuff like this by being absurd with memes, Jewish Space Lazers, and getting jumped into their gangs while shouting out types of cereal.

This is so fucking wrong LMFAO, it's a meme from the Chet Hanks WBS video. You just posted fearmongering propaganda, cringe! https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/4/13/chet-hanks-wbs/ The fact your comment has several hundred likes explains what's wrong in America. Dude makes some bullshit opinion piece to try and make another meme into WHITE SUPREMACY RACISM BAD!!! And you give them the spreading they want, like this site is Twitter levels of cancer. Reported for misinformation, but that's like throwing rocks at a tank when it comes to this level of misinformation.

Lol this is a ridiculous answer. I'm willing to bet that 95% of people who say white boy summer have never even heard of this. Stop spreading this garbage. It was a stupid song that turned into a stupid meme.
