Fictional Dogwhistles

== General Information ==
Dog whistles use language that appears normal to the majority but communicates specific things to intended audiences. They are generally used to convey messages on issues likely to provoke controversy without attracting negative attention. In WYSI, there are Fictional Dogwhistles which apply to political groups or movements that only exist in the world of WYSI.
== List of Dogwhistles ==
=== Reddit ===
* r/ is a dogwhistle which references the "subreddits" of the Redditor's banned website, Reddit. Redditors will use this as a means of confirming to other redditors their affilations with the website. This dogwhistle has lost its effectiveness, as the general public has largely caught on to its use.
* Heckin' Chonker references the leader of the Redditors, Big Chungus, in a way that redditors would praise him. This is a method of praising Big Chungus in a way that can be easily denied.
* 32+9 refers to the plan made during the Reddit War to shape Ireland to represent Big Chungus. To do this, Big Chungus planned to add enough earth to create 9 seperate counties in Ireland. This combines the existing number of Counties and the number of hypothetical counties to signal to Redditors that they support this Reddit plan.
* AtlCav is a combination between the word "Atlantic" and "Cavern". This references the Atlantic subterranean passageways that the Redditors used to invade England. This dogwhistle is used to show support for another war with the United Kingdom.
* 11/11 never forget is a dogwhistle which references the date of the Battle of London, in which the Redditors were defeated during the Reddit War. This dogwhistle is very effective, as Redditors can claim they are mourning the battle itself, or even the end of the Great War. Generally, this dogwhistle is used to signal to other Redditors that someone is a member of P.O.R.N specifically, as these Redditors consider the Battle of London an embarrassing defeat and foundational event for their organization.
* Uncanny is often used to refer to the ancient Reddit figure 'Uncanny Mr. Incredible', who passed down the art of the 'Uncanny sword' currently wielded by Blackstar. It is often used to signify a desire to return to the 'old days' of Reddit, or simply to show support for Blackstar's actions.

== Fun Facts ==
* Fictional Dogwhistles is a reference to the instagram/tik tok account The_History_Wizard, who often explains dogwhistles by starting with "this comment reads". The porksodafans attatched this phrase at the end of r/Cringe and thus fictional dogwhistles were born.
