Hide X Threads Ignore X Posts Do Not Reply To X Posters is a phrasal template and image macro urging message board users to shun a specified group of posters, paired with a hunched caricature at a keyboard. The format first surfaced on 4chan in 2012 as an antisemitic edit and spread through years of mad-libs style variants targeting nationalities, fandoms, and board tribes.

Overview

Hide X Threads Ignore X Posts Do Not Reply To X Posters is a phrasal template built around a three-line directive telling readers to hide threads, ignore posts, and refuse replies from a specified category of user1. The X gets swapped for an ethnicity, nationality, fandom, or board tribe, and the text sits above a caricature of that group hunched over a keyboard3.

The character in the base image draws on antisemitic caricature, and KYM notes the meme likely began as an anti-Jewish jab at 4chan posters3. The same hunched-typist figure is also used more broadly to mark shitposters and became a recurring signature in the Australian Shitposters meme3.

How It Spread

The template kept circulating on 4chan over the next few years as anonymous users swapped out the target. On December 1, 2013, an anonymous /pol/ poster put up Hide Catholic Memes using the same layout2.

It jumped off 4chan through fan communities. On January 2, 2015, DeviantArt user Teyrik posted a Furry-fandom edit of the format2. A few years later, on February 24, 2018, Redditor muffler_kek shared Hide Cuman Threads in r/kingdomcome, and the post pulled more than 260 upvotes at a 92% ratio inside three years3.

Beyond the phrasal edits, the hunched keyboard character itself broke out of the template and became a general-purpose stand-in for shitposters, including as the mascot of the Australian Shitposters meme3.

How to Use This Meme

The template typically stacks three imperative lines, Hide [X] Threads, Ignore [X] Posts, Do Not Reply To [X] Posters, above the hunched-typist caricature1. Creators swap the [X] for whatever group they want to mock, most commonly a nationality, ethnicity, fandom, or board tribe, and often redraw the character with props or features tied to that group3.
