About

Abby Bite Edits or Biteposting refers to a series of memes in which characters from various franchises are edited as if their fingers are being bitten off, with the meme format based on a still image of The Last of Us Part II character Abby biting Ellie's fingers. The format originated on 4chan's /v/ board in June 17th, 2020, gaining a major spread on the board.

Origin

On June 17th, 2020, a leaked frame from then-upcoming video game The Last of Us Part 2 showing character Abby violently biting character Ellie's finger was posted by an anonymous 4chan^[1] user on /v/ board (shown below, left). In the thread, another user suggested^[2] that the frame could be used as a meme template. Within one hour, an unknown user posted^[3] a horizontally flipped version of the frame, prompting it's use as a meme format (shown below, center). In the thread, the same user posted^[4] the earliest meme based on the format (shown below, right).

Spread

In the thread, several templates for the meme were posted,^[5]^[6]^[7] including PNG versions. Megami Tensei ^[8] and The Simpsons^[9] edits of the exploitable were posted in the thread in the following hours (shown below, left and right).

In two hours, another thread^[10] for the exploitable was posted but failed to get traction. The format saw spread on the board when in the early hours of June 18th another thread^[11] was created for the edits, reaching the reply cap within four hours. In the thread, multiple edits of the exploitable were posted, including Super Mario, Pac-Man and Was That the Bite of '87? versions (examples shown below).

In the following hours, the format received further spread on the board, although to a lesser extent than Abby Buttsex Edits and earlier Abby Choke Edits.

Abby Choke Edits

Abby Choke Edits or Chokeposting refers to a series of memes in which characters from various franchises are edited as if they are getting choked, with the meme format based on a still image of Abby choking Ellie. The format originated on 4chan's /v/ board in early May 2020, gaining a major spread on the board and on Twitter.

Abby Buttsex Edits

Abby Buttsex Edits refers to a series of memes in which characters from various franchises are edited as if they are having sex from behind, with the format based on a leaked scene of Abby engaging in intercourse. The format originated on 4chan's /v/ board in mid-June 2020 following the similar Abby choke edits and bite edits.
