About
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 The Last of Us Part II character 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.
Origin
On April 26th. 2020, at approximately 2:00 PM EST an unknown YouTube[1][2] user leaked key cutscenes from the game, revealing major plot details.
On the 3rd of May 2020, an anonymous 4chan[3] user created a /v/ thread, posting a still image of The Last of Us II character Ellie being choked by a new character Abby (shown below, left). In the same thread, another user requested a template for the scene,[4] which was provided shortly after (shown below, right).[5]
In the same thread,[6] the first known edit was posted by an anonymous user; a reference to the Daily Dose / Piccolo Dick meme (shown below).
Spread
On May 8th, a thread dedicated to memes based on the template was created.[7] An expanded version of the template was posted in the thread,[8] allowing users to edit the character doing the choking as well. The thread accumulated over 541 replies with multiple memes based on the templates posted (examples shown below).[9][10]
In addition to 4chan, the format received spread on Facebook and Twitter in the following days.
