About

Baww is an onomatopoeia for the sound of crying in loud, bawling manner. It is typically used on message boards as a genuine response to sad posts or alternatively, a sarcastic remark to overly emotional threads. The number of w's suffixed at the end may vary, depending on the intensity of the emotional experience.

Origin

"Baww" was first used in comics as a way for writers to express a character crying. One of the earliest instances of the phrase appearing in print was published in an 1947 issue of the comic Egbert^[1], where a rabbit named Buzz is trying to help another rabbit, Bunnyhunch, with a toothache.^[2] Bunnyhunch expresses his pain through the word "bawww" twice in the comic.

NOW OPEN yoURBAWWW! NO,DONT MOUTH AND ILL SLIP THE LOOP OVER YOUR ACHINGMETLL B MAD AT OU FOR THE WEST OF MY WIFE

KEEP IT UP, HUNCH AIN'T THIS DWAMATIC? FINE

The meaning of "Baww" was first added to Urban Dictionary^[9] on August 5th, 2007, which defines the onomatopoeia as synonymous with the act of whining or a patronizing response to another person's ramblings, similar to the use of tl;dr.

Spread

In the mid to late 2000s, an image of a rabbit in tears with a speech bubble reading “Bawwwww!” became a popular reaction image associated with the word online in the mid to late 2000s. The image is taken from a page in a furry erotic comic entitled Incontinent Student Bodies^[3] written by Michael McAdams (known as Karis^[4] in the furry community) and illustrated by Marci McAdam.^[5] The comic was published sometime before July 28th, 2006, when original pages of the comic were posted on 4chan. The baww bunny was added as a reaction image to Threadbombing^[8] on September 17th, 2008.

Baww Threads

Baww threads, where people post sad or emotional images and stories, were posted on 4chan as early as February 2008^[6] on the /co/ (comics & cartoons) board. They spread to other 4chan boards including /b/^[10] (random) before moving to other message boards in 2009 including film community Live Action Movie Protest^[11], automotive community Standard Shift^[12] and gaming site IGN.^[16] The next year, these types of threads were posted on the eBaum's World^[17] forums and the Gamespot forums.^[18] In November 2010, Bawwbot.net^[20] was created as a hub site for sad images.

In 2011, some 4chan users began referring to Buzzkilling and Hipster Editing threads as "anti-baww" threads. threads were also known as "anti-baww" threads in 2011. Baww has also been used as a tag on deviantArt^[13], Tumblr^[14] and Twitter^[15] to mark posts or images with sad content. As of March 2012, chanarchive^[19]has over 500 results for “baww thread.”

Notable Examples

Everyone in the apartment t complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say e. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot has appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an angle, making him look like he was always turning the His tail has long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and tw Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yell scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!" All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their mes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come win frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find. One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbors huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I d hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end. Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear- Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to suckle my r. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the p hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest y hand with his hcad, then he turned his one golden cye towards me, and I could d cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps som batt on. At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beauti doying creature I had ever scen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from mo, or struggle in any ay Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain. Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a lon little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me m g time afterwards, thinking about lhow one scarred ut giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and leam to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for Many people want to be richer, more successful, well lik ed, beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly APRIL 4, 2008 The day /b/ cried
