About
Too much ass is a catchphrase on 4chan that is associated with the country Ireland, where Irishmen are stereotyped as disliking big asses on women. It originated from 4chan's /sp/ board.
Background
Flags were first added on /sp/ on July 2nd, 2012 for the 2012 Olympics.[2] At that time, the impact of having flags was not fully felt yet, and stereotypes based on country had yet to be formed.
Origin
On July 6th, 2012, four days after flags were added, in a gymnastics thread made in preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, an image of the gymnast Bridgette Glass was posted.[1] The first reply to the image had an Ireland flag, saying "too much ass, but that is hot as fuck". The reply in turn generated over 30 replies, most of which greentexted "too much ass" with a > prefix.

Spread
During the following days, the phrase "too much ass" spread to other boards such as /v/ and /tv/.[3] On boards with flags, every poster from Ireland was mocked with the reply ">too much ass", and on boards without, any post with even a hint of disliking women's asses that were "too big" would be seen as being posted by someone from Ireland.
Despite a number of Irish posters claiming that they did like women with big asses, the stereotype would stick.
