Some people identify as "attack helicopter".


TIL, and it's even a first page search result.

> I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above


It's a stupid meme, mocking the trend among Tumblr's sexually confused teenagers to put down "autism", or "zodiac", or "Sherlock Holmes" as their gender and insisting that everyone refer to them using their super special unique pronouns they invented.


...No they don't.

If you manage to find two people who do, congratulations on being "technically" correct.


It's a meme, relax.

I think it's not as funny as the Navy Seal meme, though!

This is a very tired meme. If anyone doesn't understand it, perhaps one can understand its usage by context, usually accompanied by ideas such as "gender isn't real, to prove it, I identity as a helicopter" (ironically/jokingly of course) and the classic "triggered".


Identifying as an Apache attack helicopter is ridiculous but identifying as a ferret is constructive. That's what furries are.
