About

"Fucking Subhuman Filth" refers to a phrase uttered from a character in an exploitable image macro comic, as he's directing the insult towards a character who is nearly identical to him. This format often features two ethnicities, groups or nationalities that on surface level look the same, despite one of the characters considering the other "subhuman filth".

Origin

The image appeared the first time on the 4chan board /pol/ on 12th January, 2016. ^[1] The Anonymous user asked in the post description "Why do Greeks hate Turks so much?" and the filename was named "enemies". This was most likely directed towards the Greek nationalists and posters of the board, who often engage in heated discussions and debates with Turkish posters.

Spread

The image and different variations of it spread around on 4chan, particularly on the boards /int/ and /bant/ with some occasional uses of it on Twitter and Reddit. On September 30th, 2017 the image was posted on r/TurkeyJerkey, titled "A picture paints a thousand words." ^[2] and it received over 70 upvotes in 2 years.

The meme was also referenced on YouTube by Dovahhatty in his Ubiased History of Rome series during "The Five Good Emperors" episode at the 17:41 mark, showing both an Athenian and a Spartan squabbling with each others (shown below).
