From the charging documents:

"remember how I was engraving bullets? The fucking messages are mostly a big meme, if I see 'notices bulge uwu' on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna leave it, that really fucking sucks"

I dont have a stake in the market, but this seems like a clear no to me

I think it’s still quite plausible that the intention of the message was pro-trans!

@bens The bulge one? I still really really strongly disagree that that meme is about transness in any way

@Robincvgr memes mean different things than they originated to mean! I think from context clues (his partner and roommate, the question Kirk was asked immediately before the shot, etc) it seems more likely than not that the intent of the message was pro-trans, insofar as "pro-trans" means something in this context. I'm obviously not passing moral judgment on this or think this has any impact on the event, but memes take on new meanings in different contexts, that's basically the entire point of memes, and the phrase "notices bulges" obviously has a dual meaning that Robinson would have been far from the first to pick up on. As I pointed out earlier, the use of this meme in forums has been used in a trans-specific context for a long time, it's not a novel usage.

@bens I guess I'm not sure how @strutheo will litigate "these can be confirmed by sources that i deem trustworthy" but I would say that if Tyler Robinson were given truth serum about his intent in scratching those words into the bullet casing, I would bet at pretty high odds that the intent was as I am claiming.

at least some on the right got the gist lol

@strutheo mmm. don't like this

@strutheo lol at calling flesh rw

@A16ab idk who it is just saw the furry comments

i feel like everyone's wrong here because it really did have transcriptions they just weren't quite trans-related

@jim Therefore, I think the only fair resolution is 50%

@jim I agree. It's hard to objectively resolve this.

I literally say it's just about the transgender claim in the text though

@jim you say while holding no YES

@jim That's a crazy interpretation. If the transcriptions weren't trans-related, then he didn't have pro-trans transcriptions on his guns. You wouldn't give a market on him being a black man 50% because he was a man after all.

(I don't hold any positions in this market)

@LukasTilmann jim's joshing

@jim i like how my brain wrote transcriptions instead of inscriptions

@Chumchulum 🤔

"Notices bulges; what's this" should absolutely count. That's pretty unambiguous

EDIT: okay, it's NOT unambiguous clearly

@bens that's furry, not trans

@bens that has been a furry meme for as long as ive been on the internet

@bens https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/notices-bulge-owo-whats-this

its funny to think this has changed through internet telephone to be about the bulge itself, and not about the cutsey language/face which was the original emphasis

@strutheo yes, I know the origins, but I think the meaning has shifted over time, and paired with the other language on the bullet (anti-fascist stuff) and the timing of the shot (during a question on trans shootings), I think the meaning is pretty clear

nah this is an internet meme it is not specific to transgender people.... i can see why people might be confused with how its been used lately though, and im sure trump and maga will purposely claim it is, i do not think that is a truthful claim and to resolve this yes would only serve that narrative

im still leaving this open since maybe his other beliefs and postings can change the context for me

@bens I'm sorry, but as an expert on these matters, it really, really hasn't. It's still very solidly a furry meme

@Marnix I am also an internet denizen and uhhh, it's not

can you show me a place where its used in a transgender related way, i cant think of one honestly

@bens literally the only time i have seen "notices ur bulge owo" used in any transgender context it's been in a transphobic context

also note this market says GENUINE as in he has to express these beliefs, if this is a false flag or he is clearly joking based on his other posts, it resolves no

@strutheo if you search "notices bulges" in any webforum (make sure to filter by dates before Sep 12th, lol) you'll get about 80% content from furry community and 20% content from the trans community

I'm not gonna paste screenshots here but like: https://x.com/search?q=%22notices%20bulges%22%20until%3A2025-09-11&f=live&src=typed_query

i feel like this is due to it being a common internet meme people say ironically though, i can find straight people who arent furries also saying it
