Болезнь лигма что это
Ninja пал жертвой Ligma
Ninja, наиболее популярный стример Twitch, пал жертвой Ligma. Теперь в социальных сетях хоронят попавшегося на розыгрыш стримера и просят остановить опасное «заболевание».
Слухи о смерти Ninja, настоящее имя которого Тайлер Блевинс, стартовали с публикации в инстаграме ninja_hater от 16 июля. В нём наиболее известный игрок в Fortnite и стример с 9,7 миллионами фолловеров был добавлен на популярный шаблон с мем-небесами, который чаще всего используют после смерти знаменитости.
Распространяйте это. Давайте создадим фейковую новость — ninja_hater
В тот же день изображение перепостил Spookid, известный мем-аккаунт со 128 тысячами подписчиков.
«ОМФГ, пожалуйста, скажите, что это ложь, Ninja не мог умереть. Я трясусь, и плачу, и пержу», — Spookid.
17 июля сайт о видеоиграх Twin Galaxies разместил статью, изучавшую слухи о смерти Ninja от болезни под названием ligma.
Ninja, ты мёртв? Тут слухи ходят. Если ответишь, очевидно, что нет, но если промолчишь, то я даже не знаю.
Учитывая, что стример в это время проводил постоянные трансляции и делал публикации в соцсетях, вряд ли слухи о его смерти могли долго продержаться. Однако вечером 17 июля фейковая новость сделала неожиданный поворот.
Spookid оставил комментарий под снимком Ninja в Instagram, написав, что он думал, что стример умер от ligma. Когда Ninja клюнул и задал вопрос ему, что же такое ligma, в ответ он получил множество комментариев с панчлайном шутки.
«Люблю Калифорнию»
«Какого чёрта, я думал, что ты умер от лигмы?»
«Что такое лигма?»
Ligma balls произносится практически идентично lick my balls, что переводится «лизни мои яйца». Определение появилось в словаре сленга Urban Dictionary ещё 13 июня этого года, однако попавшийся на подкол Ninja невольно придал ей популярности.
В скором времени Ninja удалил комментарий Spookid и свой ответ, однако скриншот остался в аккаунте последнего. Изначально стримера взбесила шутка: во время недавнего стрима 20 июля он попросил модераторов своего канала банить зрителей, спамивших ligma balls в чат.

About
Ligma is a fictional disease associated with a death hoax orchestrated by Instagram user ninja_hater that claimed Fortnite streamer Ninja had passed away after contracting the disease. The intention of this joke was to prompt concerned fans to ask what Ligma is, to which participants in the hoax would respond with «ligma balls» («lick my balls»), a joke setup similar to Deez Nuts and Updog. The hoax also spawned in-jokes about the fictional nationality Sugondese («suck on these»), the Indonesian city Grabahan («grab a hand») and the fictional diseases Sugma («suck my») and Bofa («both of»).
Origin
On May 28th, 2018, Instagram user Galevik uploaded a video showing a Twitter conversation in which he tells David Hogg «you should boycott ligma» (shown below). Within two months, the post gained over 307,100 views.
