Ahenobarbus Henocied: Difference between revisions

'''Ahenobarbus Henocied''' is a nickname for an edited image of a Japanese ichimatsu doll with large bloodshot eyes and a bloodied mouth, which is commonly used a [[screamer]] image. There were two lines of text on the image, stating: "この画像の時間以内に他の掲示板に貼 らないと年末に恐ろしい事が起こります. 画像を貼らず亡くなった人も本当にいます" ("If you don't post it on another bulletin board within the time of this image, horrible things will happen at the end of the year. Some people really died without posting images". The name "Ahenobarbus Henocied" originated from a Facebook account, which included the image as the profile picture of itself. The account had linked to many acts of pure evil, such as seeking out children on social media and bombarding them with horrific images of gore, torture, and other types of graphic content.

Before the picture had its debut in the Japanese internet culture, it was first used as a chain letter that would say "この画像を1時間以内にほかの掲示板に①個貼らないと年末に恐ろしいことがおこります。画像を貼らずに亡くなった人も本当にいます" (If you don't post this image on another imageboard within one hour, something terrible will happen at the end of the year. There are also people who died because they didn't send this picture.). The [[screamer]] is said to have been spreading around since 2005,<ref>anotherr.exblog.jp/3951145/ - One of the earliest posts including the image.</ref> but there were a few images similar to this that appeared in 2004. There are two theories about this: One explains that the image had appeared on the thread from a Japanese website, and the second one suggests that the image had been shared on the internet after 2005.<ref name="thetuburo">thetuburo.com/2021/10/03/2019-01-31-150709/</ref> A user named THEつぶろ contacted a few users about the image of that doll, which all of them replied to seeing it on the bulletin board after that year,<ref name="thetuburo" /> proving the second theory might be true in this manner.
