“Pics That Actually Go Hard”: 50 Of The Most Unhinged Posts

The internet is weird, we probably all know that. Yet it still finds ways to surprise us almost every day. I, for example, just today found out about the “All Your Base Are Belong To Us"meme. It’s just the right amount of nonsensical, weird, and… well, internet.

The “Pics that ACTUALLY go hard” group is fairly new. Not in its concept, but in the date it was created. The group’s bio explains that this is a new group because the other ‘Pics That Go Hard’ became “more of a general meme page and not actuallypics that go hard.“Still, even now, the members often disagree about whether the pictures that the moderators approve are actuallyhard pics. The group’s admins have tried setting some rules about what constitutes a hard pic. “If I have to read it, it’s not a hard pic,” one of the admins wrote in a post.

The “Pics that ACTUALLY go hard” group is not the only community dedicated to hard images. There are similar pages on Instagram and X (Twitter), and, of course, Reddit. Moderators from one of those groups on Reddit have more clearly defined guidelines about what hard images are.

The r/hardimages2 community, for example, describes hard images as rebellious and silly at the same time. It’s the juxtaposition of something cool with a thing that’s either childish or just generally ridiculous. “LikeDeadpoolwearing a propeller hat or gangsta Spongebob,” the subreddit’s bio reads.

“Remember that hard images should make you laugh too,” they add. “This isn’t for posting a cool thing you saw, it should be for posting a cool but funny thing you saw. Batman fighting crime in pajamas would be a hard image.”

In October 2021, someone created the Pics That Go Hard X (Twitter) Account. The page featured such wonderful internet nonsense such as Snoop Dogg edited into a scene of Spongebob or a mini version of the Moyai head placed on a couch at somebody’s house.

Some people say that a pic being hard simply means it’s cool. According to the Urban Dictionary, it can bean imageof “something that is remotely interesting that involves internet culture, like a hyper-realistic picture of a corn on the cob swinging a golf club.”

On the r/hardimages2 subreddit, memberu/asterfloofhad a pretty poignant definition of a hard image. “Many times it’ll be an image of a masculine, perhaps violent character doing childish things, like Big Boss wearing a propeller hat, or vice versa, a childish character doing violent things, likeSpongebobas a gangster. That is the tried and true formula, it goes hard every time, it’s not up for debate.”
