But these are Pop Team Epic anime fans, so this seems about right.”]

Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone is doing it. They’re not! Don’t think that. But fans are certainly striking “Pop Team Epic-style pose” (ポプテピピック風ポーズ or “Poptepipic-fuu poozu”) or simply “Pop Team Epic pose” (ポプテピピックのポーズ or “Poptepipic-fuu poozu”). While there are various famous poses in Pop Team Epic, flicking people off is the one.

Of course, you’d expect this from cosplayers.

Notice the one kid doing a Pop Team Epic.

If the Pop Team Epic pose becomes even more popular, and we’ll be in the midst of a middle finger renaissance.
