      “An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.

      Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.

        It’s funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn’t come across as a “child” as they were older then me at the time.

        Dark humor be like that though.

      Us Scots can say our aitches - always annoys me to hear “an hospital” on the BBC.

      Faaking Laanduners - that’s who’ll be saying “an hero”.
