I learned about this today. I already knew a few stories about her, how she liked kittens und Robin Williams.

The nipple story makes her seem more relatable.

The problem with what happened in 2005 is that the director pressured them into revealing themselves. Although I am confused as to how this was found out in the first place

Koko could speak sign language, so she could ask.

I have heard that was way over-exaggerated

Yep. It was a big fraud.

No but seriously I am working on the Black Mesa video and general shitposting it's just taking a while and I wanted to put something out that I already had a lotta notes and footage for in the interim.

Great source you got there.

Have you actually watched the video? Or only like the first minute of it?

You would not be saying this bullshit if you actually watched the video, its incredibly well researched. (Fucking hell, the dude says before your quote that he has been researching this for a couple of years)

She could definitely sign something like show nipples.

...or at least something that her handler can "interpret" that way

"hey, Koko wants you to take off your top."

"really?"

"Yeah, she's fascinated by nipples. Hold on, lemme get my camera."

Although I am confused as to how this was found out in the first place

The affected people sued the organizion?

No that Koko liked nipples. That was established before 2005

koko says show nipples. she also says I have to be there and that you should let me bat them around a little

Koko the talking monkey, says “Apple nipple hungry,” Koko the talking monkey, says “Apple nipple crap!” I wanna be Koko…

Whoever finishes the lyric has a spot in my own personal hall of fame 😂
