The 'Free John Pork' movement is an ironic internet subculture centered around the CGI character John Pork, a humanoid figure with a pig’s head. Originally gaining fame through the 'John Pork is Calling' TikTok trend in early 2023, the lore evolved as users began creating dramatic stories about his arrest, disappearance, and even his supposed demise. This absurdist narrative has transformed John Pork into a digital folk hero, with fans using the 'Free John Pork' slogan to parody serious social justice movements. The meme thrives on low-quality edits, breaking news templates, and emotional soundtracks, turning a bizarre digital avatar into a centerpiece of Gen Z irony and storytelling.
