The #Bowlcut symbol is associated with the 2015 attack carried out by white supremacist Dylann Roof at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Following the attack, many white supremacists attempted to distance themselves from it or claimed that it was a \u201cfalse flag\u201d operation intended to suppress the momentum of the white supremacist movement. Some of Roof\u2019s defenders even attempted to portray him as a saint.<\/h2>\n

Since 2017, however, an increasing number of predominantly younger white supremacists have not only expressed approval of Roof\u2019s attack, but have openly portrayed him as a hero or even as a \u201csaint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roof\u2019s admirers frequently use his distinctive bowl haircut to refer to themselves and to like-minded followers. This includes using the word \u201cbowl\u201d in slogans and coded expressions such as \u201cBowltrash\u201d and \u201cThe Final Bowlution,\u201d as well as collective terms such as \u201cBowl Gang\u201d and \u201cBowlwaffen Division.\u201d They may also use slang expressions such as \u201ctake the bowl pill\u201d or \u201cif you don\u2019t respect the bowl, you pay the toll.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roof supporters also create and circulate memes related to him online, including depictions of Roof as a saintly figure with a halo around his head. Even more common are memes featuring Roof\u2019s bowl haircut, either on its own or digitally superimposed onto the heads of other people. \n\nIn one commonly circulated image, Roof\u2019s haircut has been placed on a shield designed to resemble the insignia of military units of the Waffen-SS in Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n

More recent white supremacist mass killers, including Robert Bowers, who carried out the October 2018 attack on a synagogue in Pittsburgh, and particularly Brenton Tarrant, the Australian white supremacist responsible for the March 2019 attacks targeting mosques in New Zealand, have also attracted attention from white supremacists who circulated memes glorifying them.<\/p>\n
