    All posts here at Penny Arcade Forums are filtered for Bro Impurities. If a post is suspected to be excessively Bro, the Bro? button will label that post as Bro Suspect. Based on undisclosed brogarithms, when a post hits enough Bro? tags, it is attached to an email that is mailed to several leading universities and the heads of their Brology departments. Brologists will take time to study the post for its Bro Quotient (BQ) to make sure it does not exceed the legal Bro Attitude Content (BAC). Posts that test negative will remained untouched. Posts that test positive will be carefully edited by Geth to remove Bro content until it is within safe limits.

    We at Penny Arcade Forums understand that our users enjoy Broing It Out every so often, but we gently remind you that Bro behavior has consequences when done in excess. If you have any questions about the new Bro? button or Brological studies in general, feel free to email Geth and tap its considerable database on the subject.

    Thank you for you time and please: Bro Responsibly.

    I predict this new brotton results in a brotastrophy of such broportion that our brollective forum bro-quotient (brotient) reaches brofinity, resulting in the Penny Arcade forums transforming into the Bronny Broade broums.

    At which point the brods will have to perform a broectomy.

    I love that the icon for Bro? now appears to be a brofist, but it changes my interpretation of what the sentiment that was supposed to be expressed by Bro? is.

    I instinctively thought that Bro? was to be used in a positive way. As in "Not only do I agree, wanna go grab a beer?". So I will use it as such.

    Sabrotage.

    Seriously, bros. Be careful when broing it out with other bros. It isn't safe.

    I'm taking it as being identical to the agree button except only to be used while drunk.

  • Grunt's GhostsGrunt's Ghosts Registered User regular
    The bro? button is for when your bro does something so awesome in a bro manner that you look at him like "Bro? Pound that shit, bro."

    It's not Gurl? button now. Make sure to respect it.

  • HounHoun Registered User regular
    The fistbump image leads me to believe that it is a declarative: Bro (brō), interjection, Exclamatory statement of approval or compliment. Which makes it like a "kudos" button.

    But then there's the question mark.

    Bro?

    Is it a button for requesting confirmation? Do I click it if I am uncertain of the bro-ness of the content? Or is it asking me? "Bro? Is this Bro, Houn? Only you can click me to confirm, bro."

    I am torn between quarreling broterpretations. It is not bro, bro. Not bro at all, bro.
