For me, it's the great Chinese and southeast Asian sport of water buffalo fighting. In Vietnamese the sport is known as chọi trâu which translates to buffalo fighting, and in Chinese it's known as 斗牛 which translates to bull fighting.

Truly great buffalo like Optimus Prime have even been covered by the Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10000872396390444508504577593062173053248

In this thread I will share some of the most exciting highlights from water buffalo fights. Keep in mind that these are just highlights. Many water buffalo fights are highly technical affairs as the water buffalo push and battle for position.

Another good article about the sport: https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1006372

As one of the biggest American fans of water buffalo fights, I have made all of these webms myself and have spent countless hours browsing strange Chinese streaming websites to find the best water buffalo content. I even joined the Chinese app WeChat and attempted to discuss water buffalo with some of its users.

FAQ:
>Do all the fights end this fast?
No. Most water buffalo fights are characterized by long shoving matches that end when one water buffalo gives up and retreats

>Isn't this mean to the buffalo?
No. Male water buffalo absolutely love fighting. The water buffalo are treated like gods by their owners.

>How much does a water buffalo cost? I want to buy one
Good fighting water buffalo often cost hundreds of thousands of Yuan. 100k yuan = about $16,000

>why do they jump on the buffalo?
Jumping on the buffalo after it's KO'd helps revive the buffalo. It works similarly to CPR.

do you make these webms yourself?
>>
>>219283658
Yep. I search Chinese streaming video sites for the highlights then cut and edit them myself. Sometimes I even add special effects to make them even more exciting.

The purists probably don't like the special effects, but I think they're fun. The original, for reference.

If this comment translated into English is to be believed, yes. Some guy on 4chan (I don't remember which board) said that that doge emote is popular there and is based off of the doge meme dog. I don't remember what, if anything, he said about the rule34xxx username

The all time greatest is Optimus Prime. He was even written about by a major American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10000872396390444508504577593062173053248

When he died he was buried whole in his own private cemetery and a monument was erected in his honor.
