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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
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."
.... no? Well... we might need to go a different direction with your position here...
Koko could not speak.
She want taught an existing form of sign language, she was taught a never explained version of signing, which only the people who worked with her knew, and this was never documented in any scientific way for peer review, and the results weren't reproducable with other gorilla's or other researchers.
Best case scenarios, the humans involved anthropomorphized the gorilla, and thought they were communicating on a level much higher than they were actually communicating on, do to this.
Worst case, there were lying knowingly, and this was some sort of scam for money.
Is that an issue? As long as it's only Koko seeing them?
That Wikipedia page seems to suggest that the director was using it as an excuse to peek at their nipples himself.
Dicks out for Harambe
Tits out for Koko?
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 😂
