The Onceler is the antagonist from The Lorax by Dr Seuss. "Darkiplier" is an in joke from Youtuber/Streamer Markiplier's fans, to describe when he is acting up. Bill Cipher is a cartoon character from Gravity Falls, the antagonist from a 2-dimensional universe who looks like the pyramid on the US dollar bill.
The original poster dressed in a silly outfit and asked for feedback- presumably knowing it was ridiculous
and then (pretends to have) got mad at being compared to the character and others, joking that he'd rather be called a slur than suffer these comparisons.
The post ends with a pun on "one slur" / "onceler" which are homophonic
Jesus. I mean, thank you for that explanation, but I also feel even more in the dark because I’m not even familiar with most of them. Except the Lorax. But I definitely don’t remember the book well enough from my childhood to remember the villain.
It's the movie version who's an edgy twink that Tumblr got obsessed with. The book version is just green arms and hands who never shows his face.
