Ernie Gang: Explanation

The day is November 29th, 2017. A man going by the internet name of Alpharad decides to play VR Chat with some friends. He finds a cult of tiny Rainbow Girls. This gives Alpha an idea. They go to the character select area, and pick the most colorful character they can. Ernie from Sesame Street. About ten of his friends pick Ernie as well, and they start the first raid. They go to a bar. The owner asks them to leave. Eventually they say “Ernie Gang” so many times that the owner of the bar has to admit that Ernie Gang owns the bar. They leave the bar and raid the Rainbow Girl cult. Alpha is able to convince a few of them to join the Ernies. After they switch their character models, they raid the bar again. The bartender says, “Oh. You’re back.” Alpha asks him, “Who owns this bar?” The bartender whispers “Ernie Gang.” “Who?” The bartender reluctantly squeezed out “Ernie Gang.” This goes on for some time until he finally says in normal volume “Ernie Gang.” This concluded the great Ernie raids of 2017. Some say that the bar always has at least one Ernie in it, and it was able to stay that way for a month-and-a-half, at least until the Ugandan Knuckles raids of 2018. No one has heard Ernie Gang for a month. That concludes this chapter in internet history. At least, so far.
