Who Is Dom And Why Do Anti-Vax 5G Conspiracy Theorist Lockdown Protesters Want To Free Him?

Yesterday’s anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne was attended by people with all the shittest ideas: anti-vaxxers, 5G conspiracy theorists, and people who believe Bill Gates should be arrested for creating the coronavirus pandemic (he absolutely did not).

To top it all off, they protesters couldn’t decide whether the pandemic was a hoax (it’s not) or if it was a deliberate plot to take over the world (again, it’s not).

But it was their signs which caught the attention of Aussie Twitter and had everyone asking: who the fuck is Dom, and why does he need to be freed?

Is Dom in danger? Does he need help? We absolutely had to get to the bottom of it.

Why are people outside parliament protesting to Free Dom? Who’s Dom and what’s he done?! #FreeDom pic.twitter.com/qzqcqDeU6z

If we learnt anything from the #protestors in #Melbourne today it is this: (1) We need to free ‘Dom’ (whoever he is) & (2) Landscape is a much more user-friendly layout for protest signs https://t.co/h1uLP3ciQb

But then kink Twitter got wind of the protest, and people released released they might have actually been demanding free dominatrices.

That would also warrant a huge protest on the steps of state parliament in Melbourne, no doubt. Subs of Victoria, rise up!

I want a free dom. The one I have now charges 100$ an hour.

Ok, so we’ve established the meaning of the “free” part. But the jury was still out as to whether it was “free dom” or “free Dom”.

Dom Perignon is not exactly cheap these days. It’s the new petrol.

Fight for your free Dom Perignon

Look, free Dom would be great, but if not, free Krug or even free Pol Roger would be OK pic.twitter.com/Sr1M8L6iTF

Maybe this is something worth getting after all…

That is, if they weren’t a bunch of conspiracy theorists breaching the two-person gathering limit to falsely preach that the coronavirus pandemic is a hoax.

This shit is irresponsible and a threat to public health.

On second thought, you can keep your dom.
