An Internet meme based off of Harambe, who was a gorilla. I say "was" because he's now a dead gorilla.
He was shot after a 3y/o baby fell into his enclosure. The zoo owners, believing that the gorilla might harm the infant, killed him. This spawned a massive internet discourse over whether or not they acted appropriately, occurring mostly between ignorant pricks with gorilla fetishes and intelligent people who recognize that Harambe was a wild animal and would have had no problem with killing an infant.
Naturally people decided it would be hilarious to make a joke out of the entire thing; including "dicks out for Harambe" which jokingly requests readers of the meme to hang their penis outside of their pants as a sign of, confusingly, "respect" for Harambe.
Aside from strange references towards male genitalia, people have made a meme out of the name itself. It's not uncommon to see the username Harambe/some variant of it, or people making up stories about him: "he's the gorilla god", "he's still alive", etc.
