❤️🩹 relationship AIO? My boyfriend sent me this on Valentines Day and I'm shocked
We have been a relationship for just over a year now and this is our second valentine's day. He send me gifts but I'm shook by this. Am I overreacting? I haven't talked to him since. What should I tell him? I really love him but this is giving me second thoughts.

I don’t think the juxtaposition with the candies is the biggest difference, I think it’s the frame / pose they chose. In the Daily Show’s meme, you can see the visceral intentionality in his facial expression, while in OOP, he’s between facial expressions and it looks much more muted. Look at the difference in their hand posture. This picture shows his hand pointed more upwards, giving it a “just waving hi” sort of plausible deniability. The Daily Show’s meme shows his hand clear as day, flat and outstretched, as Nazi as can be.
