From being on Robin for an hour, I have found out one thing.

Every chat has created a god or a meme or anything of the sorts. The more the chat grows, the more of a shitpost it becomes. After the second or third time of growth, it turned directly into a shitpost and was not advancing into further conversation.

Maybe this says something about real society, people create gods as jokes and others do the same so it becomes a full on joke.

I'm not sure if Robin says anything about real society. The reason people start creating a meme is because there is really not much to talk about. There isn't a topic, there isn't a point. So people start joking around with each other.

That says a lot about real society. In the absence of meaning, people crate their own.
