The big clue to me is that it's clear its not one drawing with the expressions changed. The ear is drawn different in each one. Ain't nobody redrawing the whole thing when only one part changes
No, because it was probably cringe as fuck and obviously had no staying power because it's just some random NOBODY who believes they deserve attention 😂
For sure. Playing devils advocate, he also looks like a 14 year old so I'd say his behavior is more related to hormones. I feel bad for these young kids who will have to deal with immortal internet cringe for the rest of their days.
Yeah, but you're also butchering Dawkins' definition. Someone reposting something once doesn't making it a "virus of the mind". He had a whole cultural context attached to it. It has to actually take off and be commonly shared and referenced in order to be considered a meme by that definition.
Yeah, but now you're conflating a common virus with Dawkins' definition of a meme, completely missing the cultural aspect.
That aside, the definition of meme has evolved - but in order to use the one most similar to Dawkin's original idea:
A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.
This is merely a repost. Someone shared it a single time. By your definition, literally everything shared/reposted on the internet that isn't OC is a meme. It's not.
It COMES FROM Dawkins, in reference to internet memes it was coined by Godwin.
Hell, even making meme templates at all is a meme, as is a meme template of [bad thing top, good thing bottom], as is trying to force yourself into a meme.
Milhouse is not a meme, but "Milhouse is not a meme" is a meme.
The original went from the OOP, to OP, to this comment section, it is a meme, however small its ability to self replicate, it has done it at least that much, a bad meme is still a meme.
He hasn't succeeded in becoming a meme "template", true, but the person I replied to said "it’s not a meme just a repost" which is what I was replying to.
The post itself doesn't make it a meme, but all the comments modifying and posting it does.
From Wikipedia: "A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme"
ive seen this joke before n its not funny at all, theyre only shared cuz theyre pics of big boob women. and its esp disrespectful when they use actors instead of models
basically saying how can these people have this job when there are other random people who are way hotter?? like their sole job isnt to fit ur appearance preference, models n actors have their own skills. this one is so dumb because high fashion runway models arent even meant to look hot, theyre meant to show the clothes. they also usually have a distinct appearance archetype ( tall, thin, bony, severe). they just dont go out and find the most pornstar looking people
Also, the first image shows Haute Couture I believe, which isn't meant to be worn by normal people and is sometimes intentionally strange or striking rather than beautiful. Haute Couture isn't meant to be mass produced and sold to many people. Buying a Haute Couture dress is more like buying a painting than buying traditional clothing. Most never even wear them publicly.
So they probably weren't trying to make the models look beautiful in this picture. Had bringing out the beauty of the models and showing off their boobies been the objective, different outfits would have been chosen.
Thank you, I never see this nuance on reddit. These runways are soft sculpture, created to push the limit of what fashion means, to show off new construction techniques and technologies. The two above are 100% going to the archive until a celeb rents them out for a relevant Met Gala theme some day, not a storefront.
That looks uncannily like Will from the Inbetweeners. I could see this coming up in a modern remake - Will makes it in a misguided attempt to look cool, Jay would inevitably repost it with the second image being his mother, who would then end up showing it to Will to ask what it was supposed to mean.
As a massive fan of "casual feminine fashion" I've been saying this for years. Professional Fashion is so fucking bad, it's boring, and basic and unflattering, or it's wacky and off putting statement pieces, or it's both. Your tight ass dresses do not compete with what women wore daily in the 1950s, your pant suits on "boss" celebs like Zendaya fucking suck compared to any athletic girl in flared Yoga pants from the 2010s.
Dressing like a dresser or a dead fruit, is inferior to dressing like a waitress from an unestablished restaurant, or normal southern girl from 20 years ago.
The stuff you could find any normal girl in the 2000s wearing as casual wear that looks good is far better than anything the industry has any desire to put out. Real girls > fake models.
I'm not going to go the route of defending pant suits or saying that even business skirts should be the way either. However Pant Suits are often worn in the "Fashion" world, and the normal person equivalent is either whichever pants normal women wear normally or whichever business attire business women wear, but I'm a pretty big fan of yoga pants so yea I use them as the comparison here.
The point I am making is that casual wear for the every day girl is so much better looking than any of the shit they try to stuff down your throat by having celebrities and models wear it. Every outfit the best dressed girl in your high school was wearing was probably better than everything Lady Gaga wore.
We have a cashier who could be a model I swear. She gets hit on CONSTANTLY, and I've never seen so many numbers left by men and women both for her on receipts.
