    I’m in the ‘Twitter posts aren’t memes’ side on this. Not even feeling slightly baited by the rage.

      I mean, this became a pretty prominent template so I don’t know how much you can really say it’s not a meme, unless you don’t regard words in general as capable of being memes.

        I think it’s a meme, but the proliferation of this exact format is why they created c/microblogmemes. Otherwise meme communities become like 70% screenshots of text.

        who needs replication and proliferation of a specific idea

          I literally noted that this became a meme template

          Are copypastas not memes? Is a meme when reaction image, and the more image it is, the more memier it is?
