    Hahaha, looks like we’re back to arguing about the old No True Memesmen falacy…

    Screenshots of text that you don’t like aren’t memes because of reasons

      I never said I don’t like the screenshot I referenced, I just looked up for “twitter screenshot” on DDG and took a representative link. I find the content of the screenshot mildly amusing.

      However, many people (including me) do not consider those to be memes;
      if the most widely recognized definition of the word includes them, then I question its usefulness beyond a synonim for “funny quote”.
