    I have yet to see someone use this meme properly once. This tells me not enough people watched the show and understand the context of their own fucking meme.

      I think many people assume it’s Dr. Who, and if The Doctor is looking at you like that, ya done fucked up.

      But very different context in Jessica Jones.

        Yeah that’s what I mean though, the context of the image matters, wouldn’t want to look like an asshole by implicitly contradicting your message by associating the context you know?

      A meme combines image and text to make a joke. Usually made to reach the widest audience possible else becoming a meta meme.

      Do claim sour grapes because the JD Vance meme lacks authenticity to its subject too? Do you think we should redefine all media to suit your tastes? We should be brain rot tv addicts before we’re allowed to interact with JPEGS? Tell us how you really feel. this is my favorite comment for the day.

        Sour grapes? are you 80 years old?

        No, it’s just that you’re putting the people in the wrong roles relative to the source and that matters. I just needed to point out that anyone recognizing the meme will think you’re villainizing the objectively correct Millennials here, and contradicting yourself. Unless you’re intending to argue that the Gen Zers are correct with this meme? Honestly I’m confused what your goals were at all with this post.
        You can try to gaslight me to make yourself look less goofy if you like but the question remains and I promise you I’m not the only one thinking this, just put a little more thought into it before you shit out memeslop.

      This is the first known use of this meme:

      It’s the way the two people appear, not whatever the original context of the scene was, that’s relevant.

          How can you misuse a meme that never existed before?

          that’s a dumb meme saying nothing.

          Yeah, that’s how it is with most memes. They’re not meant to be taken seriously. Actually, there’s a meme for that!

      I don’t know what this meme is from. I understood the context of the meme. It was funny. Get bent you don’t even understand how memes work. Spoiler it’s not to accommodate weird fans of shitty media.

        You’re being a bit rude, no? Especially about something you both don’t know and don’t seem to care to know? Which is the weirdest time to speak your mind and be a dick about it. I suppose this is the anti-intellectual age after all. In any case, and not that you care, but maybe someone else does. He is playing a mind controlling sociopath in Jessica Jones. So, the context here would be him having complete control over her, and anything he says, becomes reality in her mind. Makes it a confusingly bad choice for this particular use.

          I mean OP began the conversation being bit rude? To me that’s an open door to be an asshole and I am deep down an asshole, and it’s who I really wanna be all the time. If you don’t want to me to be rude…. Don’t play holier than thou with memes.

          No I just thought accusing someone of not understanding their own meme was the dumbest thing I was going to read for a while. It was.
