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.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MrBeast before 2024. Everyone seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about the guy's content and I don't recall him attracting too much drama before the Dawson situation.
Which is something I just couldn't compell. A guy who's content is so extremely materialistic became a symbol of le reddit wholesomeness. Basically all his content is just him being a feudal lord sitting on a high horse, throwing money at peasants performing humiliating acts to his amusement.
Fucking disgusting.
Ion like him but if he does good stuff w his money i aint complaining
Man fuck that logic, you are rendering yourself a perfect target for the chugging scam
Mr Beast has like this haunted look, I've disliked his shit from the jump
His dead eyes. His smiling is always just so damned unsettling.
I remember coming across him way before he was famous, when he was just keeping x amount of fidget spinners going for 24 hours and whatnot, and my first thought about him ever was "there is nothing behind those eyes".
I hadn't even heard of him until he did that Fortnite collab but he instantly gives off creepy vibes. He seems extremely fake.

This was a while ago, but it was a Tuesday night at my bar and Cillian Murphy was there by himself, and he hung out and chatted with me for like an hour, hour and a half. I was a 20-somethiing bartender at the time- there was no one else there really, he had no reason to be nice other than he was just a nice guy. He was a 20-something superstar as well, this was after the Dark night
Yeah all the time, people are just dumb and willing to look past obvious red flags just because someone acts confident. I mean we literally have a name for those people "con man" short for "confidence man" a man who exhudes confidence while scamming people.
And yet, everyone just likes confidence even when it's an obvious narcissist pos and then two years later they're all crying to me "can you believe Geoff would do that?" And im like yeah it was pretty obvious and you guys kicked me out of your friend group so fuck you too.
I have definitely been the only one in the room to realize that the person everybody likes, is a snake.
Were I the first and only person in ghe world to realize this? No, definitely not. But in that particular constellation of people in one specific room at one specific time, I was and it fucking sucked everytime it happened.
There have also been plenty of times where I was the one to figure out late that someone was shitty because I kept believing in the best of them, and that also sucks.
Can't judge people who don't catch on early to someone being a shit person.
It happened to me with many disgraced celebrities, but so far the worst one has been Leonardo DiCaprio. After The Beach, he gives me a horribly bad vibe. Strangely enough, it doesn't happen with anything he did before The Beach.
Whatever horrible thing he did that stained his soul to such a degree, it must have happened between Celebrity and the end of filming The Beach. It's as if he became 25, went to Thailand, and did something that turned him evil or something.
Keep going. Have you ever felt this way before about others and shown your feeling was accurate?
Gavin Newsom.
The very first time I ever saw a picture of the guy, he gave me "80s movie bad guy who wants to buy the local community center to tear it down and build a shitty hotel" vibes.

My friend group was in our late teens, we partied hard, we had each others backs... but we were so very inexperienced with the world. Then this one girl brought her new boyfriend... early thirties, soldier, fit, cool, experienced.
I had this instant dislike, his words were... too smooth, his jokes were funny, yes, but also cruel. He radiated a kind of coolness like uranium radiates poison. Everybody was all over him, the lads wanted to be like him, the lasses wanted him. I could not bring myself to like him and got accused of being jealous.
He broke up some lifelong friendships and budding relationships. He ended up getting two of the girls pregnant and went to prison because one of them was underage at the time. I feel vindicated, but I can't say I'm happy about it. The only good thing to come out of that is that I left that group and went a different way in life.
Me for Bill Gates and Mark Cuban, back when everyone loved them. Bill Gates was basically idolized on reddit, partaking on reddit santa and all that.
The rehabilitation of Bill Gates's image after he left MicroSoft was mind blowing. Like here's the most capitalist capitalist in the world, the Elon Musk of the 90s/early 00s, and otherwise progressive people were fawning over him because he did a little philanthropy at the behest of his wife.
It's like listening to gamers talk about Windows being an OS with such wide compatibility, when the only reason for that is market share forcing everyone else to bend to it and write Windows drivers for everything.
And I still wonder where we'd be in computing if MS hadn't anointed Intel and their old-timey architecture as the winner of the CPU wars.
Ballmer dripping with sweat and screaming did wonders in the "taking eyes off Bill" department.
Gates was smart but mostly he is just another selfish manipulator with a huge hole in his soul. Home computers were new and he made them less than they could have been to keep his company on top. He lied he stole and in the end tried to convince everyone he was a decent person. Everyone else is just catching up.
They weren't old enough to remember what a prick Bill was. Him being a retired philanthropist is standard whitewashing
Yep. He is doing the Rockefeller to buy his legacy. Tossing coins to children for photo ops and building libraries and schools to put his name on.
Mark Cuban is a difficult one. He has reduced drug prices to the cost plus a profit margin (which is low*) and so its like "Wow somebody cares!" And this has benefited thousands. But then he says I might fund a new venture and sell Cost Plus Drugs one day; So really he doesn't care, he's looking for a big buyer to come in and offer a huge payout to stop the big pharma company losses.
Of all the billionaires to worry about, Mark Cuban is way down the list. If we put him under a microscope, we can find things to complain about, but there are so many other better places to direct our wary eye.

Me for Jack Black
I guess I'm out of the loop, what did he do?
Capitulated to right wingers by firing his supposed best friend and band mate Kyle for making a joke about Trump.

I'm having this when it comes to the movie Casablanca. Everyone is like "oh, what a timeless romance", and all I see is a bromance of two guys who won't let women go to safety with their families unless they sleep with them.
