The fact that it’s all rehearsed and refined and outlined and stage-managed only makes it slightly less bonkers. This is the face these people are CHOOSING to present to the world.
The meme implies that you are the shown kid, so of course it's not proper use, you should be shown whatever that kid is seeing. His point of view, a 1st person view. It's not that hard.
From what I’ve seen when it’s the pov of an animate object you use its pov, so this could be the tvs pov. If it’s a person you use theirs. Memeing is serious business so I am glad you asked

Guess who went to sleep way too late last night because I stayed to watch the nature documentary my dad fell asleep to.

As long as he wasn’t snoring, you can sit behind your dad and imagine he’s the one narrating.

Back in my day we used to make “tfw” (that feel when) or “mfw” (my face when) posts that rarely if ever contained a face or a feeling

We even added "> mfw I have no face" to address that if we felt particularly quirky !

For anyone needing a bit of whimsy in their life: read acronyms as if they're normal words. "Miffwuh I have no face"

Sorry but you just activated my pedant mode...
adjusts glasses anime style um akshually, that is the definition of an acronym, otherwise it is just an initialism.

Gets repetitive after a while, though.

And then have an out-of-body experience where you watch yourself doing that from the outside.

Why would you watch yourself instead of your mother's series?
beebarfbadger@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
No idea but that's the point of view of that picture. The view clearly being my stance, not the series.

You obviously know how to use POV ;)

Plot twist.....the series is South Park.

That's not POV, unless you are your mom
fosho@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y
that still doesn't make sense. no one in the scene is watching this guy so NOT POV.
lugal@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
The TV does. TV watching goes both ways

Isn't this an actual proper use of the POV format though?

yeah this is a mfw format. mfw my mom is watching something Lowkey interesting and i have to pretend I'm not watching.
MagnyusG@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y
the pov format is inherently flawed because it's almost never actually from your "point of view"
metaStatic@kbin.earth · 25 pts · 1y
MFW: POV is used incorrectly. SMH my head.

POV: you think there's an incorrect way to use understood words
fosho@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y
