But I’m talking about real memes from the Internet.

Not the best comparison. A spinning chip with a loop of Funky Town would almost certainly just be taking two things made by someone else and slapping them together. Badger Badger was made as an original piece of music with original animations by Mr Weebl. Even if both are somewhat mindless, one is a soulless asset swap while the other is an all original multimedia creation created by someone who genuinely put effort into bringing mirth into other people's lives.

Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 66d (1 reply)

Totally agree. And timing. Big platforms didn't exist, or were still small. The internet was still new to a lot of people and no phones to access it. We had to go to a website on a PC and actively choose to watch it.

I could be wrong but that feels more special than a video liked and shared over a big corp messaging app.

Sunsofold@lemmings.world · 3 pts · 66d

It meant you probably found it because a real person showed it to you and the two of you shared a human moment rather than you were thrown at it by an algorythm trying to keep you staring at the screen.

Brainrot is eternal, but I will say that old brainrot has a bit more kick to it like pre-atomic steel or import cars with safety exceptions. Also UN Owen Was Her edits seem to be eternal now that I think about it, the Dawn of War one by Alfabusa lives rent free in my head.

My sister's friend group had an opposite group communication style. Every conversation I overheard went something like:

"We're going to Hawaii next month."

"We went to Hawaii last year."

"Oh, we went to Mexico last year."

"We might go to Mexico someday."

"I've heard of Mexico..."

Zero substance, no followup questions, no apparent interest in what anyone else is saying except as cues to say something else. "I just got a new car." "I have a car too." "I'm saying something about cars." "My cousin talks about cars." "I have three cousins."

psilotop@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 66d (19 replies)

I've never heard of anything connected to her. What did she do?

driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br · 9 pts · 66d (18 replies)

Let me guess, she was harassed, complained about, gamers were banned, peaches unfrozen.

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 66d (17 replies)

The reverse, actually. Back on reddit, she made a comic about her sexually harassing men, the joke being "haha, this never happens". She was then informed that this does, in fact, very much happen, and reacted... badly. The comments blew up, and it ended with the mods nuking the thread and banning everyone who criticised her. It left a very bad taste in people's mouths.

As you may imagine, the fact that every time she's criticised here the default response is "oh, you just hate her for being a woman" isn't exactly helping. If anything, all the comments jumping straight to "fuck you you will die alone" are actively making it worse.

driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br · 2 pts · 66d (15 replies)

Better attach a proof with that. Hard to believe having read some of her comics.

Aqarius@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 66d (14 replies)

...Really? I mean, sure, it's not like it's obscure. She even make a damage control faux-apology about it when it looked like people were turning on her. Unironically saying "I don't hate men at all. I have a son! Lol" was a particularly memorable response.

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 66d (3 replies)

All the links there just go to this comic https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dpptkk/talk/#lightbox, which is very obviously none of the things people seemed to be complaining about. Is there a much more offensive one I just haven’t seen yet somewhere?

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 66d

The comic that kicked it off, linked at the top, yes. I don't know what your threshold for "obvious" or "much more offensive" is, but the rest of the links are people who obviously found it objectionable, as well as her (and the mod's) reaction to having objections.

AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 66d (5 replies)

Wow and people are still like "Never forget!!!" to bring this up? The comic is clearly satire and even funnier with the reaction.

Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting example of a different kind of brainrot - promoting and reinforcing victimhood in young men which ultimately helped the rise of inceldom and neo-fascism.

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 66d

They are. And they will continue to be, until people learn to stop dismissing them, or at least learn to stop poking the proverbial bear. Until then, you can expect every pizzacake thread to turn into a capsule speedrun of how "the left" lost men.

driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br · 2 pts · 66d (3 replies)

she made a comic about her sexually harassing men,

Where is the proof of this?

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 66d

It's linked in the thread.

If your intention is to do the Ben Shapiro "prove to my criterion" thing, I'm not interested.

This hatred is far more insufferable than her mid comics. Nothing makes more more unwilling to remove her comics than people trying to be the arbiters of comic quality.
