Why do people hate memes so much?

[p-man]

I find them funny, sometimes true, sometimes they're funny in the way that they make fun of logic by making something that isn't logic to extremely logical (like connecting bread w/ butter on with a cat making them spin around til' the end of time), an dwhen they're offensive, it's just a joke, or it is true and can't be anything else then accepted.

Why do people hate memes so much? Many of them are simply funny or so honest that it's funny.

Because all the memes around are for normies.

Nah it is the steamlining of a written joke. As in a picture with a punchline.

I never said that was a meme, I said it was a joke... but if it suffered the same fake as a meme. The punchline and purpose is merely lost over repeating the same old boring joke again and again, till it's not funny, yet still continues.

"Meme" was originally created by Richard Dawkins, the evolutionist, from his book "The Selfish Gene" (1976). It comes from the word 'to mimic'.

The original idea behind it was to prove evolution will copy itself repeatively and the strongest/best will survive. It however proves the other way around, copies will corrupt themselves into a mess, where the worst tend to survive.

It's de-evolution at it's finest.

Take the meme "kappa" kids loves to spam and repeat. Do they even know why?

"Kappa" originally comes from Japanese folklore.

A Mythical creature known as a River Child. Kappa are Japanese flesh-eating water imps who live in rivers, lakes, ponds, and other watery realms. The idea behind the Kappa, is to warn children on water safety as well as a way of explaining the ♥♥♥♥/murders in which a serial killer was dumping bodies of children and woman into the river, to small children.

Basically, it's a warning to keep your distance... as a Kappa would trick it's victim near a water edge and drown them. The Kappa however also has a water bowl source on it's head, which it uses to survive out of water. When shown respect, the Kappa will honor that respect by bowing, hense spilling it's water source from it's head and not being about to continue out of water.

Aka: Show respect to strangers, but don't be mislead by them.

It was actually a child predator who started using it online, tricking groups of children into repeating the word 'Kappa, kappa, kappa' as a warning of his attack without them even knowing. Raid groups would also commonly use it, etc. Tricking the kid into trusting them, before their abuse/harassment.

So if your a kid, saying 'kappa', you might be getting tricked.

Half right. They actually use it as an emote of sarcasm that originates from a Twitch/Justintv user.

Actually I'm aware of that too.

The Kappa icon came from Josh DeSeno’s face (back when Justin.TV - a webcam streaming service was around), as he hid it as an easter egg under that word.

He was interested in Japanese folklore and Yokai:

Which leads you back yet again to a reason way people made it go viral and started using it early on just trolling kids. The root cause is still the same, it's just got his face stamped on it for others reasons.

I need to give things a purpose...

Else it would be just a fidget spinner craze or a teletubby episode of meaningless repeating pointless cycles numbing the brain from any logic. There's nothing really wrong with that, but doing it day after day after day, seems a bit...

Wow, I just noticed the date stamp. Dang memes, will they never die! Who necroed? (insert necro meme here, which will logically de-evolve to some type of necrophilia joke and overused to the point of mere shock value)

True, god I hate fidget spinners, I wish that thread was still active for my rants lol.
But everything is always going to have all types of people chipping in, yes some people made hitler pepes but that doesnt make pepe a hate thing on jews, blame the creator not the creation.

But that's the main issue with memes, there's multiple creators. It's only a matter of time before one applies negative values to it.

Most take a kids show, as the meme will be mostly focuses towards young kids.

For example: Lazy town

One then jokes and mocks about the guys terminal illness of cancer for a shock value reaction.

Another branches off into the pedo side, attempting to encourage underage sex of young girls (I kidd you not - Cooking by the Book was a grooming tool for those seeking to take advantage of young girls).

These will repeat and branch out, till the root causes are clouded.

But why does that matter? There is always going to be the bad creators but the original creation shouldnt be blamed, I would understand if the majority were hate speech but I dont believe this is the case.

Come on the lazy town wasnt making fun of robbie rotten at all, lazy town has always been a meme "You are a pirate!", Hell even if it was laughing at him (which it wasnt) it helped him a lot with his cancer treatment an arguably save his life (Like the hugh mungas meme), the actor has stated how much he loved the memes and actually joined in it himself.

When they do a meme about a gorilla's death as a joke, then repeatively do more after the zoo asks them please stop this disrepect. I think you get the point... dank memes are so funny, nah there's nothing remotely funny about it, it's merely trying to get a certain group to be triggered and laughing at that. That's the main purpose. One group doesn't care, while the other group is affected by it. Edgy kids become addicted to this as it's a form of attention towards them (positive or negative attention doesn't matter).

Some people might try put a good spin, others a negative spin. The point is just craving of attention. Hense the topics of memes and sharing of them, collecting, recreating, etc.

Humour is highly subjecive so saying whats fun or not is a bit pointless, I can see where you are coming from with harambr however.

No pepe is bad lol.

Pepe the Frog - is used as a hate symbol, attempting to encourage young kids into racism. Didn't always use to be, the that's where the meme de-evolved into.

In 2005, artist Matt Furie created the comic series Boy’s Club, which stars the teenage monster characters Pepe, Brett, Andy and Landwolf.

In early 2008, a comic in which Pepe pulls his pants down to his ankles in order to urinate was popularized on 4chan’s /b/, (random) board, along with the expression “Feels good man.”

The root cause of the meme here was teaching young kids to get out their penis for masturbation.

Alternate iterations of Pepe, including sad, smug and angry Pepes, followed.

The de-evolution of it was due to smear campaigns of politics and the president. Claiming Trump did 9/11, etc. Hate groups got a hold of it and started using it to re-educate kids too.

In 2016, the meme de-evolved and was however entered into the Anti-Defamation League (ADL database) as an anti-semitic hate symbol:
https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/pepe-the-frog

In some instances, Pepe wears a Hitler mustache, and his signature message is replaced with "K*** Jews Man." In others, Pepe poses in front of a burning World Trade Center, dressed like an Orthodox Jewish person with a yarmulke and payot. Or wearing a Nazi soldier's uniform and in a KKK hood and robe, etc.

This is why I hate meme (specially so-called dank memes) - I read into a purpose and meaning for them. Even if they seem pointless, I tend to dig deep as there's always a real reason. To me, quite a few memes are just tricky of kids to make a negative message go viral. Well at least they can be easily used and controlled that way, as the kids don't even consider it having a purpose.

So you are into the meme jihad wars then?
