Sounds like something a blue checker would say. And yes, if you pay for Twitter you’re going to clowned on.
And what the hell is that segue into fedoras? The entire meme of them is because stereotypical clueless individually took fedoras to be the pinnacle of fashion, while disregarding nearly everything else about not only their outfit, but about their bodies.
This entire comment reeks of not actually understanding anything.
The point is that Internet people are weird and have their own fads. These so-called “slurs” are meaningless. It’s just like perhaps there’s some middle-school class somewhere that’s decided that white shoes are lame. The majority of the world doesn’t care.
These fads are transitory. The people participating think the fads are important but they’re just fads. Most of them are just aping the other guy. The Internet guys think they’re having an opinion but really it’s just flock behaviour and will change.
Once upon a time everyone on the Internet hated gauges (earrings that space out the earlobe) and before that it was hipsters.
These are like the Harlem Shake. There is no meaning to it. People are just doing as others do. It’ll pass.
Found that user who memorized KnowYourMeme and thinks they're a scholar of culture now.
Or a cheap LLM acting as them, and wired up to KnowYourMeme via MCP? Can't tell these days. Hell, we're one weekend side project away from seeing "on the Internet, no one knows you are a dog" become true in a literal sense.
