    Do you expect every meme to be backed up with demographic data?

    If we just go hog wild with “its just a meme” we end up with the far right. Thats a huge part of how they latched onto the social common ground for white men online.

    “It’s just a meme!” for generalizing large groups of people is shitty, particularly when it seems many believe the implied demographic level of popularity of said meme.

    Your “Lol. Get a grip.” in response to this is anti thought.
