About

Expanding Brain is a meme in which a series of images compare the brain size of a person relative to a certain factor. Though the expanding brain is usually implied to showcase intellectual superiority over various objects, it is more often used in an ironic sense to imply the opposite, where objects of derision are implied to be of higher standard than other objects. For example, when used with Whomst, a person who uses “who” will be shown with the smallest brain, while a person who uses the most ridiculous variation, i.e. “whomst’d’ve”, will be shown with the largest brain.

Origin

This meme originated as part of the “Whomst” meme where the left column was derivations of the word “Who” were paired with increasingly elaborate pictures of brains depending on how intense the “who” variation was. One of the most popular early examples was posted to /r/dankmemes on January 31st, 2017 by janskishimanski[1] in a post that gained nearly 1,200 upvotes.



Spread

As “whomst” variations on the Expanding Brain template grew more elaborate, other subjects were applied to Expanding Brain, such as video games and politics. Expanding Brain variations continued appearing on /r/dankmemes and /r/MemeEconomy throughout the month of February.

“Where are the boys” is a meme started by Ravenoil on the Wynncraft forums, a user who joined just before the meme began. He went around creating threads with the only content being a single post, “Where are the boys?” This led to hounding by the Wynncraft shoutbox, leading to all his posts getting deleted. He then tried to cover up on the fact that he was a thread spammer, but failed miserably. He know lives in scorn and has been long since hated.

Origin

On 26th January 2015, a gentleman named Alexander Robertson posted a selfie of them drinking Greene King IPA in the group “UK Simpsons II”. He requested for good Simpsons episodes to watch whilst intoxicated, or as he referred to it as “absolutely wasted”. Initially, he was received with backlash and ‘roasting’, with members mocking him for his physical appearance and lifestyle, however the original thread (now deleted) did become calmer and made more obscure Simpsons references with him photoshopped in.

After the initial thread was finished, many others cropped up including more Simpsons references & photo edits. The popularity of Absolutely Wasted skyrocketed in the following months, with an influx of additional members thanks to a BuzzFeed article created on it, although it did see the ‘creator’ leave the group due to bullying from new members.

Overall, the past two years that this meme has been in existence, it has drawn mainly positive reactions from the originator and from other related posts and has been one of the most recognisable memes in the group and was voted as the 4th most popular meme of 2016, and most popular in 2015.

There are only 2 genders

About

There are only 2 genders is a true concept where

Male and female. There is a penchant in left-leaning academia to distinguish between gender and sex, but the distinction is sophistry. Sex refers to biological differences between men and women, and gender refers to cultural or social differences rooted in biology between men and women.
The promotion of the idea of multiple genders is part of a larger, liberal project to engage the chaos and destruction of anarchy. The insistence that there are more than two genders prioritizes feelings over facts. The simple fact that some people feel confused over their identities doesn’t change the fact that there are only two genders, any more than the existence of people born with out legs or who have had legs amputated proves that humans are not bipedal.

Lolicons are Pedophiles

About


Lolicons are Pedophiles is a phrase used by normies describing lolicons as a pedophiles. Japanese term meaning ’lolita complex. The term typically refers to pornographic art, anime or otherwise, of females aged between 12 and 16, and also to those people attracted to such girls. However, real child pornography is sometimes called lolicon.
Art of underaged girls is legal in most countries, which explains the popularity of lolicon. Despite the fact that the age bracket is technically outside the realm of pedophilia, lolicon is frowned apon, especially in the west.

Manga collector Christopher Handley was sentenced to 6 months in prison, after importing lolicon yaoi manga from Japan that the federal government deemed obscene and prosecuted under the PROTECT Act of 2003, which states that any obscene illustrations, sculptures, computer-generated pictures or other imagery that depicts minors in sexual situations will be treated no differently from actual video recordings of child sexual abuse.
Handley plead guilty to the charges of “possession of obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children” as part of a plea deal with the government; he could have faced as many as 15 years in prison without it.[1]

If You're Cold, They're Cold

About

“If You’re Cold They’re Cold, Bring Them Inside” is a catchphrase pleading pet owners to bring their pets indoor during winter months. While originally intended as a public service announcement in advocacy of animal rights, the phrase soon became a popular subject of image macro parodies featuring animals that are not traditionally regarded as pets, as well as inanimate objects.

Origin

The first usage of the phrase “If You Are Cold They Are Cold” appears to have been from the Facebook page LoveAllAnimalsForever[1]. While the image (shown below) is no longer present on the page, it was likely posted around January 2013. The image advocates for bringing animals inside during cold temperatures.




This image was later posted and used on other sites advocating for pet care[2].

On January 21st 2013, the Facebook page Angelic Dog Treats posted a similar image (shown below) with the phrase “If it’s too cold for you it’s too cold for your pet. Bring them inside.”[4]




Spread

On February 12th 2015, a blogger on the farm site Progressive Cattle made a post about the meme[5]. While they found one instance of the meme humorous (seen below), they also felt that it “might appear to a consumer as dismissive of animal needs.” and talked about the relationship between ranchers and the public perceptions of what they do.




On January 27th 2016, the site RichWatch made a post explaining that many animals are fine in snowy conditions[6].
