WordArt Image Macros refers to a style of image macro in which an image is overlaid with text taken from the Microsoft Word program WordArt to create a shitpost. The style originated on Weird Facebook pages before spreading to other social media sites.
While it’s unclear where exactly WordArt Image Macros began, The Daily Dot[1] notes in an article on Weird Facebook that the style resembles Big Dog teeshirt parodies which were posted on the Something Awful forums in the mid-2000s (example shown below).
Early posters of the style on Weird Facebook include pages ‘Not Only Do We,’ ‘I play KORN to my DMT plants, smoke blunts all day & do sex stuff’ and now-defunct pages ’Gangster Popeye’ and ‘Cabbage Cat.’ These began appearing in the mid-2010s (‘Gangster Popeye’ example shown below).
The style soon spread to other Facebook pages and subreddits, particularly after Facebook censored‘Gangster Popeye’ and ‘Cabbage Cat’ for posts in the style, which the administrators of ‘Gangster Popeye’ supposed was because of their image’s satire against racism and white people.
On April 13th, 2016, the subreddit /r/THE_PACK[2] launched, wherein users post WordArt image macros. The subreddit has gained over 59,000 subscribers as of January 26th, 2018. Other communities based on the style include the Facebook pages ‘LAZERBOYZ’[3] and ‘Da Share Z0ne,’[4] and the Instagram account craigstwistedbrain.[5]

He created his YouTube channel on August 25, 2015,[1] with his earliest visible uploaded on January 24, 2015. The video consists of a nonsensical guide on becoming an otaku. He later made his Twitter and DeviantArt accounts on February 2016.[2][3] His most popular video is a simplification of the the popular online game Overwatch, with over 1.87 million views (as of late January 2018).

TriHard is one of the most popular emotes on Twitch. Emote shows excited face of speedrunner Trihex. Considered being controversial. Being used in the same fashion as KKona, MingLee and Anele.
In the summer of 2012 Trihex took a photo with a cute girl on anime convention(shown below). At this moment he was very excited, because he just got his Dragon Ball Z wallscroll autographed. This is how image from emote was born. His facial expression became a meme on his channel, but it became a global emotes later this year.
At this time Twitch had only 20 global emotes avaliable. Twitch staff wanted to add more, so they asked community for suggestions. Trihex followers suggested this emote in a thread on twitch forums. Some days later Twitch admin entered Trihex stream. Speedrunner wanted to flaunt his abilities and decided to play through the hardest Yoshi island level.
Trihex put “be out guest” music from Beauty and the Beast animated film. And said “let’s go Twitch staff, it’s time fo fuck it up”. Speedrunned pounded buttons on his controller furiously with concentrated look on his face, like if his life depended on this very moment. Twitch admin took notes and asked “why you trying so hard?”. Staff member came with the name. So emote became global and first part of saga ends here.
It wasn’t very popular until audience of ex Twitch streamer Ice Poseidon became to use it. Over 38 millions uses of Trihard were registred on Ice Poseidon’s channel, which is more than on any other stream, and it was over 20% of total Trihard use. His followers pranked him using that emote and later Ice Poseidon had custom made fiat with trihards painted around.
Somewhere around this time Trihard got multiple meanings. While some expressed the feel of amazement with this emote, others responded with an emote when they saw black person. Sometimes it’s being used when viewers see black culture or when someone does something which coincides with racial stereotypes of black people, just like KKona used for something white/country, MingLee for something asian and Anele for something islamic.
On 2016th twitchcon Trihard emote was discussed at diversity panel. Streamer DJ knight expressed his annoyance towards the use the emote. Some channels decided to completely block the use of emote. The popularizer of the emote, Ice Poseidon, was permanently banned from Twitch on 27 April 2017 for revealing his location at the airport, which resulted in fake bomb call and interrogation by FBI.

You’re a lone ferrox driving, you’re a virgin, but you feel your about to get lucky. You’ve been on grindr and thought you finally met the one after talking to them for ages. They seem nice enough.. as your driving you’re imagining how amazing its gonna feel what you finally have sex. You pull up into the street, and as you’re looking for the address you see an abandoned old shack that seems to have the address so you worryingly pull into the driveway and get out of the car. You walk to the door and ring the doorbell, a pair of hands quickly grab you and knock you out. You wake up against a wall naked as you get a glimpse of someone looking through a basket labeled “fun time toys :)” you wonder what he’s gonna grab, a dildo? Tail Plug? Vibrator? The anticipation is killing you, until he pulls out a metal object. you’re upside down so you couldn’t exactly tell what it was, but you see the small holes in it and realize, it was a cheese grater! He grins and walks over.. “This is perfect for a slut like you” he says. You squeal as loud as you can before he grabs your face “Quiet you! Or Ill make this so much more painful!” You quickly pipe down. He grabs your ass and pulls it open, being a virgin your ass is extremely tight so he forces his entire fist in multiple times, you wince as your dick moves up and his arm gets forced in. He rotates his arm around through your ass. He grabs the cheese grater and right before your ass tightens up he forces the big end of the cheese grater through. You squeal loudly as your ass begins to close up on the cheese grater, you feel your skin peel as skin flakes fall through the hollow end of the cheese grater back into your ass, the cheese grater is now covered in blood your dick rises as the cheese grater goes further and further in, but before your ass closes up on it, he pulled out the grater as you cum all over your face, blood and tears covered in cum are splattered all over your face as he pulls it out more skin flakes and blood fill your ass you feel like you’re about to die and you pass out..
Thanks for listening to my story! I’ve saved this on google docs, If anyone wants it

“My father died!” is a phrase that character Ryo Asuka uses in Chapter 1 of the first volume of the Devilman manga.
After saving Akira Fudo, the main protagonist, and his friend, Miki Makimura from school thugs, Ryo drives Akira to his house in his father’s car to show him something. When Akira asks if something is wrong, Ryo stays silent and calm before randomly shouting the phrase “My father died!”. Akira reacts in shock, to wich Ryo says “Because of that, I live totally alone. He was my only family.”
In the 1987 OVA, “Devilman: The Birth”, a similar situation happens, with Ryo saying “My father is dead.” calmly, instead of screaming it.
When the Devilman manga was made available in english, many people created redraws and edits of the very page that contains the meme. While they are usually redraws, there’s the occasional one featuring different characters and text.
“Laz luz extinguido”, or The Extinct Light in english, is a kind of extreme level of “le 56% face” meme.

First appears of “Laz luz extinguido”
In the first time when the meme appears on /int/ it’s name weren’t “La luz extinguido” but “Le 0% face”when an american user said to stop atacking white americans in a commun thread in the same board. The guy was quoted with a sarcatic answer saying “can’t attack what doesn’t exist” and this was quoted with a green text “>We exist” and an image that named the new meme as “Le 0% face”.
In a few days “Le 0% face” becomes a popular image of many others (x)% face images, been used in /int/ and /pol/. After sixteen days, a guy called “Pedro del Pino” posted a video called “war of the mutts” in his youtube channel that “Le 0% face” also appears.

Finally, after a month, an annonymous user create a thread on /mlp/ about confederates americans and things about My Little Pony, then in the same thread, an user posted an image that “Le 0% face” appears as “La luz extinguido”.
