who said they weren’t obvious? it’s called framing. applying a political lense to a fictional character’s traits and coming to a conclusion within the political framework.

literally no one is saying these observations haven’t been picked up on or that the character is meant to be liked.

no hate to you individally but, as a pattern, these anti-intellectual comments do make me sad. it’s like picking up simone de beauvoir and saying “duh i already knew women were historically oppressed.” the point isn’t already knowing. it’s about intellectual growth from the process of analysis, the meaning generated from the uniquely human application of knowledge. :)

That's fair. I do get annoyed at other comments like "if you didn't figure out how to resolve the Paradox of Tolerance the first time you saw it, you're fascist". It doesn't leave room for people to grow.

ugh you’re so right and what an excellent example too

Framing this as a meme implies there's supposed to be some sort of irony here.

The font, wording, and random minion and Steve are the ironic bits. It's like reading real analysis as a shit post 😱

i think you have an unrealistically restrictive definition of meme for some reason haha

Me.

I'm too old, I don't get all the memes. The culture is different now and my definition of it was shaped by my experiences not well, what a meme really technically is. Or is for other people.

Eta: plz help me understand the youths
