Still not a meme.
You're still absolutely without a doubt 100% wrong.
And even if you weren't, it wouldn't be a worthy use of your time and effort to point it out.
That's funny, my comment got removed when I told someone to touch grass.
You probably used it wrong, then 🤷
I've never known a way to use it that was "correct".
Either way there are opinions on both sides of the matter as far as the community is concerned and there needs to be a discussion instead of instant "you're wrong"s going thrown around because both views have merit.
And yes that starts with my own comment. Frustration leads to poor decisions.
Three, actually: there are people who know what a meme is, people who don't know but don't care enough to want to want to force their mistaken pet definition on others, and then there's your side.
There really doesn't, no.
things not being memes is in itself a meme

I'm with you buddy... We'll never win this battle but at least we can die honestly.
I got you
Omg I love this energy.
Or at least I did back when I was alive, just before seeing this actually, wow, what a coincidence! 🤔
Excellent.
Saying "memes aren't memes" is a meme in itself.
I'll share it again with a tiny modification, thus by definition being a meme, and thus making your comment devoid of meaning. I'm just that petty.
But even if I didn't, this does fit the modern definition of meme.
Do it then.
Enjoy. It is a meme.
Pretty spicy meme at that
You know that a meme is broader than an image macro, right?
Yeah but this isn't a fucking image macro or a meme.
Not an image macro, agreed.
“Creepy, possibly haunted doll” is definitely a meme though.
Congratulations, you're the "Hur dur, everyfing is a meme" poster. Let's just get rid of all the communities and dump everything into one big dumpster fire.
