Does the title qualify this as a meme since it's now recontextualized? Discuss, or perhaps refuse to again.

I never understood this argument. If it's wrong, it'll get down voted. If it's down voted people won't see it.

And if it's not, then people are enjoying it so shut up.

I'm seeing this post for the first time, sitting at -30. I'm seeing it and yet it's pretty heavily down voted. I'm not browsing by controversial or something like that.

Anyway, downvotes don't really work the same way to hide unpopular posts the way you're used to reddit doing. People aren't enjoying it and are in fact still seeing it, so maybe just check yourself before getting hostile.
