Memes that nowadays you can't stand

[Tonberry]

PS: And that one meme where someone post themselves as a Chad and their opponent as a Wojak instead of providing proper arguments

I'm convinced that there has never ever been a single instance where the person who makes something in this template pretending to be the guy on the right, isn't actually the guy on the left.
It's the same as what happened with that Virgin vs Chad meme.
In its infancy, it just used to describe a relatively normal person vs an insanely outrageously absurdly confident person, but naturally insecure assholes got hold of it and strongarmed a relatively innocent meme into meaning "you vs me" and taking it super seriously.
Probably because they saw the word virgin and felt personally attacked.
Everyone just turns silly outrageous caricatures into strawmen to win arguments nowadays.

The original is literally "normal person vs cartoon character" level:

Uncanny Mr Incredible, amusing at first, people burned it to a crisp, especially the "Fact" ones, that all used the same disturbing fact (Hey, you know that kids can die too?) and adding billons of tiers, then they released "variants" and the entire thing got me burnt in less than a MONTH

Which means?

i was mostly referring memes that elevate individuals into pop culture and use the meme to do predatory things like onision etc

People saying "bro" to refer to someone.

yeah this annoys me as well. especially since "Bro" was a word that New Zealanders have been using forever, its basically local dialect. kind of like how Aussies say "Mate" all the time.
but only in recent years the rest of the world has adopted the Bro thing and made it super cringe!
