minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up41arrow-down2·11 months agoI think that OP’s sentiment is more against gatekeeping what a meme is. Like if this is a meme, than political cartoons are too
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down7·11 months agoWell, defining words narrowly is pretty much the definition of gatekeeping. I hope you’re not gatekeeping what gatekeeping means?
minus-squaredabster291@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down1·edit-211 months agoYou aren’t a real gatekeeper if you haven’t gatekept gatekeeping before
minus-squaredrphungky@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoAh yes, no true gatekeeper.
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down3·11 months agoBut who decides what the proper definition is? Your proper definition is for me a narrow if it doesn’t take into account the common usage. The definition of meme is widening. Cope with it.

minus-square𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·11 months agoI love the origin of it. https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/the-origin-of-the-word-meme/
minus-squareGormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoNot only is it a great origin, that’s a fantastic article on it Thank you so much for sharing
minus-squareEmpathicVagrant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·11 months agoLiterally all the things here including comments are memes.
minus-squareGormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoCorrect So basically what I’m saying is that there’s a lot of people gatekeeping what a meme is without understanding what a meme is Or if they’re referring to the first of the definitions in the screenshot I shared, not understanding that different people can find things humorous The biggest meme of all is our spoken languages
