"R U TRIGGERED" and all its subvariants were radioactive toxic waste and turned a valid and important psychological concept into bullying vector that for a time had nearly universal acceptance.
I still see vestiges of "le epic bacon" out there but it's mostly confined to aging :grillman: types and some :up-yours-woke-moralists: cultists and a few contrarian carninist edgelords that want to "trigger the vegans." Yes I know all of the above have a lot of overlap.
Milhouse isn't a meme
:the-more-you-know:
He isn't? I thought he was a proto-meme. :edgeworth-shrug:
Milhouse not being a meme is a meme. Milhouse isn't
I guess I should explain more cause this is internet ancient. In the eara you would maybe call proto meme, which I'd say is earlier hamster dance Era stuff, this is like, mid to late 2000s Chan boards before they got way outta control/culture was closer to the chan board values and the 2nd meme wave included a lot of milhouse content but milhouse was explicitly NOT a meme because well...it's milhouse and that tracks with the character.
