In the 21st century, the pretentious designation "a man of culture" is rarely used without irony. Who would requite himself such a lofty title? But that'south what makes the latest pop meme, "I see you're a homo of culture" and so damn funny.
The meme uses a screengrab of Concluding Samurai, the samurai hairdresser from the 2010 animeArakawa Under the Bridge. He meets someone who favors the traditional topknot hairstyle and says "Ah, I see you're a man of culture besides."
That sincerity is completely missing from the meme, though, specially the variations that dominated Reddit'south r/dankmemes in early 2017. At its best, the dank memes subreddit is a fertile incubator of original content. At its worst, it devolves into a watered-down version of 4chan culture, going then deep on "ironic" jokes about Nazism, pedophilia, school shootings, and suicidal thoughts that it threatens to come out the other side and straightforwardly glorify these things.
So, what does a "man of culture?" on r/dankmemes claim to be into? The joke is that information technology's some of the worst stuff y'all can think of. School massacre jokes have been big in that location lately, and this meme is no exception:
And here's the inevitable pedophilia version:
And the sexual proclivities just get more specific from there. This popular post from a redditor who goes past "Shrek's anus 69″—sure, why not?—gets into the very narrow world of transsexual anime porn based on children'south entertainment franchises.
Non every Human being of Civilization meme needs to be edgy, though. There's the very straightforward anti-meme version:
And the nerdy version about mechanical keyboards:
Only the best Man of Civilization memes are the ones that delete words from the explanation, totally changing the joke—of grade, some of them are on the edgy side besides:
At that place's merely then much mileage you can go out of that angle—"ah" is well-nigh the most minimal version possible—but the meme itself is virtually infinite. Practically everything in the world tin either exist considered good taste or bad taste, and both of them work here.
On the other mitt, information technology could merely be co-opted by the alt-correct, the white nationalist motion that has a lot of overlap with 4chan, and never reach its full potential.
Ah well, they tin can't all exist winners.
