    It’s offensive (for me) to consider the “nobody:” posts memes.

    Likewise, expressions are not memes either.

    I will gatekeep this, and if you think that’s wrong, just think of it like I’m making gatekeeping a meme.

      It’s ok to have an opinion, even when you’re objectively wrong. A meme is just ‘a unit of cultural transmission’, and image macros and funny pictures are all memes, just like phrases or dances are as well.
