wait a minute, i know what this ‘deteriorating meme’ is

it’s a variant of that whole ‘coaxed into a snafu thing’

you know like how there was that original troll face

and then came these

can’t forget to add this

A lot of the better jokes here are just recycled from 4chan.

But did you know these stemmed from the copyright infringement shitstorm on reddit back in 2011 as a way to continue using the concept of trollface without actually employing Trollface©?

Some internet scholars argue this was one of many tipping points that contributed to the absurdist wave of post-ironic nihilism that has developed ever since within the memeing community.
