Giving internet access to normalniggers was a mistake

Nooo not gigachad

NOOOO NOT MY HECKIN MEMERINO

Gigachad always seemed a little bit too much like advertising to me. It's funny when you pair him with something absurd, but mostly what I see is just people attaching the image to their opinions in a post-ironic sense.

This is why Pepe is one of the best memes, he is intrinsically ugly and weird which is a massive barrier to npc appropriation, you have to consciously associate yourself with being a loser, even if only in playful self-deprecation. It was amusing when some shill org made Biden Pepe memes and turned him into a green chadface, utterly missing the point.

>>17873677
Actually what happens is a 4channer or a Reddit poacher gets assigned as the lackey who runs the PR twitter account. So they market towards zoomers to build a "lifelong" customer base. Naturally they use the latest memes and tiktoks to lure children in to buying their brand or becoming brand loyal.
>Woah Autozone knows about Gigachad!? I HAVE to shop there for my auto needs! They are much more based than that dumb virgin O'Reilly's or the chudcel Advanced Auto Parts
Admit it, something akin to this briefly flashed through your mind.

R*ddit is no longer in the loops since it became a full-on propaganda arm. It's just 4chan -> Twitter

>>17873710
Kek I remember Green Biden. So obviously a shill op, the memes where he put Trump voters into GULAGs and day of the roped them were still kinda funny though.

>>17873667
Bros...it's fake!
Why would someone fake this?

I somewhat disagree with your phenominal distinction i think there is an essential aspect of absurdity in gigachads perfection. i remember when it was new and asking if this was a real human being or a 3d model. there is still an essential quality of over perfection that prevents it from being normalized and keeps it essentially absurdist. even when there is sincerity in that absurdness. its just to the other extreme of pepe.

Well the function of memes to begin with is to get people to cope with current society, so it's not really surprising that it gets apprioriated by capital.

>>17873726
nah, i disagree, always felt synthetic to me. they used jojoaesthetic and very “out” memes.

>>17873667
Glad it's finally happening. Gigachad was never funny and it is as if it was created with the explicit purpose of shilling and making certain opinions more common.

>>17873737
Pepe is a hate symbol used by white supremacists. If they can't appropriate it they cancel it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog

Apu > Pepe

They were funny, but they would have been 10 times funnier if Biden were shown as the bumbling slide into dementia he is in reality, but they are obviously not allowed to notice or say that. Having this guy who is literally falling apart and clueless gulaging people is intrinsically funnier than some stock chad caricature, because it subverts the inevitable criticism of him, 'so what if he's senile, he can still gulag you'. If you lie outright about what he is then it just comes off as weak regime propaganda vulnerable to anyone who points out the truth.

That's now how memes work retard. You don't make _your guy_ look bad. But their aesthetic was all fucked anyway because you need sincerity to meme

>>17873763
Why is his nose nearly flat? What ethnicity is he?

because corporations notice the kind of memes normalcattle uses on twatter and tries to fit in

>>17873737
The main barrier to gigachad normalization is that he is hypermasculine to the point that his mere appearance somehow makes you think about patriarchy. But despite feminist socialization people still basically are instinctively admiring of very masculine men so it's not that powerful a barrier.

normies are well acquainted with absurd overstatement, it doesn't stop them. the doge meme of the gigachad doge vs the weak doge is a normie favorite along similar lines

He always looked like a deformed monster

>>17873768
>That's now how memes work retard. You don't make _your guy_ look bad
yes it is you just, like you said have to make it
> sincere
you just your “bad” look flippent. like how people hooked on to trumpo’s impropriety and shit.

Once a meme leaps from 4chan to another platform, it is dead.

>>17873768
memes have to be honest to work properly. pro-Trump memes didn't hide the fact that he is crude, vulgar, and speaks like a 10 year old. They took his most ludicrous statements and facial expressions and subverted the expectation of scorn

>>17873747
absolute retard
the point of the gigachad meme which originated among incels on r9k was to show how what makes things "cool" is the looks of the person performing a certain action or expressing a certain opinion and not the action/opinion in itself

>>17873786
yes, but i wouldconsider that an offshoot. of course there are levels of normalization, doge is inoffensive enough for walmart too use, whil gc, like you said, in himself, is the personification of physiognomy.

It’s funny how many incel memes have been picked up by the mainstream. Chad, blackpill, white girls fuck dogs, etc

>>17873768
are you some boomer retard?
no that's literally one of the main points of memes is that you make the weak point of something it's strong point
it's like when some faggot posts a smug pepe who shits in his pants or on wojak

>>17873710
I found green Biden meme were funny because I interpreted them as purely ironic, they weren't made by Biden supporter, but only to make /pol/ seethe

>>17873823
Saving that pic, what's the story?

>>17873823
Well I don't care about whatever anime and videogames containment shitholes you browse, so excuse me for not knowing the origins of this meme.
I still do not see how what you said contradicts in any way what I posted, 'as if' does not mean I think the meme was made with the purpose of shilling, but it does lend itself well to be used that way.

>Pepe is one of the best memes, he is intrinsically ugly and weird which is a massive barrier to npc appropriation
Anon, Pepe has been appropriated by twitch ages ago

normie use of pepe always carries at least a small hint of dissension, you literally cannot use the meme in the npc manner of 'must believe thing because high status'. Even when Niki Minaj posted a pepe she was shitting on herself, she was mocking her own softcore pornography and attention whoring

>>17873833
It was the last online community that put out consistent original content for ages. That level of creative productivity reminded me of 00's internet, before everything got homogenized.

Doesn't mean you portray Biden as a bumbling retard sliding into dementia. It's like making Trump memes where he's obese. That's now it works

>>17873866
because the point of the meme is literally
>[insert retarded opinion/action]
>but it's gigachad doing it so it's cool
not about shilling something

>>17873906
The "pajeet" is an Israeli.

>>17873937
>It's like making Trump memes where he's obese. >That's now it works

You might have brain damage if you genuinely think that

>>17873849
no it was made by a twitter tranny and shilled on pol by a tranny discord
all true unironically, i'm not saying tranny just as a derogatory term btw

>>17873710
>he is intrinsically ugly and weird
wtf

>>17873957
You think someone who would post an image like that has a fundamental understanding of differences in physiognomies ? He’s probably a tourist from Faceberg that’s the impression I get when I see that image

>>17873937
dont worry, you will get it someday

>>17873997
No I won’t.

>>17873849
This was true of the Hilldawg memes but not the Biden ones

>>17873937
It does mean that because that's clearly what he is. If you're a Democrat it literally doesn't matter, everyone knows he's just a figurehead anyway, so the best way to turn it around on the right is to mock them by agreeing with their criticism, and then showing the object of their criticism as having power over them. You don't even have to be consistent, you can claim the next moment he isn't actually senile, it's just a way to defuse the specific attack.

Why would anyone actually care if Biden is senile? It doesn't matter, pretending it matters means you have lost the plot, which is why normiecons obsessing over every time he trips or stumbles are doing the same thing the Dems did when they went into hysterics every time Trump said something rude.

Mass propaganda doesn't work this way, it is predicated on entire networks of lies and delusions, but memes work exactly by noticing discrepancies in those narratives, pointing out little uncomfortable truths, and then reframing them.

>it was okay to make green Trump memes but not with Biden

>>17874040
no one said that.

what is your point here?

>>17874040
look at this meme and then look at the biden pepe meme

>>17874063

>>17873714
It doesn't even have to be a poacher. Plenty of people with degrees in marketing or advertising grew up using 4chan, Reddit, etc. When these people get hired by a corporation, they don't suddenly become automatons. They see the demographics of the viewers of the twitter account and think, "Hey! That's also the primary demographic of 4chan." They hop on 4chan, ctrl+v a meme, then post it on Twitter.

Also, your reddit-tier psychological analysis is profound. Please post more.
