Scientifically speaking, how did a cartoon frog take up the mind space of millions of people and become the 4chan mascot?

>> No.12060553

because everyone on this site is autistic and seeing things repeatedly=funny and comfortable to the autistic brain

That raises the scientific question of how one website managed to attract millions of autistic people...

the origin of the Pepe meme relates to an early comic where Pepe is seen urinating standing up with his pants all the way down and when asked why he says “feels good man”. it is the kind of joke that appeals to a teenage boy’s recollection of his toddler days learning how to be an adult but doing a silly little boy thing. therefore it taps into a juvenile boy combination of humor and nostalgia. it’s also a pee/penis joke. so this really appeals to the core of 4chan “users” because it is a trifecta of juvenile manboy humor

Sorry bub, but you posted this on the wrong board. You can say "scientifically speaking" or "scientific reason" all you want, but at the end of the day, your low effort thread will be pruned. So why don't you take this time to reflect on your actions? Maybe while you read this, you can sit down with a warm glass of tea and think to yourself. Just imagine right now: what if you had posted this on a board more receptive to these topics? You would probably be famous. But no, instead you chose to post here, and now you are nothing. Tragic, really.

its something thats malleable. you can easily make your own form of it to suit your argument. its a tabula rasa. most memes are just 'heres a format now make your own shit'. mix that with a popular website that hadn't had any widely appealing mascots prior (no yotsuba doesn't count) and elections, you have people making their own 'my argument is good because this funny little frog supports it' combinations. you can see this repeated with the 'virgin vs chad' meme and wojack.
theres also the snowball factor, some things get popular purely because they were already popular as a byproduct of ego and social integration.

Surface level answer: Because the leftards with the media spazzed out over a meme and created a rubber band effect.

Deeper theory: Maybe the whole reason was to trick a bunch of autistic in to worshiping a ancient frog god who is said to bring chaos when awoken by a frog plague. Without realizing they too are being used as useful idiots.

He paralleled the average progression of a 4channer//b/tard when they were still relevant. In the late 00s he was the "feel good, man" guy. The unironical era. In the early 10s he became le sad lizard. And in the mid 10s, the smug ironic era was finally established.
