Leftist Memes - Or lack thereof...

This is now a forced leftie meme, apparently.

The, uh, "joke" is that Hatsune Miku made Minecraft because Notch doesn't like genital mutilation or something.

Follow up to this post, but somebody did an interview with the creator of this meme.

Worth prefacing is that it's quite an overstatement to call it a "meme," honestly. It's more of a personal inside joke, if you can even call it that, since there's only a few examples of this which I'm pretty sure are all created by the same person...which I suppose is more in the category of a "forced meme," but now that's just splitting hairs. The point is that this is even less of a widespread joke than Gritty was, and Gritty was already an obscure and unfunny attempt at counter-culture.

At the very least, this article was informative for two reasons. The first was that it confirmed what I theorized were the original statements from Notch that people considered "transphobic." That's not a good thing, since my original "theory" was actually a joke, being that he probably made some offhand comment that SRS is a dangerous surgery. Not only was his statement that mundane, he was also softballing his opinion on it. But I guess that's enough to unperson him.

The second reason why this is informative is that it gives a little insight into this meme's creator. Needless to say, they're exactly as you probably envisioned them.

As an aside, the article itself enjoyable if you like flowery writing, gross exaggeration, and blatant lies. For example, the meme creator's e-books focusing on Miku becoming a "beacon" for the LGBT community as a whole:
Adri was drawn in with the recent waves of LGBTQIA+ fans, ironically through a 2017 song she calls an “obituary” for the production community. In her everyday life, she’s an 18-year-old lesbian college student who also does PR work for Studio Élan, a lesbian game studio. She’s mostly known, though, as the “PR agent” for MikuMiku_Ebooks. (She runs it.)

Adri made the Miku Ebooks account in March 2018, modeled after similar “ebooks” accounts, which post absurdist humor and memes based around a character, person or franchise. With Adri’s sharp wit and Miku’s appeal, the account quickly spiraled into popularity.

For reference, I tried specifically searching for these ebooks which are supposedly the beacon of light guiding the LGBT community through the darkness or whatever. All I could find among the unrelated links was just this very article mentioning it. So, make of that what you will.

It goes on to reveal more...concerning facets of the meme creator's personality. Such as an (already apparent) unhealthy obsession with Miku, and an impotent, blind hatred of Notch on a personal level. Given their narrow range of interests, I suppose it was only a matter of time for them to combine the two:
In the past two years, the Western Vocaloid has started to breathe life back into itself. And the charge has been largely led by queer creators and fans, especially as internet denizens become increasingly comfortable expressing sexual and gender identities.

Adri was drawn in with the recent waves of LGBTQIA+ fans, ironically through a 2017 song she calls an “obituary” for the production community. In her everyday life, she’s an 18-year-old lesbian college student who also does PR work for Studio Élan, a lesbian game studio. She’s mostly known, though, as the “PR agent” for MikuMiku_Ebooks. (She runs it.)

“I thought it was stupid and funny,” she recalled. (She later re-emphasized that her philosophy on Miku Ebooks humor is “stupid and funny.”) “Miku is God. She can do anything. Why can’t she erase a racist transphobe from history?

She points to a philosophy she found on YouTube by CGP Grey, recalling that “anger is an extremely viral emotion.” The anger from those who witnessed Persson’s transphobia, including Adri herself, was a driving force in the moment.

To Adri, especially, Miku Hatsune continues to be a role model for personal growth, creative or otherwise.

Out of all the fluff this article is composed of, this already portrays the stereotypical "MtF transgender who just wants to become the cutie anime girl" persona that you've probably seen at least a few hundred times already. However, the creator was nice enough to confirm it within a single, choice quote:
“I know of one girl who, as a teenager, looked up to the charming and adorable Hatsune Miku as the epitome of what a girl should be – or could be,” she giddily shares. “That girl’s 6 months on HRT now! Me. It’s me. That girl is me.”

That's so funny.

The left is so bad at meming that even the slightest attempt to start a trend is apparently surprising news.

That's a lot of words and one disgustingly long run-on sentence that just boils down to "Conservatives are dumb assholes."

These people have spent way too much time padding out 10,00 word essays on the merits of genital mutilation and not enough time around people telling them to get to the fucking point.

This spergrant is courtsey of Rafiq, a distinguished left-autist who makes even the most hardcore Hegelfags look reasonable. To be specific, it's an excerpt from an infamous rant of his, the "dogpill", his dissertation-length answer to the question "Would pet ownership be feasible under communism?"

The guy would be worthy of lolcow status if he wasn't extremely boring.

Like many lefty memes, this wall of text is so loaded with words and subtext that only a few people are going to fully understand. At best, it overloads everyone else. My interpretation of the piece is this: only a few titles get most of the attention, that's not fair, and nobody is innocent.

I see two possible ideals being implied here. 1: Widespread awareness of every entertainment release when the market is more saturated than ever. 2: Most people fragmenting into their own niches. There are also two fundamental problems with that. 1: We all have a finite amount of attention, and near infinite thing that could have it. 2: Most people don't want to work for their entertainment.

Their particular examples don't make a strong case either. Goose game has a very wide range of appeal, stands out among hundreds of indie metroidvanias and rougelikes, and there can only really be one 'goose game'. Kentucky Route Zero is also a relatively popular game in it's genre, especially with critics. That genre has existed for decades, and has always only had niche appeal.

I almost have to ask where you found this. This seems like a parody.
