seriously though, i hate hate hate the fact that this became some anecdotal joke.
i accept that it happened in netphoria, because that's just the nature of the humor here, and the discussion about it here really was hilarious. but the way this event - that is really a microcosmos for a lot of what is so wrong with the world today - turned into just another fucking meme, it's profoundly demoralizing |

Harambe is in the hyperreal now. He exists in a space in between the real and the fictive. He is the dweller on the threshold.

Another aspect is the rise of 'weird Facebook.' Used to be that memes started on corners of the internet with insular and acerbic cultures, like 4chan's /b/, Something Awful forums, or Bodybuilding Forums' 'misc' board. From there, they would diffuse out to Reddit, then Tumblr, then 9Gag, and then finally to Facebook, where they would become 'normie memes' denounced by the people who started them. These days, memes are evolving, getting danker. And Facebook is at the center of it all. Meme pages are sprouting up with irreverent and inscrutable humour, creating an additional layer of irony by juxtaposing everyday somewhat awkward and sappy Facebook posts with ironic corruptions of them. The Harambe meme is part of that. |

Your favorite Harambe memes are racist
makes the argument that the meme is built around the African-ness of the name Harambe and is essentially popular because it is an acceptable outlet for white people to mock black/African culture |

I'm not endorsing that article btw, I think it pretty much embodies everything that is wrong with the low information new moral majority college-aged left.

I'm not closed to the idea that part of what makes the meme funny to many of us is the "foreign" name, but the article is so poorly written and the argument is such a tangential mess with literally no actual information to back up the thesis... it just smacks of Bernie Bro low info nonsense.
I'm not sure if from this article I should induce that any joke involving primates is racist? or that any joke in general is likely to be racist at root because that's the only thing people actually think is funny? this is the only line where the author actually seeks to back up his main point: "Let’s get real here. Of course the African-ness of Harambe’s name (it’s a Swahili word which means “togetherness”) plays in a role in his popularity." let's get real. of course. it's self-evident! |
