The ragetacean era was so joyful and expressive. Now it's only sad wojak. I guess memes adapt to their environmental pressures, which says a lot about our inner selves too.

Edit: I only now realize the image is also incorrectly labeled. It's a perfectly understandable mistake, anyway.
15 1 ReplyAgreed! I like what they contribute but their now extinct forebears just bring a lot more flavour - and lightheartedness, I think.
