    It’s a meme because it’s an iconic moment.

    It’s not a person. That’s the whole point of memes.

    Sorry to school you in this, but one again, you are wrong.

      I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.

        Double down all you like. It’s the moment. Enjoy being wrong, brittle, little, sis, white male.

          It kinda seems like you might be the brittle one here.

            And that’s pretty much the ancient schoolyard taunt, “I know you are but what am I?” Pretty sure we’re done here.

          Please explain what is offensive about mocking George W. Bush on 9/11. Why does that hurt you? All you can say is 9/11 made you an orphan. That sucks, but it doesn’t explain why you find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 when he did something extremely stupid and unhelpful is offensive to you. What he did (or rather didn’t do) is the thing that should be offensive to you.

            I’ve already said this elsewhere but memes are not associated with the person, they are associated with the moment, concept, idea.

            Fuck George Bush — he’s a fucking mass murderer.

              Please present evidence that memes are not associated with the person. This sounds like something you just made up.

                    Evidence:

                    The vast majority of memes are related to niche personalities or even non-famous people or animals…

                    And even those that are related to someone recognizable… it’s never someone learning about the deaths of 3000 people …
