Isnt the whole point of meme formats to be stolen and reused in creative ways?
yes I think, but also, to capture the bits of message that are expressed in the meme, but not explicit, and to communicate the appropriately.
A meme is both the thing and the context of its use. What do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Meme format ≠ meme.
agreed. that’s the difference between stealing a joke format and a joke.
what’s the difference between stealing $20K and stealing a meme?
one is highly immoral and should get you in serious trouble, and the other is just stealing a bit of money.
When someone steals my meme
Watch me stealing the meme!
There’s no stopping me
Coz you’re having a good time, having a good time! You’re burning through the sky, yeah!
You made this?

I wish they would steal my memes. I’ll even prime the pump :
Jokes on you, I’ve stolen this meme now
