While that is often the case, the potato head meme has been everywhere, including most normie social media, for weeks. One of the biggest shows airing right now (low bar) and its being clowned on by literally everyone. Its not a niche political backwater one, like is often the case.
There's a pretty significant gulf right now between people who keep up with pop culture and those who don't.
I'm another person who had no clue at all what this post was about. Didn't even really know they were making a live action TLoU.
And that's fine. My point wasn't "you absolutely should have heard of this its so big."
Its that it doesn't take "terminally online, never touches grass" to have done so, especially as we have had dozens of topics on it on this very forum about it prior. So him acting elitist about it was retarded.
Uh...
His whole point is that you can't expect everyone online to know all about what else was posted there before, because a LOT of people only browse forums like this very casually, and do not at all keep up with whatever others have discussed in the past.
Yes, that's why I posted numerous unrelated areas as examples. Ranging from places he has absolutely been to (here), to normie social medias, to literal real life. Multiple avenues to have heard of it, from terminally online (here) to actually touching grass.
The entire purpose being, acting smug about "not being always online on twitter, touching grass" over something this reaching is retarded. No one, including I, tried to dab on someone just asking about it. Only the one acting superior for having not.
Oddly enough, none of the normies I know are talking about this show.
It died once Pedro died. It is a female empowerment show and guess who's not watching it?
The only ones I've seen are doing so in mockery, I've yet to meet any positive interaction. The first season at least had middling rumble, mostly Pedro being at his peak career power.
This is exactly the attitude I just described. You are making my point for me by demonstrating it in real time.
Well considering by everywhere I meant literal humans I interact with at work have brought it up and laughed about it unprompted, its not "the same twitter feeds."
You know while touching grass it still came up. Without even being online at all!
So I think it might be the case that you yourself are too online and missed what normies are memeing about in the wild.
Yeah, I'm on the internet so much that I'm not aware of the hottest meme on the internet right now. Sure.
You know a meme isn't an internet only thing. Its a legitimate social concept that can and does exist everywhere, with people talking and sharing it in their real life.
And, as to your original point that I agree is often the case, one can be so terminally online that they miss the forest for the trees in their specific little channels (like here) with its memes that they assume that's the whole of the internet itself!
So, you yourself demonstrated the point perfectly.
I'm pretty online and also have no idea WTF you're talking about.
So its not a terminally online thing either. Glad we could prove it once again.
