      And? Does that make it better or worse? Personally I don’t give a shit that he is a meme guy I knew that, but he is not the right meme guy for this sort of meme IMO.

          That’s mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or imitated.
          I know the definition very well both reading and hearing Richard Dawkins who coined and defined the term, explaining what a meme really is. And the idea is that memes can spread and evolve a bit like genes, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed to use the drawing u/Appoxo made.

          Edit:
          Funny why I’m downvoted for describing what a meme actually is???
          God people are either stupid or vengeful here!!

            The meaning of a meme can change separately from the image itself. That’s what makes it a recognizable concept distinct from the image in the first place.

        It’s a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

        I can’t possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.

          Except it’s not really malicious compliance, it’s just compliance.

            Its not malicious compliance to hang up on a customer in the middle of a call, or ignore other customers calling during business hours because your boss mandates you take lunch at an exact time? Whatever you say, buddy.
