Meme - an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Memes are meant to be shared. Now take your "repost/stolen" bullshit somewhere else, we don't do that here.

Templates are a part of meme culture, empty templates, not ones that already have projections on them. For example, a picture without text is an empty template. But a picture that has text on it is a meme template that has been filled. And your own definition works against you, "often with slight variations" what variable did she change. - None, that's why it's wrong.

Oh by the way here is what I am talking about for reference

Empty Template - https://www.google.com/search?q=condescending+wonka+meme+template&tbm=isch&imgil=2dU3AOycd0F0CM%253A%253BUGMWJSoKjGDhLM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fimgflip.com%25252Fmemegenerator%25252FCreepy-Condescending-Wonka&source=iu&pf=m&fir=2dU3AOycd0F0CM%253A%252CUGMWJSoKjGDhLM%252C_&usg=__FqcrJyRqo441ENwj0wdu6PsKqik%3D&biw=1440&bih=799&ved=0ahUKEwju7aqh5t3VAhWBeCYKHTAdCo8QyjcIQA&ei=3kyVWe6GEYHxmQGwuqj4CA#imgrc=2dU3AOycd0F0CM:

Filled Template - https://www.google.com/search?biw=1440&bih=826&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=condescending+wonka&oq=condescending+wonka&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i67k1j0l2.201672.209089.0.209488.9.9.0.0.0.0.160.848.0j7.7.0....0...1.1j2.64.psy-ab..4.5.598...0i5i30k1j0i30k1.Ezm62zYLCTQ#imgrc=hHJKxApgSNiNDM:

P.S - Why the aggression? I had no ulterior motive but to do what I think is right. I just thought "Hey it's a bit scummy that unoriginality is being rewarded." I gain nothing from criticizing "her" meme.

Lol you can claim the moral high ground all you want, but your rants continue to prove your ignorance on what memes are. And no the definition did NOT say that memes HAVE to vary, only that they often do. The irony here of course is that your own sparta meme comment isn't a meme that YOU created, so why didn't you give the creator credit? Changing the bottom text doesn't change the fact that you didn't create the meme. By your definition, she could've typed one letter on this meme and it would have been original then? Lol.

Bottom line is that you're violating the TOS by making the site less enjoyable for other users. Go be a douchebag somewhere else. As I've already stated, we don't do that shit here.

The Sparta meme is a template, not a joke in itself, kind of like a knock knock joke, it's a template that you have to fill. The site itself even makes that distinction. And no if she changes a letter it's still considered plagiarism, there has to be a significant difference in the meme for it to be original, such as same picture but different text or wordplay. (I'm not going to say anything about your definition because we can define terms all day, if we don't agree on such a fundamental level, this discussion isn't going anywhere.)

But forget what we are arguing over for a sec when you say I'm violating the TOS, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? I mean I didn't enjoy it when you called my opinion bullshit, called me a douche bag, and told me to leave.

On a side note, why would the TOS have such a subjective rule? (This isn't directed at you, I'm just wondering.) For example, in this case, I just expressed my opinion, but you think that I'm making the site a worst place, both are subjective.

"(Why do I have to be the one to kill the vibe?)"

See? You even admitted it yourself. Everyone here was enjoying the meme...until you came along. Oh you didn't enjoy me calling your "opinion" bullshit? Lol. Then don't whine and complain about memes being "stolen".

It was a joke, I thought that me saying "kill the vibe" was enough to express that, but I was wrong about that so I apologize. I don't actually think someone's opinions can kill the vibe. But the rest of my opinions still stand.
0 ups, 7y
You said it and then apologized for it but then said it didn't do what you said it did and apologized for?

You're new here, huh?

Myself, I don't like reposting, and the rare times I have, I've stated so in the title or a comment. I even use my comma elipses (,,,) to signify my stupid captions are mine.
But that's just my neurosis.

Many memes here and everywhere are borrowed, comes with the territory of memeing. It's gonna happen. So why rain on the fun?

Make your own memes,
Make your own templates,
Make you own images to use for them,
Leave others to do as they will,,,

That's all I ask, just say the meme isn't yours. I'm not an angry person lol, and I'm not butthurt either, I just felt a moral obligation that this needed to be said. No ulterior motive, just my opinion.

Well you're going to have to say it a lot, because many to hit the Front Page are reposts, and older and newer members do it.

I've gotten in dicussions about it and expressed my opinion when the subject was raised (there was a hilariously ridiculous one late last year when 3 or 4 memers claimed to have been the first to REPOST a meme here that a newb just posted!!!). And there are some that make a big deal about it, much to everyone's ire. The original 123Guy (1234Guy above is one of a bunch of parodies) got kicked out in July because he took it to an extreme that only served to irritate many into wanting - and getting - him kicked out.

Ok then, this is the first time I recognized it if I don't like burglaries, should I have to try and stop the burglaries that I don't know about? No, I can only do so much as a human being, when I see something wrong I do something about it.

He also doesn't understand what a meme is apparently. Don't worry about the trolls! :)

Look, I know memes are meant to be shared, but I would say the situation is different on this site, points are rewarded for upvotes, interaction, making the first page etc. And I know that this picture didn't seem like much work, but somebody thought of the idea went to photoshop and created the picture,(memes are just like jokes, they don't seem like much work, but you are always expected to credit the original creator or at least denote that it was a repost.) don't you think that reposting shouldn't be rewarded? It's unoriginal, and she is reaping something that isn't hers. I'm not a troll, I've seen this happen on other websites, and they become stale and repetitive. This had to be said in my opinion because this type of thing leaves a statement, "Why would I wanna work hard for my status on this site, when I can just repost and watch the points roll in?"

You are spamming the same comment but here is my response - You can put your own spin on a template and that's what makes it original.
