But the article is named "you're doing it wrong", not "we're doing it wrong". I know enough people who would not fall in this trap. Maybe I misinterpreted the tone, but I think it has a slight air of arrogance -- but apart from that it's a fine article.
- chucksmash 9y ago"You're doing it wrong" was a pretty common meme in 2011, I wouldn't take too much from it being the title of the piece other than the author was trying to be playful.
- meuk 9y agoAh, true, I didn't pick up on that. Maybe I did take the tone too seriously.
- vanderZwan 9y agoWell, historical context is easy to lose, especially with internet memes. I recently came across an older article[0] with this sentence in the middle: > (The Imgur previously featured in this story doesn’t credit him at all, which is some bogus, Fat Jew-style shit.) Being unaware that "Fat Jew" was the handle of someone who got internet famous but was caught stealing other people's jokes, I was really puzzled for a second what could have warranted that random anti-Semitic statement.
