There are three kinds of meme:
1. Genuinely insightful/funny
2. Meme as an opinion/argument
3. Bullying meme
I'm ok with 1.
I'm not ok with 3, but can see that it's unavoidable and invariably popular in less, let's call it, "educated" populations. An "educated" netizen not personally affected by the topic of bullying can typically simply choose to ignore these and move on.
The worst on that list for me is 2. "Argument by meme", as well as "argument by comic" or "argument by videoclip" depicting contrived scenarios as fact seems to be extremely popular these days, and is one of the most insidious things on the internet.
