1. On the authenticity scale, meme language is at the very bottom. Anything is an improvement. 2. I didn't tell them what to say, only what not to say. Putting words into their mouth might have been inauthentic, but that's not happening here. 3. Just because people are "behaving the way they are", doesn't make it authentic. In case you haven't realized, we live in a world filled with constant sophisticated attempts at mass behavior modification. We are all victims from time to time, and behooves us to at least be introspective and aware of when we are. (not that meme language is a part of that, it's more an accidental artifact of networked humanity, but point generally applies). 4. Using memes is a rhetorical crutch for lazy writing.
