- stephengillie 11y agoMost memegens are macros. They're free tools that allow almost anyone to quickly and easily create consistently-high quality memes that are appropriate for any situation at hand. Because it's next to impossible to get the general public to consistently use: *A good source image *All caps *Impact font *White text with a black border Indeed, it's still hard to choose this set of options with the newest versions of MSPaint. Macroing takes away opportunities for human error, which does reduce the opportunities for creative mistakes. But it makes output consistent, which is the desire here. No longer does someone have to spend a week learning about good source images, fonts, and border settings, and need Photoshop to combine them, just to make others laugh.
