I am really confused about this meme template, didn’t its usage used to be satirical (not sure if that’s the right word)? I remember seeing ones like “Nobody ever needed maths”, but recently I am seeing them inverted where the subject matter is actually criticised for being useless. Instead of claiming something useful to be useless. Can someone explain? when did the usage shift?
it’s pseudo post-satire is how i like to think about it. It’s satirical by nature, but it’s gone so far, that it’s not quite straight satire, some of the points made are genuinely accurate.
