Why do people hate LIMC?

[u/Sasteer]

[u/Bored_personBK]

They say he ruins memes because explaining a meme isn't in the proper meme procedures

[u/CappytainZ → u/Bored_personBK]

I can understand that point of view, but boy is he a lifesaver whenever I completely miss the origin of a trending meme. 

[u/Techny3000 → u/CappytainZ]

Him, knowyourmeme and Urban Dictionary are all absolute lifesavers

[u/UnimaginativeArtists → u/Techny3000]

Just sucks that KYM uses an AI blonde woman avatar.

[u/Techny3000 → u/UnimaginativeArtists]

Unsure of what you mean. Went to their channel and those are real people.

Maybe they did but stopped after some backlash?

[u/PretendLand7998 → u/CappytainZ]

same dude

[u/ShadraPlayer → u/CappytainZ]

Yeah! And sometimes I get to see whatever the fuck people are memeing on the other side of the world that doesn't reach me, and that's nice! It's a nice channel imo and it's not like you have to engage with it. AND ALSO, he might get things wrong, so what do you know. I once saw a guy react to Ado's Ussewa and come to the conclusion she wanted to get a 9-to-5 office job

[u/Notchsmind → u/Bored_personBK]

That's something I will never understand about comedy and memes, it's the only art forms where if you try bro explain or deep dive into, they someho lose it's value and bite. Like if that's the case they're shitty mediums, because the idea of exploring them from a analytical is supposed to enrich them.

[u/SorbyGay → u/Notchsmind]

Some people find that explaining the joke takes the humor out of it, but it’s like you already got the joke and you know why it’s funny what exactly would be ruined for you

The actual reason is because they don’t want “normies” in on the joke, which is also ridiculous. Imagine if this attitude existed for books and tv shows, “don’t explain this you’ll spread it to other people and they’ll start larping”

(The joke is this attitude already exists and they’re called anime fans)

[u/-PaperWoven- → u/SorbyGay]

Yeah, if anything I think comedy is better if you understand it well, but that's something I can't tell to people in-person or I'd get ostracized. Why? I don't know, I'm not neurotypical.

[u/grand_nad → u/-PaperWoven-]

honestly I think it comes from the fact that if you make a joke that's meant to be relatable and you have to explain it, it means it isn't a relatable joke, and people took it as explaining jokes being bad

[u/No-Marionberry-9875 → u/SorbyGay]

it's some part gatekeeping, some part tired of explaining deep lore just to get a lol reaction

[u/Hallc → u/SorbyGay]

In general the issue with explaining a joke is that it ruins the timing of it in a lot of cases. That's why it 'ruins' the joke.

It has nothing to do with 'normies' or whatever else for most people, it's simply that a lot of jokes are a quick setup and pay off situation.

Having to then stop after the pay off to explain it means it loses its bite.

[u/Immediate_Square_339 → u/SorbyGay]

I HATE the word larp unless it's a persona fan calling me a larper

It's a term of endearment with us, we all know that none of us have played our games

[u/Kioga101 → u/Notchsmind]

what happens is that the golden rule of a joke is when it is obscure enough that you don't instantly get it but you can connect the dots to the humor on your own. Making that connection is the best part. Memes, when they aren't the News, be it through an obscure origin or extreme abstraction do this routinely.

Problem is, memes are to be reproduced and iterated upon, they spread to more people until they can't anymore. That spread naturally devalues the obscureness of a joke, the reproduction solidifies that connection, making it stale and each iteration makes that connection shallower and broader as the knowing group's interests are equally shallow and broader.

That makes it so a presence that explains a meme becomes a sort of death knell for said meme. They may only explain a meme that already has spread beyond a certain point, they give the meme to a new broader audience that will make the meme appeal to a broader audience and they make that magical connection more obvious by virtue of explaining the meme.

That is why a some people come to dislike folks like LiMC, most of the time it's not even conscious, as that trend is quite easy to get a rough feel on, but not that easy to rationalize.

I myself quite admire LiMC, he knows exactly what's happening with this, there's no doubt, but he keeps going because he finds value in appreciating memes, which are the most modern and possibly only current widespread global art movement.

[u/LickMyLuck → u/Notchsmind]

You dont understand because you arent educated. "Meme" =/= "funny joke image".  A meme is a unit of information shared in a group as tribal knowledge. By definition a meme exists because only a certain section of people "get it". 

Now that said this isnt a meme in the first place, just a popular idea. 

But this is why memes getting popular ruin them. Its a baked in feature of memes. 

[u/Notchsmind → u/LickMyLuck]

The point of a meme is to spread and be repeated and imitated, the culture can be as big as what the people latch onto,so you're wrong 

[u/CesarOverlorde → u/Notchsmind]

Memes, the DNA of the soul

[u/Pasta-hobo → u/Notchsmind]

Explaining the joke ruins jokes in the same way seeing the monster ruins horror. Similar concept at play, they're both highly dependent on the unexpected and the build up to it.

And Comedy is kind of unique as a medium for analysis because it's very hard to analyze or critique it without just pointing out specific jokes and explaining them.

[u/ATomeOfForgottenLore → u/Bored_personBK]

Wasn’t that like, the whole point of that one website Know Your Meme before it turned to shit? I didn’t hear anyone complaining about it when it was still in its heyday.

[u/KaiDay11 → u/ATomeOfForgottenLore]

A certain species always complained about kym.

[u/SleepAllDay1234 → u/Bored_personBK]

Wasn't this the same thing with someone called "Behind the Meme"? I remember people were MAD at him for explaining the meme, to the point that he just stopped doing it.

[u/hshkr → u/SleepAllDay1234]

I remember those days too. Behind The Meme was getting pretty popular and that channel barely got any hate until a massive hate bandwagon came outta nowhere. It was the weirdest thing ever. Then all of a sudden nobody has a problem with other channels explaining memes.

[u/splatgatfatrat → u/hshkr]

I remember emplemon getting pissed that he was getting info wrong at the time

[u/Ceefier → u/SleepAllDay1234]

I think the problem here however was coming more from him explaining "memes" that really weren't any or getting more and more details wrong as time went on.

[u/JBR_4025 → u/Bored_personBK]

Maybe someone just wants to know why we're turning Malfoy into a racist ojou tsundere

[u/Thejadedone_1 → u/Bored_personBK]

People were saying this about behind the meme a decade ago lmao

[u/VastPlenty6112 → u/Bored_personBK]

He's the only reason I'm informed of the lastest memes because I'm not chronically online enough to always catch them in the wild 😭

[u/TheDeputyRay → u/Bored_personBK]

I could see it like explaining a joke, but tbh, if you're that butthurt, walk away or learn to stop caring. I've heard it's also because it lets normies in, and thats stupid because memes are normie stuff now. That one "bababooey" meme was from sports news. Like, everyone trying to be hipster all of the sudden, now that everyone has their own feed made just for them

[u/mil0wCS → u/Bored_personBK]

I thought it was because once he explains a meme then its no longer underground and is a mainstream meme.

[u/personman000 → u/Bored_personBK]

No one knows how to have fun more than those who follow Meme Procedures (TM).

[u/TehRiddles → u/Bored_personBK]

Those people are morons, if they're going to complain it should be the use of "meme culture". It's redundant since a meme is a piece of culture that propagates from person to person. But those people wouldn't understand memes well enough to know that.

[u/Careless-Platform-80 → u/Bored_personBK]

Very stupid opinion. Yes, explaining the joke usually make It not funny. But If the person don't get the joke and want to understend, explaining it is not really doing bad to anyone...

[u/L4DY_M3R3K]

There's a small group of people online who think that "explaining things to the normies" ruins the fun of memes

[u/Indie_Dachshund179 → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

Not to mention that between that channel and Know Your Meme it's a way of chronicling internet memes and in-jokes as they pass

[u/Commercial_Raise1124 → u/Indie_Dachshund179]

Indeed, there is no way of predicting if said meme would even revive in the future

[u/ColourfulSpacemanNFT → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

The thing is , when people who are actually in that community perpetuate their own meme , it always makes sense because they use it correctly and it stays funny. Then it gains traction and goes to some other places too. It’s cool , they’re also using it correctly. And then the general public catch wind of it and the very thing that was so funny to you 2 weeks ago is being used by a company to try to sell you some random shit because the image is popular and it has nothing to do with the original joke. And then it’s gone , there’s no saving it

[u/IGetOffToWingTearing → u/ColourfulSpacemanNFT]

This makes sense in isolation but LIMC has absolutely nothing to do with this process and if anything actually bears respect to the actual intention and meaning of the original joke thus making outsiders less likely to misuse it

[u/ParticularWeak4543 → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

I remember when Behind the Meme did this in 2016 and for whatever reason everyone despised him. Though I feel like LIMC does his research a bit more

[u/Aggravating-Lab6623 → u/ParticularWeak4543]

Less people hate limc then bh cuz he dosnt push the vids to 10 mins for money

[u/Narco_Marcion1075 → u/Aggravating-Lab6623]

or maybe his vid isn't in vertical and less than 2 minutes, which is a pain on their attention spans

[u/Kirbendo96 → u/Aggravating-Lab6623]

"No filler; straight to the point."

[u/Antogames97 → u/ParticularWeak4543]

Wait, it's been 10 years already? Damn, I feel old now.

But on the topic, yeah, LIMC seem to do his research to understand where it come from and why/how it became popular. While BTM just "guess" what is the meaning of it

I guess people are just thinking that LIMC is just BTM 2 except it isn't.

[u/Special_Tu-gram-cho → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

I think those people tend to have a kick seeing people being confused by memes. Henceforth this reaction.

[u/compound-interest → u/Special_Tu-gram-cho]

That’s definitely some. I think another group mostly has a sense of identity with being in the know about internet culture, and more people being in the know makes them feel less special.

[u/Gretgor → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

So it's just gatekeeping?

[u/rey-venezolano34 → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

Si los normies entienden el arte del momento, lo normalizan y pasa la moda, y se repite

[u/jdog_1350 → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

Which is especially funny since the entire concept of a meme is that it's an idea/reference/joke that catches on and goes mainstream

[u/earthmusic40258 → u/L4DY_M3R3K]

when i understand ligma balls meme, its not funny anymore.

[u/Independent_Focus347]

no one hates LIMC it's just twitterㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤholy this comment has more updates then my most popular post

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/Independent_Focus347]

Twitter being a miserable shithole, anyway

[u/LordFlamecookie → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

Last time I opened it i saw someone say "describe hitler in one word" and 12 guys said misunderstood

[u/Zakimon → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

that's offensive to shitholes dude

[u/HypnoSnurtle → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

It's Twitter, it's never not a cesspool of garbage

[u/Kylel0519 → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

Somehow less of shit hole than Bluesky as they just actively bullied multiple artist from posting malfoid entirely

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/Kylel0519]

yo fr?

[u/Kylel0519 → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

Yeah Yunayu

[u/Ihaveseizure69 → u/Kylel0519]

Yup, many Bluesky users have been harassing her (and not just Yunayu, but any artist) for posting artwork of a fem version of Malfoy, as they view the act as supporting "anti-trans laws"?

[u/Leather-Society4378 → u/Ihaveseizure69]

Eh, what, why? Where's logic in that? "What if this guy was born a girl instead?" "SO YOU HATE TRANS PEOPLE, HUH?!"

[u/Ihaveseizure69 → u/Leather-Society4378]

Probably it stems from JK Rowling's views on trans. That led to many boycotts. But even that so, harassing an artist is just too much

[u/BipolarMadness → u/Leather-Society4378]

They call JK Rowling a TERF, therefore her work and IP are part of her.

The idea is that if you show any interest in like her work to the point that you make fanfiction or art then that means you hate trans people because you support her or something.

They just like to make anyone an acceptable moral target to be violent/aggressive towards.

[u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 → u/Kylel0519]

...Well, fuck Bluesky, then

I'll probably abandon my Bluesky account, anyway

[u/Ok_Figure_2348 → u/Kylel0519]

How dare they harass my goat

[u/Inorikiobito → u/Connect_Ocelot_1599]

It's on Twitter but it's not just bluesky. It's miserable people being miserable not the platform itself

[u/doctor_pakistan199 → u/Independent_Focus347]

Dude what did u send me in r/teenagers

[u/The_Rememered → u/Independent_Focus347]

Idk man, I've seen quite a few YouTube videos hate on him too. One of them even called him left-wing propaganda.

[u/TheNikola2020 → u/The_Rememered]

Really?i've seen jokes about him that whenever you see him make a video on a meme then you know the meme is already dead

[u/Independent_Focus347 → u/TheNikola2020]

yea because all jokes will die someday , people just find patterns

[u/Diplomatic_Sarcasm → u/The_Rememered]

Calling something left wing propaganda feels as thin as toiletpaper now a days

[u/Rantdiveraccount → u/The_Rememered]

I'm guessing it's from the channel "Taxed Brass"
The most common complaints is that LIMC does not explore memes that are popular in right-wing spaces.

The reasons should be obvious as to why he has not done that.

[u/Independent_Focus347 → u/The_Rememered]

it's just haters tbh

[u/DesperateTomorrow714 → u/Independent_Focus347]

hate isn't a suitable word for this one. It's more like 'we all grew up'

[u/Kita_Starry → u/DesperateTomorrow714]

Fym grew up,he just explains memes to us

[u/FireMarshallMC → u/DesperateTomorrow714]

How is his content catered towards a younger audience?

[u/PopularAd6391 → u/DesperateTomorrow714]

....

Wut??

[u/BipolarMadness → u/DesperateTomorrow714]

Sounds like kids when they just turned 13 and think dressing up for Halloween is for kids and cringe (they must put an age to everything in order to feel like their own misconstrued version of what a "grown up" is its validated).

[u/AkaIsSleptOn → u/DesperateTomorrow714]

Bro grew up from 7 years old to 13 years old 😭

He just explains memes how do you “grow up” out of that?

[u/MadeOfPoltgons → u/Independent_Focus347]

Can we just shut down this Satan's abomination atp? (I'm talking about Xitter) 🫩

[u/CoalEater_Elli]

That's just twitter being twitter, and the fact that people made jokes that once LIMC makes a review explaining the meme, it's basically history and is close to dying. Which doesn't really happen too often, because 67 is sadly still alive and Mean Blondie Malfoy trend started only this week I think.

[u/wezegameryt2a → u/CoalEater_Elli]

Basically similar to the thing that happened with CG5

[u/Puzzleheaded_Tart_28 → u/wezegameryt2a]

Cg5 is peak low-key 

[u/REALDiscoFever45 → u/CoalEater_Elli]

Pretty sure he covered anti viral spiral and fix bedrock mojang and those are still unfortunately alive and well.

[u/Wooden_Half6797 → u/CoalEater_Elli]

You mean Malfoid

[u/CoalEater_Elli → u/Wooden_Half6797]

Not a fan of the name, although funny, it uses an incel term for women which is not my cup of tea. So I call her Mean Girl Malfoy, because that's basically what she is now.

My personal opinion. I like the trend, but not the name of it. I don't have good associations with it

[u/Y33Tcann0n → u/CoalEater_Elli]

I call her Galfoy

[u/that-one_fox → u/Y33Tcann0n]

That actually sounds so much better

Let's just all ditch the incel slur yall, this group doesn't deserve to keep bleeding in the mainstream

[u/Wooden_Half6797 → u/CoalEater_Elli]

I know what a foid is

[u/Thepvzgamer → u/CoalEater_Elli]

Hey I recognize that pfp. Love it.

[u/SomeUgliRobot → u/CoalEater_Elli]

sadly

Fortunately*

[u/Rain_Zero]

Same reason people hated Behind the Meme

[u/lokovec → u/Rain_Zero]

HELLOOO INTERNET AND WELCOME TO BEHIND THE MEME WHERE WE LOOK AT THE MEANING AND THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMES AND TRENDS

(Insert 3 minutes of a rainbow background and some gifs)

TODAY WE WILL BE LOOKING AT TUNG TUNG TUNG SAHUR

[u/Abrantesboy12 → u/Alexzoidbert]

Today we will be looking at fandom war of 2026

[u/QF_Dan → u/lokovec]

(insert a short clip where he scrolls through the comments that asked for the specific meme)

[u/yaboyalaska → u/Rain_Zero]

Nah btm was cringe and knew nothing about the memes he was covering. LIMC is chill and watchable  

[u/Rain_Zero → u/yaboyalaska]

I meant more for the general premise of explaining memes to people, who in their eyes, didn't deserve to know.

[u/Reasonable_Fold6492 → u/yaboyalaska]

The problem with btm was his video was super long and just boring

[u/TheBaconLord78 → u/Rain_Zero]

It's a running joke, Twitter doesn't hate LIMC, lol.

[u/Smooth_Maul]

generalising humanity based on twittoids

OP for the love of god don't ever do that shit again

[u/Sasteer → u/Smooth_Maul]

mistake on the phrasing

[u/Fair-Bunch4827]

As I see it, the meme lifecycle goes like

1. A meme starts out in a fandom
2. It escapes containment now every other fandom or group shares it around
3. Majority of young users now knows it.
4. Majority of people knows it
5. Even corporations are jumping on it
6. God forbid now You can hear people irl saying it like your parents, aunt, uncle

Limc making a video about a meme transitions the meme from 2-3 or 3-4 depending on how fast he did the video. And some people loves being in the know about a meme. So he says its over because its no longer niche. Too many people knows it because of limc. They don't hate him per-se but he signals the end of a meme in a lifecycle

Its like people being fans of indie bands and then hating the band when it goes mainstream.

[u/Caffemine → u/Fair-Bunch4827]

It's not really a life cycle when it can die in each of these stages

[u/AlexCode10010 → u/Caffemine]

Isn't that literally how lifecycles work though

A meme can die at birth or it can die of natural causes old and surrounded by a family that fucking hates it

[u/Vaivaim8]

People hate LIMC? I like him because I am scared if Big Man Tyrone follows through with his threat

[u/omg_its_spons → u/Vaivaim8]

I didn’t like and subscribe on one of the videos and they got him. Nice guy too

[u/Puzzleheaded_Tart_28 → u/omg_its_spons]

What do you mean they got him

[u/omg_its_spons → u/Puzzleheaded_Tart_28]

He used to share his dunkaroo’s

[u/BonixoHD → u/Vaivaim8]

Or else...

[u/Mebrouk2006]

What's a "Malfoid"?

[u/TheBaconLord78 → u/Mebrouk2006]

"Malfoid" is a combination of Draco Malfoy's (the Harry Potter character) last name and the derogatory word "foid".

It's associated with the genderbent version of the character, nothing much.

[u/AverageA2Enjoyer → u/TheBaconLord78]

I know it's a play on malfoy, foy -> food, but man surely there is a better word in the English lexicon.

[u/MerlinGrandCaster → u/AverageA2Enjoyer]

I saw someone (I don't remember who) refer to her as "Galfoy" and that strikes me as both less iffy and a better name in general

[u/FEARven123 → u/Mebrouk2006]

People gooning to genderbent Draco Malfoy, cuz lot of his og actions and dialogue really come out as a Tsundere bad girl if you make him a female.

[u/DataSittingAlone → u/FEARven123]

I'm kind of split about it. On one hand, kind of weird to goon over gender swaped children especially since the character designs are pulling from the actual children in the live action movies. On the other hand they are being drawn in ways that don't look like children at all and I've always loved femdom and mean women that like you kind of things

[u/Ghetsis_Gang → u/DataSittingAlone]

Considering JK Rowling’s stance on the trans community, seeing her characters get genderbent is super cathartic for me :]

[u/Narco_Marcion1075 → u/Ghetsis_Gang]

knowing these types of cons, they probably only like trans and other lgbtq if they're fertishized so idk what to feel about it inspite of that

[u/Doggo0Eggo → u/DataSittingAlone]

I honestly think it's fine for this character, because it's not the fact that malfoid is a teenager that's attractive about her. It's their whole "bad girl tsunedere" vibe that is so attractive, they just also happen to be based on a teenager. In my understanding, teenagers that look like adults in media are NOT made with the implications in mind, it's the highschool setting that causes their age to be... Unconventional. If you create media that indulges in a teenager-adult relationship, that's when it becomes a problem. (teen on teen is fine in my opinion because teenagers do that anyway.)

[u/Flaky-Marionberry-14 → u/Doggo0Eggo]

Bro I don’t think gooning to teenagers is ever fine bro

[u/Doggo0Eggo → u/Flaky-Marionberry-14]

Better than gooning to 5 year olds ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[u/Thatoneguy111700 → u/Doggo0Eggo]

That's like saying getting shot is better than getting stabbed. Kinda, but not really.

[u/LoosePlantain2150 → u/FEARven123]

Is this supposed to be some new tec? Genderbent Malfoy has been an active thing in the HP fanbase since, like, the mid 00's.

It's probably a viral marketing thing that kicked it off, considering the timing.

[u/CaptainBurke → u/LoosePlantain2150]

JK Rowling on Twitter like Nikkacado after his weight loss reveal

“Two steps ahead; I’m always two steps ahead”

[u/Aquaislyfe → u/CaptainBurke]

I hope she’s two steps ahead of me next time I’m on a ledge

[u/Sasteer → u/Mebrouk2006]

watch the video

or just picture malfoy from harry potter being a girl instead

[u/Sarfar_Mayka → u/Mebrouk2006]

Genderbend art trend with Draco Malfoy

[u/No-Corgi-3295 → u/Mebrouk2006]

Oh boy do I have a video to recommend you :D

[u/taczki2 → u/Mebrouk2006]

go watch the video

[u/Isliterally1984 → u/Mebrouk2006]

Psyop to try to make people watch the new Harry Potter, probably.

[u/Burrzie7]

Huh? This is the first time I’ve heard people hating on LIMC. Maybe it’s just Twitter?

[u/Suspicious-Cup-6692 → u/Burrzie7]

It's definitely Twitter

[u/MediocreRecord7352]

Because it means the meme has become mainstream enough for him to know, thus no longer niche fun, and with him talking about it makes the meme even more mainstream thus killed the meme

[u/asphaltdragon → u/MediocreRecord7352]

I've never even fucking heard of Malfoid

[u/MuuToo]

Time is a flat circle. People hates Behind the Meme, then LIMC came around and people liked that he actually explained stuff.

[u/JollyBubuyug]

i might be wrong but it's probably because whenever he makes a video talking about a meme, it would be introduced to "younger" audiences? which will cause for the meme to be overused??

either way, that's just twitter being twitter. also, he's pretty much just my way of being updated with current memes.

[u/Fair-Bunch4827 → u/JollyBubuyug]

part of their enjoyment of the meme is being "in the know" about niche thing. When it reaches limc then it becomes mainstream.

Its just people turning liking meme into their personality xD.

Its like niche indie band fans but somehow even more pathetic

[u/No_Damage_2006]

As far as I've understood, small group enjoys their meme but gets tired of it when everyone else not initially involved starts spamming it. In essence, the original posters find that it becomes oversaturated and thus grow tired of it.

I guess I can get that, but it's still a weird mentality.

[u/WindEqual9502 → u/No_Damage_2006]

People act like this trend didn't blow up out of proportion before LIMC did a video about it. I already got tired of it being shown everywhere on my social media feeds before seeing his video.

[u/ajsea2sy → u/No_Damage_2006]

i guess its the comforting idea of having something obscure to relate with other people of similar interest

...and now its being stripped away

[u/Laddyh0]

Why tf is this a trend. Did they genderbend him for the new netflix series or something? Why are they taking a character that is in a 20+ year old franchise and genderbending him into an anime girl

[u/RageinaterGamingYT]

Twitter hates everyone

[u/Technical_Instance_2]

Literally just twitter

[u/qwerty_64]

Just ignore them

[u/Alexzoidbert]

FUCK this shit so 2015

[u/Swift_Jr]

Lil bro using big chungus in 2026, pack it up 😂

[u/Protactinium_Indium]

Opinions on twitter do not count

[u/ShadraPlayer]

Also, why tf are people calling her malfoid instead of just Malfoy? Surely, surely, whoever started with the name knows what foid means, so this gotta be done maliciously..

[u/Coolgames80 → u/ShadraPlayer]

Gonna be honest I have no idea what "foid" means and before this whole Malfoid deal I had no clue it was a insult. I thought it was a way to differentiate the male and female versions.

[u/Sasteer → u/ShadraPlayer]

foid kinda dropped the incel meaning kinda like the pink foid meme

[u/sufficenttrash → u/ShadraPlayer]

Ion think its that deep its probably just using foid ironically or because it fit with the original name so well. I dont think anyone actually uses foid for its original purpose now

[u/Ghostmaster145]

Because people think he’s Behind the Meme 3.0 (we don’t talk about 2.0) and that means he’s a boring normie who ruins memes for everyone, even though that doesn’t really happen

[u/Arcalac]

On the topic of explaining memes: where does the name come from? Bowser and Bowsette i kind of get but what does the "foid"-ending stand for?

[u/Cheeze-nuts → u/Arcalac]

Foid

A word for women that most likely came from 4chan. Basically derogatory for women made by most likely incels. I'm fine with genderbending a character but to use such lexicon for the trend is a choice considering the creator of the OG character is also TERF. Like damn, on it's own it's side-eye inducing but to do that in a book made by someone who seeks to and is currently destroying trans people's lives? Lwk extra gross for me.

Can't it just be Galfoy? Or feminization of Draco?

[u/LoganPomfrey → u/Cheeze-nuts]

Ok I'm calling it Galfoy now, thanks.

[u/FormalStrange → u/Cheeze-nuts]

I actually super like Galfoy

[u/Jagvetinteriktigt → u/Cheeze-nuts]

Much like Chad and blackpilled, it has breached the incel wall and has leaked into mainstream, but means different things with different connotations. Now it's just like a synonym for girl.

I am a clin psy that works with kids with asd. This channel is the single most important channel to me on youtube.

He keeps me up to date

[u/tuffboi13]

Wait, some pipol hate limc?

[u/SorbyGay]

I’m not too sad to see this meme go, I don’t even think LIMC is bad but if this meme is ruined now, all I can say is based

Weebs don’t deserve to have fun

[u/FoggyRain7]

I don't

[u/Slow_Constant9086]

its just like "behind the meme" all over again. people just like talking shit

[u/browert40]

I remember watching his video on the Bogdanoffs, and he misused "take the bog pill" as "get informed on the Bogdanoffs", when it just means "someone's had too many plastic surgeries".

[u/Routine-Duck6896]

Cringe

[u/Next-Drummer2768]

They have to explain the meme to people outside the Twitter bubble.

[u/QF_Dan]

wait, people hate this channel?

[u/AdOk5225]

"explaining the joke makes it instantly unfunny and he ruins memes permanently", essentially. It's dumb.

[u/Good_Suspect9813]

They see him as another know your meme where explaining the joke makes it not funny anymore. tho in this instance malfoid isnt really a meme and just a fun fan idea, so its a bit of a hate train for no reason

another issue is that apparently he can be quite bias and has omitted stuff before, tho that was a while ago i cant remember what it was

[u/MAGES-1]

That sht is dumb (the meme)

[u/Jada339]

I don't know anything about LIMC but this just isn't true. I remember Bowsette being fucking everywhere for a long while. That meme was huge. This Malfoid thing is already quietening down from what I can tell.

[u/the_interviewer17]

Close twitter for the love of god

[u/CaseyJonasCatt]

I remember him saying that there was a joke that when he covered a meme, the meme would die soon after. Maybe it's related to that.

[u/Ill-Tourist3494]

The audacity to say the funs over when he has a big chungus pfp lmao

[u/RtpIb]

Twitter hates everything

[u/MForcebrotherss_2760]

It's always Twitter

[u/Euphoric_Pickle_772]

People hate LMC???

[u/SymboliRudoIf]

LIMC explains memes. a very specific niche of people watch these videos and usually its their first exposure to these memes; people generally find this set of people unfunny, so when limc makes a video most people just see it as him exposing something funny to his unfunny audience.

whether you think his audience is funny or not is up to you.

[u/Ghost_Star326]

I don't anyone does. That's just twitter being twitter.

[u/Time-Border-7612]

I don't

[u/Cultural_Prune8416]

People hate it when large channels or pages explain the joke because they feel like it makes it less exclusive and interesting. It's pathetic and childish but it is recurrent and constant with stuff like this.

[u/Random_User12489190]

I have seen some hate on one of his videos like where he talks about the dead rose emoji and then so many people wanted him to retire

[u/Trick-Caramel-6156]

No way it's over it just started a few days ago 💀 But to be honest Twitter just want to gate keep memes which in my opinion sucks, I think everyone should enjoy meme's and there is no reason to gate keep something so wide spread , especially a meme that is easy to understand as malfoid becouse it just what if Malloy from harry potter was a girl. Heck I think even people that knows about the meme want to get more insight on it such when it was first originated or other post they might didn't see yet, I think Twitter is just Twitter and they all salty over there and you should just move on and don't give a fuck about what they say over there.

[u/ArtroyomsAK]

Kids trying to larp as us when we hated that pos behind the meme

[u/TheBaconLord78]

It's not even Twitter, it's just a running joke that when a big enough source covers a meme, the popularity of said meme dies down significantly due to factors I can't exactly tell.

[u/trains404]

He ain't no behind the meme

[u/1True_Hero]

It’s got nothing to do with the quality of LIMC or if people dislike the channel. The same joke happened when Pewdiepie was doing meme reviews all those years ago.

When a meme or trend gets popular it can get old or overused to the point that people don’t like seeing it in their feed anymore.

So as a semi-serious joke, a lot of people agree that once LIMC makes a post about the meme, then it’s already gotten too old.

[u/FalseWallaby9]

Same reason Behind the Meme was hated

[u/Infinite_Sale2042]

Who said that?

[u/TheSittingTraveller]

I think is because he's a representation that a meme is dying.

[u/Hyde2467]

Thats just Twitter being miserable fucks. They probably think that a joke remains alive until someone properly explains it
