      The overzealous censorship is possibly a feature not a bug. Done deliberately by the OP to ragebait people who find it disagreeable for a free engagement boost.

      The meme/trend wouldn’t be so ubiquitous right now if it weren’t so successful at its own self-propagation, because it’s being naturally selected for.
