ARTICLE: Meme Warfare

In November, 2016, Douglas Haddow of The Guardian wrote this piece about meme warfare affecting the 2016 election. In the direct wake of Ken Bone, Donald Trump beating up a CNN logo and Hillary reacting to balloons, people consumed the media (or memes) that conformed to their preconceived beliefs and notions. Even the memes weren't necessarily true, funny or clever, they would disseminate and reproduce the content they found agreeable, which would spread to their social media networks.

It's an interesting read that puts the potential reach of the Swampy Memes page in a new light.

Out of Context Porn Memes

Image
Now, I'll be honest here. These are juvenile but undeniably hilarious. The recent trend of out of context porn snapshots repurposed to display the minds of college Gators is a little random but ultimately shows the creativity and internet culture that defines the humor of the millennial generation.

In a group of 28,000 members who double as also being the content creators, it's somewhat bizarre that 50% of the content is made by the 10 administrators who run the page. Certain admins will post 2 or more memes a day and, if not instantly approve themselves will be instantly approved by another admin regardless of the quality of the content. This inevitably leads to people being discontent, which leads to defensiveness on the part of the page creators who circle the wagons and react with condescension to members who attack the decreasing quality of memes posted by the same admins day in and day out, starting the whole cycle over. Maybe it's a lack of user engagement where not enough people are sending in memes and content so the page runners are forced to make their own. It's somewhat farcical to lambast the lack of ethics in a page devoted to memes making fun of people and relatable experiences around campus, but for many it does impact the enjoyment of bein

Halloween Memes!

Image
It's that special time of year when grade school and college kids alike rot the teeth out of their heads with candy and questionable life choices. Let's look at some memes! In college it's well known that Halloween is celebrated for the whole month. I went to 8 costume parties in October, none of them actually happened on Halloween! This one is just extra spicy when you know the drama and history that led to this image. Let's just say it references the unsavory election tactics and casual racism that has plagued UF Greek life (and one sorority in particular.)
