    It’s not really a new meme format, it’s used heavily by debate chuds who worship HPMOR over at /r/TheMotte.

    I’m fine with attempting to retake it, tho.

        It’s way, way, worse than you can imagine. It’s AWWWWFUL.

        EDIT: There’s a large overlap with SlateStarCodex if that means anything to you.

        There is also /r/SneerClub, dedicated to ruthlessly mocking /r/themotte, but it was never funny enough to keep my interest TBH
