Brace yourselves. Reddit cringe is coming.

I’m utterly lost.  

@Princess♠Molestia  
More like she said that and then everyone interpreted that as “WE MUST REVIVE THIS MEME AT ONCE!”.

People got mad cause she said winter is coming?
 
Wow…that.
 
That is a whole new level of dumb there.

@Blacklight Shining  
Even in that first comment, I was talking about the show. Communication problem.

@Background Pony #984B  

 

 
You’ll have to forgive me for being confused.

@Blacklight Shining  
You don’t seem to get it. It’s not this specific image, but the fact that Twilight actually said this dumb line that is the problem. And there are no rules against criticism.

@Background Pony #984B  
If you’re not going to filter out image macros, quit complaining in their comments. It’s your fault you keep seeing them.

@Blacklight Shining  
I don’t filter stuff from the actual show, so that just isn’t going to happen. You may as well stop asking.

@Background Pony #984B  
Some of us actually enjoy this. There’s a reason filters exist. The idea is that you filter out what you don’t like, so you don’t have to see it, and we don’t have to listen to your whining.

@Blacklight Shining  
Mm. No.
 
@Keith Mowz  
It’s old, it’s not funny, and it’s not the least bit creative. Make excuses all you want, but it’s not getting any less stupid.

@Background Pony #984B  
Is it really a ‘strawman’ if you then go on to say what I just predicted you would say?
 
@Background Pony #984B
 
Again, and maybe saying it sarcastically is confusing you so I’ll state it plainly, there is nothing inherently worthless about memes. They’re just as much a part of modern culture as any other piece of media.

On an unrelated note: does this count as [obtrusive watermark]? Or do we|should we have a [content thief banner] or something?

@Background Pony #984B  

 
Remove your downvote, hide [image macro] (like the default filter, even), and move on.

2 words derpy hooves

Oh and also back in my day, we had memes you could put alterations on. It wasn’t just one note played until it’s 20,000 leagues under the sea.

@mrdoctorderpy  
The only reason we all know that quote is because it is an internet meme. This isn’t that hard to understand. In isolation, it’s just another line from a TV show on HBO that only a select number of people have seen. A far greater degree of exposure as an image macro is the primary reason that people like myself, who do not watch the show, are familiar with it.
 
Slapping old image-macro rubbish in a cartoon as some kind of wink to this internet-based fandom is like a corny Dad joke.

@Background Pony #984B  
how is it not a reference to game of thrones itself

@Keith Mowz  
Demonstrating my vast intellect with sarcasm and disingenuous strawmen makes me more convincing, right guize?
 
 
@mrdoctorderpy  
It’s almost like you didn’t even read my post. Here’s a refresher:

Well, would you look at that!

@mrdoctorderpy  
No, it isn’t, its exclusively from le maymays because the internet said so, and internet culture is inherently worthless and cannot be referenced in anything else ever because of it.

@Background Pony #984B  
you do know winter is coming is a line from game of thrones

@Background Pony #ABC7  
Case in point. That dumb cat makes for a terrible cutie mark. Nice fedora though.

@Background Pony #984B  

 

You know, pop cultural references in cartoons are questionable when they’re too overt. Internet memes on the other hand are just an automatic no. And don’t even bother to argue about it being a reference. Of course it is. It’s a reference to an old-ish meme that references Game of Thrones. It ain’t funny, and it ain’t clever.
