Is there a name for this?

Great... Aside from your personal contempt for the trend, anything else?

Is there a name for this?

Hello there, general forum. I've recently seen an increase in people creating personas out of strapping a gopro camera to their head and filming themselves with the 360° effect on, making them have a small forehead while presenting a big round nose and gigantic lips, coupled with sped up dialogue. They seem to curate million of views out of doing random things on Tiktok, Instagram, and the likes. Think Jaron for example. I've seen them being called the "360° camera watermelon kid" but it doesn't yield...

KYM Lore: Myths and Legends, Gods and Devils

Oh, the nostalgia. Seeing Blubber's art again brings out all sorts of fuzzy feelings.

What KnowYourMeme Looked like 10 Years Ago

Oh Boy, CAMOAWAM was still a thing in those days...

Should Discworld have its own entry?

As a big fan of the series, I would approve of such an entry. Thing is, contrary to, say, Harry Potter, I don't recall any potential memes coming out of it. Even the "is it Auditor trap?" inside joke never caught on past the scarce fan pages.

Des paillettes dans ma vie Kevin!

Inès Reg, French comedian, became a sensation on the French web thanks to a comedy skit she posted on Instagram on August 21th, in which she plays a vapid young wife who reacts negatively to her husband suggesting Macdonalds as a late night romantic dinner by listing the expensive price of all her clothes and makeup. This skit alone made her go from 150 000 subscribers to 800k+ in two weeks, as well as garner over 2m views on the site. My fellow French researchers, thoughts about this viral video?

CASE Act: New copyright bill could allow companies to fine upwards of 5ドルk for posting copyrighted content

if copyright was designed to protect artists, then even if it would protect artists I know this post is 11 days old but, really, no, it's pretty obvious that copyright laws are made to protect majors, companies. Not the artists themselves, or, maybe the richest and most powerful ones only.

As a brazilian. Ocasio-Cortez sounds like a threat who is small and inoffensive now, dangerously destructive in 20 years

Wilfried The Cat

It seems we don't have an article about this wonderful cat yet. While the cat is known to many since, at least, the early 2018, a very recent parody with voice-over brought it back to fame. Thoughts?

Who would you say are the core members of the "KYMtheon"?

Wow! Jacob, best mod.

The Benalla Affair

Breaking: Banella appeared on French national television tonight (on TF1, no less!) to explain his version of the story, stating that he didn't use excessive violence at all, as more videos were released.

The Benalla Affair

As a followup, it seems that social media (Facebook in particular but Twitter as well) are censoring links about the affair, deleting many Benalla/Maron related posts (In french). It's especially true for the parodic website NordPresse. For now, it seems that the deleted posts are claimed to be either parodies or "fake news", as part of the antiFake News struggle by Facebook, I assume.

The Benalla Affair

I think this event is noteworthy enough to warrant an entry here. It primarily hit the French web about 4 days ago but the English-speaking side of the internet is catching up quickly. The Benalla Affair refers to a young man with ties to the French government who has been captured on tape beating up protesters during the May Day demonstrations in France this year. Newspaper Le Monde was the first to report on the case and to publish the incriminating video., on July 18th. This case is underlining the...

To the Frenchies out there - Non-Binaire/Gauthier-Fawas - Meme or not?

I've heard about this. It may well deserve an entry, I think.

KYM Nazi Sentancing begins

Vaz. HoH was indeed active when I became a mod and she was active on the first batch of our IRC channel as well. I don't remember if all of her logs were saved but, in earnest, I admit that I (and I'm only referring to me here, not the whole team) let her behavior slide as "edgy" back then. As far as I remember, she didn't break any "rule" per se. As some people stated it in the link you shared, she didn't discuss nazism as openly as everyone may think she was. Her obsession about her "emperor" and...

RIP Billy 'Anikini" Herrington

Sad news.

Usul controversy

Call to all French users out there. I think this event totally deserves an entry here. Long story short: French far-left leaning political commentor Usul, known first for his humorous videos about videogames (3615 Usul) and now for his weekly Youtube segment for a lefty newspaper ("Ouvrez les guillemets"), started participating in sextapes and webcam shows at the initiative of his current girlfriend, nicknamed OllyPlum, who happens to be a former SuicideGirls model and camgirl. The right-leaning...

What meme did you hate the most

Milhouse.

KYM made front page news;

Brad Kim also pm'd me about it, sending them my profile as a "senior member" of this community but they didn't reach back. Nevertheless, I'm pleased that some of our moderators got their honorable mentions in this piece.
