ITT: /a/ memes that never caught on
Niwaka isn't an /a/ meme that didn't catch on, it's a meme from somewhere else that didn't catch on in /a/. Awful thread.
I had high hopes for this series.
But it just gets worse and worse with every new episode.

No, this is an actual forced meme that became a full-fledged meme.
Semen demon is the niwaka of 2014-15.
>>122976036
That's because it's not a meme, it's just an /a/ tradition. The only joke is that it's the same thread posted on /a/ every single day for years and years, how is that supposed to catch on anywhere else?

How is that a forced meme? It's just some reaction images that took off, and it also filled a niche since 4channers were looking for a word to replace "troll" since it had been tainted by normies.
For a while I thought "ruse" was going to be the new troll, but then bait showed up and it looks like it will be here to stay.
Or at least until bait images start getting posted on facebook or wherever.

Before it took off, newfag, it was pretty much forced into every thread by a samefag.
Hence it being forced. It did become an actual meme though, unlike semen demon.

/a/ still produces a lot of OC compared to the other big boards, I think it's due to the insularity of the community.

More like people saved it when they saw it posted, and then reposted it themselves later. I didn't start saving them until the variants started showing up in the summer of 2013, at least those are the oldest images I have in my bait folder, but I'm sure other people jumped on it right away. It's a nicely designed image after all.

When the variants showed up, it was a meme. Before that, it's pretty much as forced as niwaka.

It's literally one guy infrequently spamming something, it's the definition of a forced meme. And what's more, it's probably already on its way out.

So basically, you're saying the guy posting it had to have saved it from 4chan in the first place. In which case he couldn't have been the image's original creator.
So basically, you just tracked one particular person who liked the image, and claimed it was the creator to fit this conspiracy of forced memes.
Sad.
>>122977077

But being a newfag, you wouldn't remember the great newfag invasion of 2008.
>>122977116
Yeah, I knew that already. I was just thinking that it was a neat coincidence.
Yes, but consider that GL 15 had over 22000 frames of animation, whereas an important episode in your normal series has around 12000.
I think it still equates to GL's being superior even against a 52 episode animu because even by normal standards it is so infinitely superior.
>>122977149
>posting a certified newfag chart
>>122977138

The creator could've saved the image to make it look like he saved it, then posted it repeatedly thinking that no one would track his samefagged posts.
But people did track them.
this thread is so embarrassing
>>122977177
Way to move those goalposts champ.
So now the conspiracy has grown from the creator promoting his own image to a small cult of people colluding to make an image popular.
Or maybe individuals just liked it and used it a lot, that seems the more obvious answer, but I'm sure you're right and it was really a conspiracy to force a meme.
Just like MLP, it had nothing to do with people actually liking a show and talking incessantly about it until it got noticed by the broader internet, it was all a plot.

Autism like yours must've helped in forcing it, though.
>>122977234
You realize how ridiculous that sounds right? You're sitting there coming up with this retarded conspiracy about how a guy went to all this trouble to avoid samefag detection over an image, because you refuse to believe it was simply popular and reposted often by people who liked it.

Meanwhile, this thread is still up. Priorities much?
>>122977318
>Actually, that's exactly what happened.
Except not. The images being tracked by people had 4chan filenames, meaning they were saved from the board and reposted. So your conspiracy would now have to involve the guy saving his own posts and reposting them in an effort to evade samefag detection, yet he never bothers to do this more than once apparently, so maybe he forgot.
The simplest explanation is most often correct, but I guess you prefer your fantasies.
>>122977339
F*** off
>>122977361
Well this is the anime and manga board.
>>122977372
The fact that an individual samefagged it over and over again by the hundreds instead of multiple individuals until the variants came about points otherwise.
Check the file name.

It's the same four filenames, though rather than multiple filenames had people saved it at different points in time.
>>122977407
So, according to you, the creator firsts posts his image on 4chan, then cunningly saves his own posted image to get an authentic 4chan filename to fool samefag detectors, then never bothers to do this again, apparently forgetting all about his intent of avoiding detection.
>>122977372
The creator could have saved it then reposted it. Blatantly. People were getting irritated with it until someone made the variants.
DUBS fucking dubs
>>122977441

By that logic, everyone in 4chan is cunning.

>>122977453
>The creator could have saved it then reposted it
Yet he only did it once. Hence why he was able to be tracked. It defeats the purpose of doing it if you only do it once.
So either:
A) He had a sudden bout of amnesia and forgot that his images could be tracked if he didn't replace them with new versions
B) it was just somebody who liked the image
>>122977441
You were the one samefagging it, weren't you? That's what I suspect, seeing the autism you're spreading right now.
>>122977388
And? *shoves you* What are you gonna do about it?
>>122977477
I hear a sign of autism is not being able to detect sarcasm. But then, I'll bet obsessively tracking images in the archive qualifies too.
>>122977495
>Yet he only did it once.
Not really, if you check the filenames, it was the same filename every time until people made the variants.

Exactly. He only did it once. He didn't re-save the image every time he posted it, he just used the same file he originally saved. In other words: he behaved exactly like a normal anon. He simply reposted an image he liked without bothering to change the filename.
If he were trying to avoid detection, he would have changed the file name, but he just kept he default, which was a 4chan filename, showing that he got the image from 4chan.
Ergo, he's not the creator, nor was he trying to avoid detection, Q.E.D.
