There’s no doubting the power of a good meme, a language that the Internet itself is fluent in. Memes are created for various reasons, from mocking Belle Delphine’s bathwater stunt and raiding Area 51 jokes to semi-serious criticisms over the 30-50 feral hogs argument, and the latest debate over whether video games cause violence has inspired an older format to take a new approach.
