Memes are memes. They’re constantly spreading and evolving.
Look at Pepe, for example. The artist who drew the original Pepe cartoons has no control over Pepe’s usage today, and some even claim that Pepe is a symbol for hate. It’s like a game of telephone, where things tend to get distorted along the way.
In the end, I think memes are a mirror. Some people might connect with the wholesome/positive values preached by the Brigitte Spaghetti Movement, while others will just make a joke because it’s the meme of the moment.
These new movement threads (including mine) will likely die down within the day. I think everyone lowkey enjoys the cutesy idea behind it. Even though I’m serious about Reaper getting some love, truthfully I hope my in-depth rework thread will keep seeing some light versus my movement thread. it was also not my intention to spam forums. I’ll still keep the signature for awhile because I like the ring to it, and I love pizza. I bet Reaper does too.
Bless!

I can kind of understand, but I think there’s a distinction that needs to be made between those who are participating and those who are making fun of it. ^^ Also, thank you!
I mean, wasn’t that what the Brigitte Spaghetti thing was to begin with? It was just you posting about an emote over and over again, which in itself was a meme similar to speedohogs. That’s not a bad thing though.
Yeah. Then it became a passion for me. The Brigitte Spaghetti Movement grew into something I desperately wanted to keep alive. And the various joke movements are scaring me due to the fact that it will hurt the reputation of the Brigitte Spaghetti Movement or just push it into obscurity
Don’t be scared away from doing something you’re passionate about just because a few people make jokes about it. Keep spreading positivity and wholesomeness and you’ll never fade into obscurity.
so after seeing the name of this “movement” that i’m not going to repeat because it’s so ridiculously silly, it turns out that it was put together for the sole purpose of making a meme of Brigitte eating spaghetti, which to be honest is the last thing I would want to see Brigitte eat. If your goal was to waste my time, then mission accomplished and I salute you. Also, you have inspired me to start the one and only Stop All Movements movement, which I realize is an oxymoron in itself. But seeing as I’ve already stooped this low to comment on this nonsense, I might as well say/do something equally stupid in the process.
I think that the whole “movement” nonsense, including the OP’s movement, are rather poorly designed ideas. We have moderators that act on the authority of Blizzard, and with their oversight, to step in when things get out of hand. Having a forum vigilante team, acting without authority or oversight, come in to hijack threads they deem unacceptable will not reduce hostility on the forums but rather engender it.
I think it might be best for everyone if you just cooled it with this sort of thing.
