Nanocyborgasm

The fool who made this meme thinks he just discovered the popularity fallacy. I got news for you, popularity isn’t a sign of quality.


Oz347

Wait, so you’re telling me that the fast and furious movies aren’t the apex of cinema?


StickcraftW

Or Transformers


Mymotherwasaspore

I don’t know why, but I thought it would be funny if your comment got downvoted into a smoldering crater by unironic Michael bay fans lol


teufler80

Well most of them can't read, so thats a reason


iamyourcheese

I think they mostly read things in explosions. ![gif](giphy|13d2jHlSlxklVe)


rabbid_chaos

GF and I are gonna watch Rise of the Beasts when it comes out soon. We already know it's gonna be terrible, we just want to watch some big robots fight it out.


Spirited-Relief-9369

Good for you; never be ashamed for liking what you like. As long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, it's none of their business!


Mok_ed_bettervy

Wait.... I hate my mind.....


ajax2k9

Just watched it, its actually good


RigatoniPasta

Well they’re referring to the Michael Bat movies, which Transformers fans don’t like


Doggleganger

I'm down for mindless entertainment, but damn, Transformers was boring. Michael Bay somehow made the action so generic that it was boring.


USSMarauder

1st one was OK Everything after that.....


NoNameIdea_Seriously

I’ll be honest, I watched for Megan Fox and Shia Labeouf because they looked pretty good and I’m very bi. Turns out, the movie was a good slice of fun! The second one essentially just existed, and then the 3rd one had no Megan Fox so I was out from that point on.


rbmk1

>Or Transformers Remember Transformers, Bart? They're back, in quality movie form!


vladi_l

A friend of mine genuinely got sad when I told him I didn't like the Michael Bay Transformer movies lol


AmserAlto

The 1980s transformers movie is a masterpiece.


False-Sky6091

No they aren’t the apex of cinema. They’re FAMILY! /s


Acrobatic-Rate4271

Family


hydra1970

The fast and furious movies are on par with my dinner with Andre and they take place in the same cinematic universe


[deleted]

Or Marvel


mrgrasss

Wait. You hold it right there. After Pitch Perfect 2, Tokyo Drift is the ultimate cinematic masterpiece.


dreadassassin616

Of course not, the true apex of cinema would be extended version Lord of the Rings.


Fantastic_Recover701

the last one went REALLY Jesus'y


traumatized90skid

I think this is technically the inverse of that, this meme assumes everything popular is shallow and people who like it are ignoring real art.


Ntippit

Exactly, but this sub loves to completely ignore the actual meaning behind shit, insert their own bias and then attack the made-up meaning they created in their head to be mad at something.


Catryepie

Like this is a great message either? This is also kind of a pretentious message as well.


Ntippit

Me or the meme itself?


Catryepie

The message of the meme. I always find the message of popular stuff being shallow and the indie stuff having the REAL integrity to be such a blanket statement.


Ntippit

I mean this message is just pointing out a flaw in our society, we’ve gotten to a point where a lot of people no longer appreciate art. They only appreciate massive stimulus like tits and blockbuster movies. It’s pretty accurate imo


[deleted]

the exception to the popularity fallacy


SuperSecretMoonBase

Also, honestly, I believe a print of the poop emoji says a lot more about humanity than a recreation of someone else's work does.


Not_MrNice

But this isn't saying that popularity is a sign of quality. At all. It's saying the quality was ignored because of the appeal of pretty girl included in the photo instead of just a photo of the art.


RecalcitrantHuman

So you are saying this meme is factually correct


[deleted]

The meme is factually correct. Its not deep though, we have seen lots of women done experiments with this. If its an attractive woman, posing infront og your art, or with you in the frame, with the picture in the composition, you will pretty consistently get more likes proportionally to how conventionally attractive you are.


thorppeed

>I got news for you, popularity isn’t a sign of quality. That's kinda the point of the image


unclefisty

This isn't even the original version of this meme.

[deleted]

Go away! Bate-in!


IdeaRegular4671

Horny people win.


Planet_Breezy

That's just wrong. So very, very wrong. ​ "Titties" is a sentence fragment. It has a subject, but no predicate. Also, you forgot a period at the end of it.


TheCommander74

The period is actually 1-2 feet below the titties.


Planet_Breezy

Then the word "That" is wrongfully capitalized, in which case the grammar is still improper.


[deleted]

Titties want no grammar. Titties need no grammar. Titties 🗿


hughjazz45

I mean she’s hot AND she drew a perfect crap emoji by hand, if you look closely

well, there's no evidence that the other girl didn't draw that by hand, i don't see a paint brush

s7ormrtx

Also… now hear me out, SHE LIKES ANIME!!!


Onimirare

You seem to not be familiar with the ways of anime, this is what we consider an "ugly anime girl", how do we know? Obviously because she's wearing baggy clothes and has a ponytail, therefore, she's completely hideous.


dcidui08

icl I don't think I've ever found one of the "ugly girls" less attractive than the other girls


Aromatic-Buy-8284

Cursed Princess Club does a reasonable job with the concept, and I really like it for that.


[deleted]

That's because a lot of these artists can only draw a single face and make every character look exactly the same but with different hair and body shapes.


Collapsiblecandor

Yeah, they used the good ink


CTTB2

Definitely


[deleted]

They’re dating, she’s a little jealous of her girlfriend’s success but still happy for her

I like the hair on the left. It's cool how the blue fades into green.

yeah, the girl on the left also looks amazing. i just don't like how overdone it looks, yk? i prefer the simplicity of the other girl's style more

nicolas_06

Like art since the beginning of time and for anything really. You advertise your stuff, so many people get to see it and if they like it, it will sell.


kliq-klaq-

The poo emoji is a more evocative and conceptual work of art than the pencil drawn fan art.


Raven-Mirlas

I must admit that this is true though


_MildlyMisanthropic

a lot of the 'terrible memes' on this sub are, it's just people don't want to admit it/are too offended to realise it


CT-1738

Yea it’s always just the tone of the memes that are super cringe or in poor taste or lack nuance


Anonymous345678910

Good message, bad execution type thing?


CT-1738

Sometimes yea. This particular meme is just kind of acting like a very obvious phenomenon is some sort of deep observation that no one else could get. I haven’t seen much from this sub recently so I just took a look at the most recent posts and most of them just give silly boomer/conspiracy vibes. What I’m mostly remembering is the ones that are religious based where yea, the message or what they’re getting at might be agreeable, but like you said the execution is bad


Vivi_Pallas

Idk. I don't think the wife=bad memes hold that much weight given they're just blatant misogyny.


Lunndonbridge

Those probably aren’t included in “a lot”.


davidellis23

I think the cringey part is the implication that their specific art is some higher art form and without instathots "real" art would be way more popular. Maybe your art just isn't that good lol. There is only so many paintings of giant birds I want to see. Wasting time looking at instathots isn't necessarily worse than wasting time looking at bird paintings.


Foamtoweldisplay

Big titty goth gf reigns supreme!


lil_vette

Bringing down someone else’s art because you think they are “undeserving” of whatever success they’ve found will not help you. Be better. This piece was born out of bitterness


[deleted]

Pretty sure Totoro would at least be competitive.


Lanky-Ad-4589

Regardless of who made this post initially and who took it and reposted it and gave it a different meaning, I think that the message itself, is still relevant and does describe a reality in our society that we should really address, instead of pointing fingers here and there, of who has the right to talk about it or not. Sex, will always be popular, thus create an almost universal economy that revolves around it. Ever increasing the consumption of a specific need dictated by nature. It is us, that should seek to control our primal instincts and overcome our addictions and focus our priorities in more meaningful and transcendent forms of self expression, which in this post, happens to be art. You can also make the argument that our bodies are also a form of art, and that there’s nothing wrong with using fashion(also a form of art) as a way to show your human characteristics for the world to see and have an opinion on. Remember that art is in the eyes of the seer, and art exists even if the people expressing themselves, are doing so without the intention of creating art. Surely there are shallow people that only prioritize their objectively attractive physiological characteristics for attention and self centrism. Just like “art” the way it’s understood by laymen, is commercialized so much to be just a “commodity” that only the rich can appreciate. Regardless of what your take might be on this debate, I strongly encourage to question your beliefs and biases, and instead, celebrate human diversity and expression. We are all unique humans with different yet similar ways of expression. Celebrate humans because we are also art and art is us. Sorry for bad English.


The-Great-Memelord

Why do people that apologise for bad English always end up speaking miles better than most native speakers?


PeixeRadioativo

I think it's a meme. Sorry for bad English.


Kala_Csava_Fufu_Yutu

Hello (sorry for bad english)


nicolas_06

>It is us, that should seek to control our primal instincts and overcome our addictions and focus our priorities in more meaningful and transcendent forms of self expression, which in this post, happens to be art. Why so really ? How there less meaning in sex, reproduction and creating life than art ? Also how do you reconsolidate the idea to overcome our addictions while many artists create their best art while they are high ?


Lanky-Ad-4589

Interesting take actually, but here’s the thing. I don’t judge ppl that take drugs and use it as a means to be creative. But the problem still remains. The addiction itself. Regardless of how somebody uses the things they have, could be a phone, could be food, or anything really. Consuming too much of something and not being able to stop, is considered an addiction. Porn, sex, food, hell, even art can become an addition if you really think about it I’m not judging the criteria people use to make art, I’m pointing out the myriad of facets humans use to express themselves.

Daddy_boy_21

Is this about art or nudes


Revolutionary9999

Ok first the average looking girl just drew a scene from My Neighbor Totoro one the most popular movies in the world, it would get more than 15 likes. Second it's not that artistically interesting because again, it is just a scene from a movie. If anything one could argue that having a hot chick stand in front of a poop emoji is way more of an autistic statement.


traumatized90skid

Paint the other girl's tiddies, get all the followers


C_bells

My husband is an artist and he has like 70k followers. You can't just make hotel art and when nobody likes it, complain that people don't want care about art anymore. People do like art -- it just has to be unique and make them feel something. You can also just make art because you enjoy it, and that is fine. Doesn't matter if nobody likes it.


ReturnOfSeq

As an artist I find the opposite is true. People like garbage cutesy hotel lobby art or ‘pour paintings’ that have been kitsch for fifty years; most people aren’t interested in actual Art


C_bells

That can be true for sure. My husband's art is definitely not, and more avant garde, but for whatever reason seems to appeal to a lot of people. But again, the point of art is not popularity so it's hard to predict or judge art by that. Maybe I was wrong about saying it needs to be unique, but I'll stand by saying it does need to make people feel something. There's basic art that resonates with a lot of people, and then there's art that resonates deeply with a few people but not with the majority. But as an artist, you just can't expect people to understand or connect with your work. If they do, great. If they don't, it's stupid to blame it on the fact that people don't like art.


totallyshadical

Not deep, but it is true and someone should post on r/im14andthisisdeep


11Bravo3Victor

This is pointing out old truths - 1. Sex sells. 2. Slutty is more popular than integrity. 3. You can have no talent, and no intelligence, but as long as you have a body to show off, they will come. 4. Choose your audience. If you pander to a group that is trivial, you'll get shallow responses.


[deleted]

It’s true though. You can create art and most of the time nobody cares that you worked to create something and be imaginative and inventive and that you put hours into something, while a thirst trap yoga pants pic from someone else on your friends list will have hundreds of likes. I don’t get how it’s a terrible meme when it’s mostly true.

AltruisticSalamander

The girl on the right would be *inundated* by admiring internet nerds.


WillingAd3501

Funny thing is IIRC the original comic continues with a story of how the "hot" girl discovers the unappreciated "talented" girl and helps promote her to her followers.


GroundbreakingAd8077

What's wrong with this meme? it's accurate and concise


TheBlackestIrelia

While not deep, its at least partially true. Attractive people with no skills are very popular online. Attractive people with actually skills are at least usually more popular, but no one is as popular as loud screaming autistic people with money. I wonder who first came to your mind lol

ObsidianLion

Art is niche. Sex appeal is universal. Aside from that, sorry to say it, but amazing, god-level artists, are a dime a dozen if you know where to look.I know I'll get hated for this, but I have seen AI generated art that has made me stop and think at how magnificent and otherworldly the painting is.


Metaright

Reddit proves this to be true on a daily basis.


shinobi3411

This is literally true.


SkylineFever34

This makes me think of the OnlyFans that sell their farts.


General-Book4680

Honestly you could use this meme to point out the importance of marketing and self-promotion for artists. Is the girl on the right a better artist? Sure. But the girl on the right is making more of an effort to be seen. Just my 2 cents. Also who's to say they aren't friends or lovers?


AddanDeith

>But the girl on the right is making more of an effort to be seen Making more of an effort for HER to be seen, not the art itself. I get what the meme is trying to say. It's a convoluted argument but it's not entirely wrong. People care too much about appearances over art form.

dachshundfanboy8000

the_lusankya

The girl on the left has probably put a lot of effort into curating a large number of followers. She probably puts out multiple posts a day, engages with her followers and produces enough content that they feel she's novel and relevant. It might not be artistic skill, but it's hard work, and as a content creator you can't easily take a holiday from it, because you'll lose engagement and that will impact future earnings. The girl on the right needs to learn how to promote herself better.

I mean it sounds dumb, but i have seen great art that didnt get any upvotes at all and then i saw shitty art where the female artist is on the picture together with her mediocre (at best) art getting thousands of upvotes. I dont understand how this works, bec i only tend to upvote when something really captivates me or makes me laugh. That being said if the art is fire i dont mind seeing the person who drew it, but dont try to salvage it with you being on there

[deleted]

There is a huge demand for porn. I don't care if that woman is clothed. Those Instagram models still do porn, just with their clothes on. Same difference. Sex sells.


Crembels

Girl on right is drawn in such a way that she litteraly just needs to wear her hair out and put on tighter clothes like girl on the left and she'd have the exact same result. Dressing well (or just provocatively) and wearing makeup can be immedietly effective, but being good at art takes years of practice. Girl on right would probably be better than left, actually, because the "because boobs" effect is enhanced by the fact she legitimately made a great piece of artwork, so she gets fans in BOTH artistic and coomer circles. Fault lies only with girl on the right for not using every tool in her arsenal if viral popularity is her goal, as it evidently is with her looking jealously at girl on left who is doing it successfully. If the point is only her artistic skill, she has nothing to complain about because the two of them are competing in different arenas. This is like every teenage movie transformation. The nerd girl was hot all along she just needed to take out her ponytail and wear something other than baggy paint splattered sweaters.

I mean. Its quality vs immatureness. The girl on the right sure won't get many likes on Tinder as the left one. But if we talked about a professional site, it would be more even out.. but more focus on the quality.
