I'm tired of it all. Calling women "bitches" and "hoes," speaking of sex as "pussy" and 'dick," half-naked women everywhere, referring to breasts as anything besides "breasts," teenage girls looking like club goers, the porn memes, the kink memes (stop, STOP with "mommy" and "daddy"), the "clothes as personality," the "bimbo" thing, the "alpha/beta/omega/redpill/trad" thing, the "softboi" thing, the negligence of never typing words in the search bar before using them thing, the kawaii infographics for horrific events thing, the "no one is taking any actual humanities classes and can only process art in its most prepackaged, commercialized, spoon-fed form" thing, the "get mad at celebrities instead of fixing problems" thing, the mind-melting combination of doomerism and thumb-twiddling-waiting-for-rich-people-to-save-the-world thing, and the "too childish for adults and too mature for kids" thing. All of it. Everything.

The worst part is, somehow minorities will be blamed.

People With Blue Eyes: Close-Reading a Meme

I could not anticipate the image that would have me keeling over in laughter for days. On January 9th, 2023, Twitter user @Pubby_Kat tweeted an image with the caption: “nobody: / blue eyed people: ” (Figure 1). The image, a Microsoft Paint drawing of a person with bright blue eyes and folded arms smugly staring at the viewer, became a meme format humorously parodied by users online. It was a viral Tweet, garnering over 6,100 retweets and 59,900 likes before being deleted, but I had only discovered it about a year later while browsing the Internet (Philipp, 2023).

Figure 1

Coined “People With Blue Eyes,” this meme fits into a broader genre labeled “MS Paint drawings,” often characterized by their distinct appearance and viral exploitability. These memes usually feature black outlined figures and use bright colors found in the default options of MS Paint, making them easy to edit and parody (Sav, 2011). This lowers the activation energy needed for virality and spread, as more users may participate in the reappropriation and sharing of the image (Milner, 2016). Attesting to the success of this category, the sub-genre of “Rage Comics” are a dominant era in meme history during the mid-late 2010’s that would proliferate the idea of an internet meme remarkably (Figure 2). Additionally, since the genre of MS Paint drawings often define form instead of content, they stay relevant throughout time as users adjust them to meet their own needs. Examples include MS Paint drawings of “Yes Chad,” “Doomer Girl,” “Trad Girl,” and currently “People With Blue Eyes”, which have all developed after 2017 in relation to other popular media (Figure 3).

Figure 2

Figure 3

While part of the success and virality of “People With Blue Eyes” can be attributed to the MS Paint genre, it is important to explore why the content of the meme resonated with users to begin with. Taken literally, “People With Blue Eyes” is a crude figure drawing featuring blue eyes and a smile. In physical settings, it is unacceptable to laugh at someone’s smiling face for having blue eyes. That said, why do people find the digital abstraction of the same idea funny?

Generally, the content of this meme can be contextualized by a broader set of memes collectively titled “Blue Eyes Slander” by Know Your Meme. These typically make humor of the perception that blue eyes are unnerving and the stereotype that people with colored eyes love to have them noticed (Figure 4, Figure 5) (Sakshi, 2023). For those who are already familiar with this trope, “People With Blue Eyes” could immediately be recognized and interpreted into humor. Even for those who are not, the text can easily apply to one's own experience. Additionally, a sly refinement in the “People With Blue Eyes” meme is that it does not explicitly state why it is funny as compared to the previous examples. For those who resonate more with the experience of enduring a piercing blue-eyed gaze, the stark blue fill color contrasting the black and white of the image lends to that experience. For those who resonate more with the experience of a blue-eyed person expecting a compliment, the expectant body language of the figure lends to that experience as well. In a sense, “People With Blue Eyes” could be considered a one-size-fits-all meme for the “Blue Eyes Slander” genre.

Figure 4

Figure 5

However, the image itself is quite literal, and viewers who can not relate to these experiences may be left confused, especially if others can relate to it in a seemingly secret way. How can one explain that blue eyes have an unnerving or piercing effect to those who don’t feel the same? To further complicate the matter, blue eyes are a genetic trait that is strongly associated with race, culture, history, and so on. The blue-eyed demographic, who are likely least susceptible to these experiences, may feel othered by the enigmatic meme. Moreover, the Know Your Meme page for “People With Blue Eyes” featured a parody image showcasing the experience of viewing people with brown eyes (figure 6). The image features warm colors and symbols often used to depict cute, kind, and warm characters. This image, taken in conversation with the original, creates a stark hierarchy between how blue eyes and brown eyes are interpreted. So, is the “People With Blue Eyes” meme inherently problematic?

Figure 6

By zooming out on the “Blue Eyes Slander” category, a comprehensive genre of memes regarding the white demographic emerges. This category includes jokes about white people having no rhythm, being unable to season their food, mistreating their parents, having high starting credit scores, using certain phrases, etc. After looking through the Know Your Meme database to find these jokes, I noticed that many of the ideas stereotyping white people had counterpart tropes in other races. For example, it is a well-known stereotype that the black demographic can cook or dance well. In Part II of Ryan Milner’s book “The World Made Meme: Public Conversations and Participatory Media,” he discusses antagonisms regarding race and gender in memetic texts. One group pushing back against these antagonisms were “counterpublics, who use participatory media to find internal support and to challenge dominant antagonisms” (Milner, 2016). Although difficult to trace when and where specific antagonisms occurred between races, it is clear that some share common roots. One such example of this is the prejudice that Africans had unusual food as compared to the Europeans in early U.S. history. Today, this idea is flipped with the notion that white people can’t cook while black people can in America today. Could the history during colonial America, through centuries of counterpublic interactions, have directly led to this meme today?

To return to the brown-eyed parody of the “People With Blue Eyes,” it would not make sense for it to be a counterpublic interaction against the original blue-eyed meme. The original is already poking fun at those with blue eyes without antagonism towards other eyes. Instead, it resonated with the society’s Eurocentric beauty standard, which affects ethnic communities throughout the United States. In response to this, I believe that the brown-eyed parody was made as a counterpublic against the light-eyed preference in society to help people find comfort in their ethnic features. In other words, this brown-eyed parody was not a method to put down those with blue eyes when compared to the original “People With Blue Eyes” meme, but to defeat the Eurocentric beauty standard.

In conclusion, both the “People With Blue Eyes” meme and the brown-eyed parody are not inherently problematic, although interpretation of the two together may seem deceptively so. As a meme, “People With Blue Eyes” is well constructed, relatable, and easily variable for appropriations by other communities.

In short, “People With Blue Eyes” is a quality meme that I enjoy.

(Not So) Trad Girl

Pencils on sketchpad

Colored & edited in photoshop

October 2020

After Doomer Girl I wanted to make Trad Girl & I thought of juxtaposing a traditional looking girl w/ tattoos that have new interpretations of traditional values like:

Family: the “ohana” (forearm) is inspired by the movie Lilo & Stitch, where family is the focus, but accepting them as who they are & helping them to shine despite of shortcomings.

Spirituality & Intelligence: I chose to the Lotus flower symbolizing rising above one’s basic desires & adapting higher values, just as lotus flowers rise above muddy waters. For the sacred geometry symbols (neck:flower of life, arm:metatron’s cube, hand:Sri Yantra), it is like the visual representation of unifying spirituality & science.

Strength: I chose Princess Mononoke’s mask (arm) because to me she represents the power, courage & compassion of the divine female. The movie itself represents feminism & environmentalism, where women are shown to be strong & respected, taking care of their own w/ their own strength & will, yet humble enough to accept the help of others.

Beauty: Flowers are traditionally associated w/ femininity & beauty. Stargazers (arm) traditionally represent purity but pink stargazers symbolize opportunity, abundance & prosperity. Usually those are associated w/ men’s desires, but in our day & age women are not looked down on for pursuing it. The cherry blossoms (chest) symbolize renewal.

Lastly, on her chest (though covered w/ hair), says: “Tradition is the illusion of permanence”. I chose this as it is fitting for the theme of traditions changing. We feel attachment to them but there are some traditions that are good, & there are also bad ones that must be changed. We must understand that times change & the only permanent thing is change itself, & instead of holding on to the past we must try our best despite the circumstances to appreciate & improve what we have right now.

while discourse about how modern wojaks are just retreaded rage comics is valid,it misses the crucial nuance of pain baked into the wojak. Rage comics express the fullness of human experience, be it joy, anger, despair, befuddlement. Wojaks exist as an expression of suffering first and foremost, and variations are mutations upon that central theme. Even those that are made to be desirable, like doomer girl or trad gf, only exist to inflict suffering upon more traditional wojaks. It’s a subtle but crucial context that trying to recreate the memes in rage comics misses
