The Cultural Appropriation meme typically satirizes the disconnect between online activists and the actual members of a culture. Most commonly appearing in a multi-panel comic format, it features a person of one background being outraged on behalf of another, while the person representing that culture expresses that they actually appreciate the interest or fashion choice. It gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit as a way to mock performative activism or over-policing of cultural exchange. In meme culture, it is used to highlight the absurdity of modern social discourse, often pointing out how global appreciation is sometimes mistaken for disrespect.
