Named after Nathan Poe who formulated it in 2005 on a Christian forums site, Poe's Law is an internet adage describing the difficulty of distinguishing between sincere extremism and its parody without clear indicators like emojis. It has become a cornerstone of internet culture, particularly in political and religious discussions where opinions often border on the absurd. Users employ this meme to mock the lack of nuance in online debates or to point out when someone has unintentionally fallen for a satirical 'bait' post, making it a versatile tool for commentary on the state of digital communication.
