The 'Shuffles Deck, Pulls Card' meme is a popular internet format used to criticize individuals or organizations for relying on a rotating set of predictable, often nonsensical excuses or accusations. Typically presented as a two-panel comic, the first image shows a person shuffling a deck of cards labeled with various buzzwords, while the second shows them drawing a specific 'card' that represents their reaction to a situation. It gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit as a way to mock media outlets, political pundits, or specific fanbases for their perceived lack of originality or logical consistency. The meme thrives on irony, highlighting how certain reactions seem almost randomly selected from a pre-determined pile of tropes.
