The 'Welcome to the Gang' meme, also known as 'Crimes Johnson,' is based on a 2017 comic by artist Shen Comix. It depicts a group of hardened criminals in a prison cell welcoming a new inmate. When the newcomer reveals his 'crime,' it is consistently something so bizarre, controversial, or morally questionable that even the veteran criminals are visibly shaken and move away in fear. The meme has become a staple for highlighting unpopular opinions, weird food habits, or social taboos. By modifying the dialogue, users can turn any minor transgression into a 'heinous' act that makes Crimes Johnson himself tremble.
