A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Gross as in, you're changing the face that someone is presenting to the world, because you think you know better than they do how they should present themselves.
What the fuck? Are you saying the app like sends the result to the person, and says SEE?!? I think it just shows the user a picture, tbh. But yeah it's probably not super accurate anyway.
Who better? Anyone who is not you, because anyone else would know not to say anything because nothing needs to be said.
So if I go out wearing a Star Trek and encounter someone who wants to meet a Star Wars fan, then I'm in the wrong for choosing that shirt?
You're not wrong, you're simply not what they prefered. If you were, then they would have had a better experience. Why did being right or wrong enter the conversation?
So they would have a better experience encountering a Star Trek fan posing as a Star Wars fan?
If they wanted to meet a Star Trek fan posing as a Star Wars fan, then yes.
So as a Star Trek fan, I should dress up as a Star Wars fan to please the Star Wars fans looking for Star Trek fans posting as Star Wars fans? Regardless of my desire to pretend to be a Star Wars fan and get into all the interactions that entails? I don't know if you see yet why people find this objectionable.
Should? There you go making it about right and wrong again. It's not about should, it's about if. If you did, then they'd have a better experience of you. If you care about that, then go do so. If not, then don't. But they still get to express themselves on the subject, like any person does about their experiences.
It's very easy to find something objectionable when you intentionally make into something objectionable.
If one should not do the better thing, then I don't know what "better" means.
Maybe it's clearer if I use the same vocabulary as you:
That's the entire point. I know what I want. You don't know that about me. All you can know is what you want.
Ppl do the not better thing all the time. Doesn't make them wrong or right.
Its better, for the fan. Not necessarily for you.
