Well Jow Forums it was brought to my attention that the left is trying to meme this mascot. It is actually very memey. The thick lips and big eyes are reminiscent of Pepe, yet the bright orange conflicts it perfectly. What should we do about this? Could this be potentially dangerous? The left can't meme due to its inability to concisely present an idea. This is short, sweet and retarded. Everything a meme needs. Am I overreacting? Or do we need to squash this before it gets too big?
Will post some memes of it, so you get a better idea.
>wait for it to get popular >dedicated Jow Forums drawfags mass-produce pictures of him lynching blacks, executing muslims, etc >it dies
carry on as usual hans

>trying to meme as left a mascot from NHL >One of the most whites sports in the planet except from that black guy
what did they mean by this?

I see fags post this all the time. It’s a low quality shitty leftist meme. Basically they ripped of Saul and the molemen and just rebranded it because they can’t come up with anything creative.
They’re really unoriginal. You think the side that has basically all the artists would be more creative. We should make art of it lynching blacks or attacking Vietnamese children
you're prolly right. Didn't see any threads on it, so I thought I'd made a quick one to bring some attention to it. If noone seems too concerned, just let the thread die. Just wanted Jow Forums to stay informed.

This is why they will lose indefinitely So easily subverted
Crowdfund and pay a Jow Forums drawfag I guess. All the “art” they do is a copy of someone else or a “rendition” of the classics with that (((epleic))) spin for progressive values. I would want to see him gassing People and punching trashcans.
Justin Miller
it's even a copy of the "I've only killed communists" quote
they always say how they're the creative ones but they do very little to show it

The strongest weapon against the "left" is to ignore them. Most of the things they do now is to get their antagonists attention to play their own game, because they realize they pushed way too many people away. Just look how they try to bombard forums and boards they don't like spewing bile and not even trying to convice or debate with anyone... When people ignore them they go mad, when they get many replies they become smug. Because that's all they want. Attention.
That’s what I usually do when I see their memes and posts. I just save and move on so I can archive the “right think”. The left has pushed normal people away and they’re trying to pull the narrative back. Still this one was pretty bad as a propoganda tool.
Attach undeniable facts about communist atrocities to pictures of Gritty's deranged, swivel-eyed face. Think the Bert and Ernie memes but less endearing. Play up the similarities between Gritty's bulging-eyed, wild-haired appearance and Marxist thought leaders like Marx, Trotsky, Stalin, etc.
Wtf is that shit ? This looks so retarded it made me laugh. I am unsure you can carry a message with this...thing.

You don't seem to understand how memetics work. We don't "squash" anything before it gets too big. What makes a good meme is the fact that it picks up naturally, it's a wholly organic process fueled by the lols. I can tell you right now this meme will not live longer than it's desperate creators have the energy to force it. We all know how forced memes are; someone comes up with a bad idea and keeps trying to popularize it; it doesn't work, they get tired, the meme disappears. This is an unoriginal and, frankly, a pretty pointless meme. They just need a face to say "I hate those other guys", and after this passes it will briefly be some other face. We keep winning in memetics because it is, for us, a joyous and creative process.

I understand why Jow Forums doesn't like communism, but why do those guys not like fascism
Alexander Reyes
get a load of this shit >chaos god it's actually fucking pathetic
Someone post the UNA Bomber manifesto, particularly the part about his "insights into leftist psychology". Basically, fascism is the admiration and idealization of strength, beauty and truth; the point made in the manifesto is the left's miserable self-identification with the underdog, whether it's cripples, ethnic minorities or whatever; this justifies their hatred against the patriarchy and all else they subconsciously label as "powerful"; being so painstakingly aware of their moral impotence, the only solution for them is to remove those morally superior so their fallen state would not be so sharply contrasted. If you destroy the idea of virtue, vice becomes meaningless and accepted. Ted put it much better in his writing though.

It's too much like a bad parody of itself to not make me feel sorry for whoever thought this would be memeworthy.
It has all the components. It just doesn't have soul, you know? Even forced memes have something aligned to reality, and thus funny cuz it's true. This is missing just that one thing.
it's because the character itself is likely the product of a marketing firm/focus group process that invariably creates something sterile, unoffensive but vaguely endearing and they just latched onto it and attempted to inject meaning to something that has zero lore or context.
a few years ago when /leftypol/ tried to force that pigeon/shit dove meme. they posted ecstatic threads they posted saying WE FINALLY HAVE OUR OWN PEPE! and tumblr drawfags went to work making smug iterations and the like and yet it sputtered out after barely a week. i'm sure that saga unfolded multiple times but since /leftypol/ is long dead i'm not aware of what other shit is out there but gritty is just a dud from out the gate. once they stop having fun making stupid image macros and shopping it onto images of stalingrad or whatever it'll fade into the abyss like everything else they've ever tried.

pretty much this anything lefties make popular anons will ruin it's the leftist meme's natural life cycle

to be fair he does look like a bolshevik. the hair. the empty soulless eyes.

this. You know they lost when they start quoting a commie killer's words as they'e own.

So we're Elmo's hippie cousin now?
Good god.

I don't know why, but it just seems cringy when the message is an Antifa message.
It would probably not be so gay & cringy if it was a far right message.
Why don't we help them? The left can't meme, so antifa can't effectively spread its message: that they are the foot soldiers of the left, that they regularly commit political violence, and their ultimate goal is violent socialist revolution.
Gritty's the perfect symbol for deranged leftist violence. Look at that face. That's the face of something that's ready to kick garbage cans, break windows, and light fires. That's the guy who's going to stand in the street to block traffic, then when a car stops so it won't hurt the people standing illegally in the road, start beating on it with clubs and try to pull the driver out into the mob. That is clearly a creature wearing panties over a $4 plastic chastity device from China under its pants and hoping that it'll meet a girl with a bald head and hairy armpits who's into pegging at the riot.
