Since when were memes exclusively meant to make you laugh? Memes have always been a means of societal commentary, think Rage Comics and AdviceAnimals plenty of the most famous ones talk about very real issues.

Even something as simple as the "This is fine" meme could be considered "not funny" in the same way this meme is "not funny" depending on how it's used.

The "meme" is not exclusive to me. What made you have that idea?
