    I have a hard time enjoying this meme because it’s dumb and unfunny. It’s peak le epic Reddit thing that we all agree to care about even if no one actually vares about that ape.

      That’s just how memes work, no? Something random gets repeated and evolved. It’s funny because its a random occurrence that didn’t really affect anything. But we can play with it as if it did. Like moving a mug in a time travel movie changes the universe.

      It’s an absurd and sad situation that gathered enough attention to become a meme. I for my part enjoy some Harambe memes now and then.

      I never got the joke anyway. We wouldn’t go “dicks out for Navalny” or some other recently deceased famous person. It’s not very tastefull regardless
