Explanation of Meme
This meme was meant to express the frustration I get trying to have meaningful discussions about fictional media with people online. I saw this painting and felt it align with my exasperation on a spiritual level, especially the almost melted, stringy, and haphazard look of the painting. You can still make out the shape of the female subject, but all the parts of her sort of melt into one another. That represents exactly how I feel asking people to look deeper than what the creators literally present to us. All of this effort and energy is futile against the sort of people who consider any work not led by a white cishet guy to be "woke propaganda" being shoved into their faces. It's as tiring as the mood of the painting. I especially like the use of the deep, cool color for the background which really solidifies the mood of the piece and my general disappointment interacting in certain online space.

Alternative Text
[Begin Alt Text: This image is a meme with the words "TFW...you mistakenly start a convo requiring media literacy with a dude that calls minority-led productions 'woke propaganda'". The picture in the background is the painting, The Vampire II by Edward Munch. The painting depicts a red-haired woman with her head turned downward in a pose that looks like she is sitting and leaning her frame onto the arm of a couch. The image is cut at the bust, with a completely dark green background. The art style is a blend of melted, stringy, and sketchy. End Alt Text.]
