A type of meme used online as a reaction to a social media post, mostly used on Twitter. Reaction memes can be in the form of images, videos, or gifs. They are typically used in comedic ways, and most people believe that using them in serious situations is a shitty thing to do.
Reaction memes also come in two types: Normal, and cringe. Normal memes typically feature a person or cartoon character reacting with a certain emotion depending on whatever it is that they’re reacting to. Cringe memes typically feature a cartoon or video game character looking at the camera and saying some corny shit like “Aight bro, that’s it. Give me your phone.” as a response to someone saying something weird. Cringe memes hit their peak in popularity on Twitter in 2020, but thankfully, cringe memes are slowly being used less and less, and nowadays you really only find them in the Animation Twitter Community. Don’t be like them.

It's not all reaction content and you are all perfectly fine with participating in reaction content. The entire right wing media space is filled entirely by reaction content.
Hym "It's not just the reaction content I'm known for. It's also conceiving of the high volume content dump (Which was a bot network that clips and dumps out short form content that circumvents copyright which is an idea that predates TikTok) that people use to this day. I'm literally the forefather of the thing that YOU FUCKING USE to increase your own status. The status you use as shield to avoid engagement with people you've deluded yourself into believing are your lessers. And my behavior is telling the truth and allowing myself to be performatively cannibalized while working 40 hours a week."
