Schrödinger’s Irony 

Schrödinger’s Irony is when a meme is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive. The OP of the meme decides if it was ironic or not based on the reception it gets, thus being ironic and non-ironic at the same time.
“It’s Schrödinger’s Irony! My meme is racist and not funny, you say? Well then it was merely ironic!”
