Straw meme 

Similar to the straw man argument, a straw meme is a logical fallacy presented in image form. Typical use is to assign misrepresented, exaggerated or completely false characteristics to an opposing viewpoint and then attack these characteristics instead of the actual viewpoint.

Typically, straw memes are met with supporting arguments such as, "sooooooo truuu!!!" and, "i'm steelin this!"
Straw meme examples:

Oh, you think (example A) because (example B)? Tell me more about (unrelated example C)!!!

If you're ok with (example A) but don't like (unrelated example B), then you're a hypocrite!!! Share if you agree.

platforming strawmen 

Pretty much how the internet started to work once it was accepted that you can kick out people that don't agree with you from your online community. As a result of a culture of 'de-platforming' and censorship, what actually started to happen was that people started to platform "strawman" - intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat rather than engaging with an opponent's real argument - instead.
"Internet today is just a bunch of platforming strawmen"
