Representation of How Misinformation Spreads
Overview
This is a single-panel meme on a plain white background. The fully drawn Pokemon character Bulbasaur stands on the left side of the frame, facing right with a calm, slight smile. Only a tiny partial sliver of a purple shape, implied to be another character, is visible at the far right edge of the frame, intentionally cut off. The visual demonstrates how misinformation spreads: audiences are only given an incomplete, partial view of a subject, leading to unfounded assumptions, rumors, and incorrect information being shared as fact.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, where it was shared with the stated theme of illustrating the mechanism of misinformation spread by showing intentionally partial content to viewers.
