Overview
This is a three-panel meme using the iconic afterlife King's Cross station scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The first panel displays a charred, skeletal human corpse overlaid with Reddit's karma UI showing a net score of -667562, meaning the associated user received an extremely high number of downvotes. The second panel features Harry Potter looking concerned, with overlaid text reading 'WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?'. The third panel shows Albus Dumbledore responding with the text 'He forgot to type /s.'. The joke references the widespread Reddit convention of adding /s to the end of comments to explicitly mark them as sarcasm; failing to use this tag often leads other users to misinterpret sarcastic comments as genuine, resulting in mass downvotes that severely reduce a user's karma.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit, where it was posted to meme-focused subreddits. It remixes a well-known scene from the Harry Potter film franchise, adding Reddit-specific UI elements and references to the platform's common sarcasm tag convention to create a joke about the risks of miscommunicating tone in text-based online discussions.
