Problematic Makeup Removing App 'MakeApp' Triggers Backlash

This meme combines a news article screenshot and a tweet to critique the 'MakeApp,' a purported makeup removing app. The news headline claims the app 'caused mass triggering' and shows a split image of a woman: left with makeup (smiling, glamorous) and right without (labeled 'MAKEAPP,' neutral expression). Below is an angry tweet from Ana Kasparian (@AnaKasparian) denouncing users who sent her edited photos from the app, calling it 'sexist' and怒斥 them. The meme aligns with the original title 'Makeup is a lie' by satirizing the app's premise of 'exposing' makeup-free faces while highlighting backlash against its misuse.

Overview

This meme combines a news article screenshot and a tweet to critique the 'MakeApp,' a purported makeup removing app. The news headline claims the app 'caused mass triggering' and shows a split image of a woman: left with makeup (smiling, glamorous) and right without (labeled 'MAKEAPP,' neutral expression). Below is an angry tweet from Ana Kasparian (@AnaKasparian) denouncing users who sent her edited photos from the app, calling it 'sexist' and怒斥 them. The meme aligns with the original title 'Makeup is a lie' by satirizing the app's premise of 'exposing' makeup-free faces while highlighting backlash against its misuse.

Origin notes

The image originates from 9Gag, as specified. It is a user-created collage combining a screenshot of a 2017 news article from InformationLiberation (authored by Chris Menahan) and a tweet from Ana Kasparian. The news article and tweet are edited together to emphasize the controversy around 'MakeApp,' likely to mock societal perceptions of makeup and app-driven body shaming. The original scene (woman's photo) appears altered by the app, making the right image not from the original red carpet scene.

This image is a screenshot of two consecutive public tweets from the same Twitter user @heysegs. The first original tweet, posted at 11:24 PM on 27 December 2019 via Twitter for iPhone, reads: 'sleeping around in your 20's has consequences later on in life, don't let society fool you.' It received 348 retweets and 1,124 likes. The second follow-up tweet from the same user, posted 17 hours later, reads: 'I wanna know how women got triggered by this tweet when this wasn't gender specific. I am confusion.' This follow-up received 8 comments, 14 retweets, and 112 likes. The comedic core of the meme comes from highlighting the implicit gendered assumption readers made: the original statement was not targeted at any specific gender, but many women interpreted it as a criticism aimed at them, leading to offended reactions. The user expresses confusion at this unintended targeted interpretation of their general statement.

This is a two-part reaction meme. The top text presents a recent news point: that over 20,000 public comments submitted to oppose clean air regulations were fraudulently generated by AI using stolen real people's identities, with no official investigation launched into the incident. The lower section features a widely used reaction image of singer Sabrina Carpenter with a confused, disgusted grimace in front of a glittery gold microphone, with overlaid text reading 'Is that your culture? i don't like it.' The meme communicates disbelief, disapproval, and frustration at the lack of action taken against this large-scale AI-powered identity fraud aimed at derailing environmental protections.

This is a screenshot of a viral Twitter thread turned meme. The top post from the verified New York Post account announces an unnamed 19-year-old as 2020's 'Most Beautiful woman in the world', paired with a portrait photo of the woman. Twitter user @ToniaCamille (Camillelam) replies to disagree with the claim, saying 'I beg to differ' and posting her own portrait photo to imply she is more beautiful than the selected woman. A third user Vincent replies to both users with the punchline 'you gonna be begging for a while', agreeing that Camille is more attractive, creating a funny joke pushing back against mainstream media's beauty picks.

This meme features a real woman taking a mirror selfie, smiling warmly at the camera. The original photo has been edited to crudely draw a pink cropped t-shirt and blue pants over her body. The accompanying text at the top reads: 'When her nudes are trash, so you draw clothes back on her and send them back'. The humor stems from the absurd, petty reaction to receiving unappealing explicit photos, framing the act of drawing clothes as a dismissive, comedic response to low-quality nudes, playing on relatable dating awkwardness and silly relationship jokes.

The image is a screenshot of a verified X/Twitter post. The post text humorously articulates a common relatable frustration with opening up about personal feelings: after sharing your emotions, the negative feelings do not go away, and now other people are aware of them, which the poster jokingly complains is an unfair outcome. The profile picture of the post author, Josh Gondelman, is visible in the top left corner alongside his verified account handle.

This is a screenshot-style meme of a social media user profile. It features a circular profile photo of a light-haired woman wearing a dark blue top, facing the camera with a faint neutral smile. Below the photo, the user's public display name is written as 'Dani G. German', with the account handle '@daniggerman' directly underneath. The comedic, awkward joke comes from the lack of spacing in the handle: concatenating the user's first name, middle initial, and last name without breaks inserts the highly offensive racial slur 'nigger' in the middle of the handle entirely by accident.

The meme depicts a middle-aged man seated in a wooden chair within a casual domestic setting, featuring a wooden floor, a closed cabinet, and a stone fireplace in the background. He wears a light blue sweater and dark pants, displaying a neutral, slightly deadpan expression. Dominating the image is a large, bold white text overlay that reads: 'LIFE IS SHORT. MAKE SURE YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE ON THE INTERNET ARGUING WITH STRANGERS ABOUT POLITICS.' The humor arises from the sarcastic inversion of the common motivational phrase 'life is short,' which typically encourages meaningful experiences, here subverted to mock the triviality of unproductive online political debates with strangers.
