Ruin My Week
Because it involves e-girls and podcasters this is a meme collection for the extremely online. If that’s not you, you should probably go and play with a kitten or something, but if you’ve already given your soul to Twitter and Reddit, read on.
The meme fuse was lit just a few days ago when Twitter user @nickusen sent out a composite image from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the accompanying text “e-girl and her podcaster boyfriend.”
All you need to know to understand this meme is that people have certain preconceived notions about so-called e-girls and about podcasters. Rightly or wrongly the e-girl is viewed as some graceful, ethereal creature while her podcaster boyfriend is an inexplicably schlubby troll. Because the internet is both a vindictive and self-loathing place the meme quickly went viral with images of all sorts of famous and non-famous couples being paired with the text.
The ones that involve fictional characters are particularly good. And I say that as someone who listens to a lot of podcasts.
