In this post I track the development of a meme. I may sound theoretical and profound, but the entire framework of this exercise is only based on an excerpt from this guide to some fruity way to live life at a higher level.

The excerpt:

6. Like all things, memes fit better with some things than others. Some memes naturally fit better in people’s minds. Some memes naturally fit better with other memes. When a group of memes fit well together and pull the strings of someone’s mouth and vocal cords so that they pass them on to others, a new, self-replicating thing gets created. The new thing is called a memeplex.

Self-replication is the most powerful force in the universe. One person tells two, two tell four, four tell eight, and pretty soon the whole universe is full of people sharing the memeplex.

Sometimes a self-replicating memeplex makes a mistake in copying itself. The memeplex with a mistake in it will either be better, worse, or the same at making copies of itself. If it’s better soon there will be more copies of the new memeplex than the old in the universe.

The only way for a new idea to gain acceptance is by a series of copying mistakes that turn out to be better after all.

And,

8. Every new idea we think of immediately becomes transformed by copying mistakes that change it into something that is better at making copies of itself after all. A key part of the idea may be sacrificed to something better for copying.

The only control we have over the spread of our ideas is in making them as resistant to copying mistakes as possible.

Okay, so let’s pretend that the quotes above are actually true. Now let’s look at this meme that I’ve been following, and have used in a few occasions:

“coming harder than omo”

It contains the ff. elements:

• An orgasm (the objective of most sexual activities)
• Omo (the blogger from the Omonomono blog)

The context for the meme developing finds its genesis in the comments section of this post on Owen’s Cruel Angel Theses blog, which accused omo of being a poseur for playing games and watching anime raw (unsubbed). Big drama in the comments section. Lelangir caught on and gave us this:

See the full comic here. Epic aniblogger metacomedy is epic. The statement actually reads “I already came.” However, the elements are the same: 1. Orgasm, 2. Omo. This gets copied, in sequence, several times:

1. 21stcenturydigital boy, no stranger to aniblogger metasex (lelangir documents his tryst with Omisyth here) posted some pornographic Toradora! fanfic which elicited a comment from lelangir himself:

I came harder than omo.

2. These came out on the same day.

1st example:

1. Everyone came harder than omo.

2. Have you Come Harder Than Omo Yet?

3. @ghostlightning: best aniblog meme to date, gotta thank all the good folks involved for that.

   @lelangir: I’m going to have to find some way of putting that into KYOUSORA.COM as a tagline or something. It’s too genius.

MOAR porn. I didn’t go where you went with Ryuji and Taiga, but you know I boned the shit out of Kinon.

Mix anime characters and add bloggers into it. That’ll mess things up quite nicely and everyone can come harder than omo.

Now it can be argued that the repeaters of the meme are forcing it. It doesn’t matter for the purposes of this post that the meme is forced. Looking back at the fruity guide to meme development: in copying the proto-meme, we were all doing it wrong. It is mistakes like this that stick. We now end up with a meme “coming harder than omo” that means what exactly? Not quite sure yet, but I’m very interested to find out.

Dr. lolikit sez:

If we apply lolikitean cryptology to “came harder than omo,” well, we come harder than omo. And because I’m a practicer of schadenfaggen, I don’t intend to share that with all of you. Gweheheh.

For now… go stand in the hallway.

P.S. Here’s to looking at a small blue bird, kid.

Madame lolikappa moans:

Furthermore, we are already beginning to see the way the meme is evolving. Originally it only applied to single people coming harder than omo, but is now increasing in number, spreading to meta-omogasmic aniblogger orgies. Clearly, the meme is well on its way to self-sufficiency, as it strives to find the form of maximum repetition. By switching to a multi-aniblogger mode, it broadens its potential contextuality; anibloggers can refer to entire teamblogs of anibloggers coming harder than omo simultaneously, in a single instance of the meme.

In conclusion, fuck you all, you’re all just goddamn membots, completely co-opted by the meta. You’re one epicly stupid meme away from being memeoids. Watch your asses.

Comrade ghostlightning Re-claims, In Conclusion:

Had to be done, after such an inconclusive attempt at a conclusion. That said, lolikappa’s use of a maho shoujo wand and a dance sequence turning all of you into memecha titillates me into hoping for another memetic neon genesis. See what we did here! In tracking the development of a forced meme we’re forcing an entirely new one! I think I just came harder than omo. This post is omosexual.

As some of you realized, I made a bold move two posts ago. I drew up and posted my conception of lolikitsune, a maybe-trap-maybe-not loli with fox tail, giving an inelegant finger to anyone and everyone.

DiGiKerot was the first person to do the necessary: he drew fanart.

Following in his footsteps were anonymous and o.s.k., both of whom decided that Rule 34 is a necessary evil item. Both images are NSFW: lolikit rule 34 by anonymous, nanoha x lolikit by o.s.k.. Don’t get me wrong—being crossed with my favorite anime girl ever is not the worst thing that could happen to me. It’s just… Rule 34. lolikit. If you know me in real life, you’re gouging out your eyeballs.

EDIT: apparently, if you know me in real life, you’re drawing your own fanart.

EDIT 2: apparently, if you know me in real life, and if you’re totally fucked up, you’re… … I don’t know what you’re smoking, but whatever it is, it’s strong.

o.s.k. just did to me as Zero did to Orange-kun by writing a fanfic for Kyousora.com that involves Mizunashi Akari of Aria. Rule 14 has decimated my country, salted my fields, and yelled 187 on my mother-fucking corpse. For those unfamiliar with the navigation of Kyousora.com, basically what you want to do is this: click on the “YFR” link on the right side of the main page. Then look at the number in the upper or lower right-hand corners of the main box—it should say “X of 11. Refresh to view MOAR.” And yes, you guessed right—if you don’t land on #11 the first time, just keep refreshing until you reach it.

above pic slightly obsolete, shows “of 9″ instead of “of 11″ but otherwise accurate

o.s.k. is “orangesqueeze-kun.” o.s.k. may or may not be eligible to join the all-girls’ aniblogging round robin. o.s.k. seems to have made it his/her life-long mission to rape all the things I hold dear and precious. o.s.k. does not have a URI. o.s.k. may or may not be one of my whores. o.s.k. is not anonymous.
