    So when other posters use this meme template as I did, based on the original intent, do you hyper analyze the still in that context as well? I mean, I’m just posting a meme stating I did my part today, did you do yours?

    Sometimes a meme is just a fucking meme.

    From knowyourmeme:

    About “I’m Doing My Part!” is an exploitable image macro and GIF taken from a military recruitment commercial within the 1997 film Starship Troopers. The GIF and image are widely used as a reaction in both serious and ironic contexts to illustrate that individual actions are contributing to a larger movement, trend or cause.

      You’re right, it’s only pretending to not have context.

      I think it’s fairly apt, to be honest, just apparently not the way you appear to have intended or been aware of.

      Personally, I only ever remember seeing that meme for destructive activities.

      But people do use that “I sense it’s afraid” one very badly once in a while. And yeah, people do almost always complain.
