Somehow I find the photo of a muscle guy with no clothes insulting for an "office" story.
It is just so disconnected from each other?
OP sees the malicious compliance as a "chad" move, hence the use of Giga Chad meme.
Maybe, but I seriously doubt most office people find a ribbed extreme muscle guy representative of office workers. And especially not the women.
It's not about representation, it's a symbol for being cool, visually unrelated to the person you're calling a chad. And it's intentionally extreme.
jesse what the fuck are you on about
Sorry but giga chad doesnt come with noodle arms and a pouch :/
"You" created it, you say?
I willed it into existence by utilizing another non-organic entity to manifest it.
And I am a real person. Thus the "" are falsely used.
Better use them this way: "Created"
Cool drawing. 👍
Except part of the issue was the naked part.
He should wear a shirt, or other form of typical office clothing.
AI slop
Ok Karen.
That's the Chad meme guy.
And? Does that make it better or worse? Personally I don't give a shit that he is a meme guy I knew that, but he is not the right meme guy for this sort of meme IMO.
Memes are conceptual not literal
That's mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or more accurately by imitation.
I read the book where Richard Dawkins coined the term.
A key feature about a true meme is that it can evolve, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed. to use the drawing u/Appoxo made for me.
It's a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.
I can't possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.
Except it's not really malicious compliance, it's just compliance.
Not a single muscle was flexed.
The muscle of the Union.
Its not malicious compliance to hang up on a customer in the middle of a call, or ignore other customers calling during business hours because your boss mandates you take lunch at an exact time? Whatever you say, buddy.
