1. 2007 - Vlogbrothers and Nerdfighteria. Date: 1 January 2007 · Place: YouTube, broadcast from Indianapolis and Missoula · Figures: John Green, novelist · Hank Green, musician and educator · Tags: Vlog, Community, Earnest 01. Brotherhood 2.0 On 1 January 2007 the novelist John Green and his brother Hank Green begin a year-long project called Brotherhood 2.0. Every weekday one brother posts a video to the other, with no textual communication allowed. The format outlasts the year and continues as Vlogbrothers, now nearly two decades on. The audience self-identifies as Nerdfighters and the imagined community as Nerdfighteria. Its rallying slogan is to decrease worldsuck. 02. The Earnest Counterprogramming Vlogbrothers establishes a model of YouTube creator culture explicitly opposed to ironic detachment: high-information, dense-edit, civic-minded. It spawns VidCon (founded 2010), the Crash Course education channel (2011), and the Project for Awesome charity fundraiser (annual from 2007). The channel is the proof that the platform can sustain long-form intellectual community, not only viral comedy. Most of the early YouTube education economy descends from it.

2. 2007 - Soulja Boy, Crank That. Date: 2 May 2007 · Place: Batesville, Mississippi, then YouTube and MySpace · Figures: DeAndre Cortez Way aka Soulja Boy, performer · Tags: Native Internet Music, Dance Tutorial, Soundclick 01. A Sixteen Year Old Distributing Through SoundClick DeAndre Cortez Way, sixteen and recording in Batesville, Mississippi, releases Crank That (Soulja Boy) through SoundClick in 2007 and uploads the dance tutorial to YouTube on 2 May 2007. The instrumental is built in FL Studio using a steel drum preset from the free Fruity DrumSynth Live plugin. The song reaches number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 15 September 2007 and stays there for seven weeks, the first song to do so on the basis of independent online distribution before label signing. 02. The First Native-Internet Pop Star Soulja Boy proves the YouTube-MySpace-SoundClick stack can produce a chart-topping hit without traditional radio or A&R infrastructure. The accompanying dance, demonstrated in his tutorial video, becomes the first widely-imitated viral dance, a format every subsequent platform from Vine to TikTok inherits. He is the prototype the industry studies for the next decade as it attempts to engineer what he produced alone.

3. 2007 - Success Kid. Date: photo 26 August 2007, meme circulation by 2010 · Place: Jones Beach State Park, New York · Figures: Sammy Griner, eleven-month-old subject · Laney Griner, photographer and mother · Justin Griner, father · Tags: Advice Animal, Photo Macro 01. Eleven Months Old Eating Sand On 26 August 2007 Laney Griner photographs her eleven month old son Sammy at Jones Beach State Park on Long Island, New York. Sammy holds a fistful of sand and makes a clenched-fist expression of pure determination. Laney uploads the photo to Flickr the same day. By 2010 the cropped image, often captioned I Hate Sandcastles or simply paired with a moment of small triumph, is circulating widely as an image macro. The character is named Success Kid. 02. Kidney Transplant And Trademark In 2015 the Griner family raises 100,000 dollars through a GoFundMe to fund a kidney transplant for Justin Griner, Sammy's father. The campaign goes viral on the back of the meme's recognition. Laney Griner secures trademark control of the image. In 2020 she pursues a successful cease-and-desist against U.S. Representative Steve King's campaign for unauthorized use, establishing a precedent for meme-subject control.

4. 2008 - Philosoraptor. Date: January 2008 · Place: Atlanta, Georgia, then LolDinosaurs.com · Figures: Sam Smith aka LandsharkRides, illustrator · Tags: Image Macro, Stock Character 01. A T-Shirt Design Sam Smith, an Atlanta-based designer working under the name LandsharkRides, draws a velociraptor with one claw pensively raised to its chin in January 2008. The image is first sold as a t-shirt design on LaughingSquid and his personal store. It is lifted to LolDinosaurs.com and then to 4chan, where users overlay the standard Impact font with self-undermining philosophical questions. The character is named Philosoraptor. 02. The Stoner Syllogism Format Philosoraptor captions follow a strict grammar of pseudo-paradox: If poison expires, is it more poisonous or no longer poisonous? The format is the first stock-character image macro to spawn a recognizable genre of recursive logical-joke writing. Smith trademarks the character in 2012 after years of unauthorized merchandise. The trademark is upheld and Smith continues to license the image.

5. 2008 - Trollface. Date: 19 September 2008 · Place: deviantART · Figures: Carlos Ramirez aka Whynne, illustrator · Tags: Rage Face, deviantART, Trolling Iconography 01. Coolface Posted To deviantART Carlos Ramirez, an eighteen year old Oakland art student posting as Whynne, uploads a comic titled Trolls to deviantART on 19 September 2008. The final panel features a face with a sinister wide grin, half-closed eyes, and the caption Problem? The face, sometimes called Coolface in its early circulation, is lifted to 4chan and YouTube comment sections within weeks. It becomes the universal pictograph for trolling intent. 02. The Iconography Of Bad Faith Trollface fixes a vocabulary. To troll is no longer abstract; it has a face. The grin is appropriated for everything from anti-piracy memes to political graffiti, eventually appearing on hand-painted signs at protests in Egypt and Hong Kong. Ramirez registers the copyright in 2010 and successfully pursues unauthorized commercial use, earning a reported six-figure income from licensing through the 2010s.

6. 2008 - Boxxy. Date: 27 October 2008 · Place: YouTube, recorded in Bishop, California · Figures: Catherine Wayne aka Catie, performer · Tags: Webcam Girl, 4chan Worship, Parasocial 01. A Teenage Girl Says Hi To Gaia On 27 October 2008 fourteen-year-old Catherine Wayne uploads a webcam introduction to the social network Gaia Online under the username Boxxybabee. The video, two minutes of caffeinated direct address with thick eyeliner, migrates to YouTube in January 2009 and is discovered by 4chan's /b/ board. Wayne is declared empress of /b/. A faction war breaks out between users who love her and users who hate that other users love her. The board is briefly taken offline by the volume of activity. 02. The First Parasocial Object Boxxy is the prototype of the audience-captured webcam girl, a figure later iterated as the YouTuber, the streamer, the TikToker. Wayne herself goes silent for years to escape the harassment, then returns in 2010 with the channel ANewHopeee on her own terms. She is also the first internet celebrity whose fame is openly understood by its participants as a sociological event about themselves, not about her. "Hi, I'm Boxxy, and you be Boxxy too!", Boxxybabee, Gaia introduction video, 27 October 2008 Sources • KnowYourMeme, 'Boxxy' • Encyclopedia Dramatica, 'Boxxy' (archived 2009-2012) • The Daily Dot, 'The Strange Saga of Boxxy' (24 January 2014)

8. 2009 - Susan Boyle, Britain's Got Talent. Date: 11 April 2009 · Place: Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland, broadcast on ITV · Figures: Susan Boyle, singer · Simon Cowell, judge · Piers Morgan, judge · Amanda Holden, judge · Tags: Television Viral, Earnest Performance 01. I Dreamed A Dream On ITV On 11 April 2009 the third series of Britain's Got Talent broadcasts the audition of Susan Boyle, a forty-seven year old unemployed Scottish woman from Blackburn. The judges and audience visibly expect a poor performance. Boyle sings I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables. The clip is uploaded to YouTube the same evening. Within nine days it has been viewed 100 million times across multiple uploads, the fastest accumulation of internet video views to that point. 02. The Algorithm Of Lowered Expectations Boyle's moment formalizes a viral story structure: setup the audience for failure, deliver competence, document the visible reversal of judgment. The structure is replicated, often cynically, by talent shows worldwide. Boyle releases six albums, the first of which is the best-selling debut by a UK artist in history. She is later open about her Asperger's diagnosis, received in 2012.

9. 2009 - Slenderman. Date: 10 June 2009 · Place: Something Awful forums, Create Paranormal Images thread · Figures: Eric Knudsen aka Victor Surge, creator · Tags: Creepypasta, Collaborative Folklore, Something Awful 01. Two Photoshopped Black And White Photographs On 10 June 2009 Eric Knudsen, posting as Victor Surge on the Something Awful forums, contributes two black and white photographs to a thread titled Create Paranormal Images. Each shows children with a tall, thin, faceless figure in a black suit standing behind them. The captions reference disappearances. The character has no name in the original post. Knudsen calls him The Slender Man in a follow-up reply two days later. 02. The First Collaboratively Authored Internet Monster Slenderman becomes the first widely-adopted collaborative folklore figure of the internet, mythology built additively by thousands of unaffiliated writers, video makers, and artists. The Marble Hornets YouTube series, launched June 2009, develops the canon. The video game Slender: The Eight Pages establishes the gameplay template. In May 2014 two twelve year old girls in Waukesha, Wisconsin stab a classmate citing Slenderman as motivation. The case forces a public reckoning with creepypasta culture and the limits of folklore liability. HBO produces the 2016 documentary Beware the Slenderman.

10. 2009 - Annoying Orange. Date: 9 October 2009 · Place: YouTube, produced in Bakersfield, California · Figures: Dane Boedigheimer, creator and voice · Tags: Kidcore, Live Action Animation, Pre-Algorithm 01. A Citrus Heckles A Knife On 9 October 2009 Dane Boedigheimer uploads The Annoying Orange, a four-minute video in which a CGI face composited onto a real orange torments other produce until a chef kills it. The video accumulates over one hundred million views and spawns a franchise. By 2012 the channel has produced a Cartoon Network series and is one of the ten most-subscribed accounts on YouTube. 02. The First Algorithmic Kidcore Annoying Orange is among the earliest channels to discover that YouTube's recommendation system disproportionately rewards content that holds the attention of unsupervised children. Its formula, bright colors, repetitive humor, looping voice, anticipates the YouTube Kids economy by half a decade. It is the entry point for the conversation about platform incentives and child viewership that will become urgent in the 2017 Elsagate scandal.

11. 2009-11-15 - orz. (also known as OTL) is an emoticon used to express one’s feeling of hopelessness in jest, often as a result of failure. The text visually represents a person kneeling on the ground with face down; “O” represents the head, “R” as the arms and “Z” as the torso. In East Asian cultures, the shape of “Orz” resembles a body gesture that signifies frustration or feeling of despair, typically as a result of one’s own failure though it can be used to convey frustration towards others similar to facepalm.

14. 2010 - Jenna Marbles: How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking. Date: 9 July 2010 · Place: YouTube, recorded in Cambridge, Massachusetts · Figures: Jenna Mourey aka Jenna Marbles, performer · Tags: YouTube Comedy, Femme Confessional, Bedroom Channel 01. Five Million Views In One Week On 9 July 2010 Jenna Mourey, a graduate student at Boston University, posts a comedic three-minute monologue titled How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking. The video accumulates more than five million views in seven days. By 2014 her channel is the most-subscribed by a woman on YouTube. The format is fixed for a decade of imitators: a single performer talking directly to a webcam in a bedroom or living room, fast-cut and unscripted in feel, soundtracked by self-conscious mockery of femininity. 02. The Femme Vlogger Template Marbles' channel proves that the YouTube creator economy is not only a sketch-comedy or vlog-confessional medium but a vehicle for women's confessional comedy at scale. The format will be inherited by Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart, Lilly Singh, Liza Koshy, Trisha Paytas, and countless others. Her 2020 retirement, in response to old videos containing blackface and other content, is among the first major creator exits driven by archive accountability rather than burnout.

15. 2010 - We Need To Go Deeper. Date: 16 July 2010 · Place: Reddit and 4chan, source image from Inception (Warner Bros.) · Figures: Christopher Nolan, director · Leonardo DiCaprio, source still · Tags: Image Macro, Recursion, Film Capture 01. Inception Releases Christopher Nolan's Inception opens in North America on 16 July 2010. Within days a screenshot of Leonardo DiCaprio with the caption WE NEED TO GO DEEPER is in circulation on Reddit and 4chan as the punchline to nested-premise jokes. The macro becomes the standard caption for any image with embedded images, recursive Photoshops, or arguments that escalate by adding qualifiers. 02. The Film That Memes Itself Inception is among the first major studio releases whose dialogue is mass-memed in real time during its theatrical run. The phenomenon prefigures the social media marketing logic that will dominate later franchises. The recursion joke also forms a pair with Yo Dawg as the era's two canonical templates for nested structure. Where Yo Dawg names the recursion, We Need To Go Deeper proposes that one should commit to it.

16. 2010 - Instagram Launches. Date: 6 October 2010 · Place: San Francisco, California · Figures: Kevin Systrom, co-founder · Mike Krieger, co-founder · Mark Zuckerberg, acquirer · Tags: Platform, Mobile First, Filter 01. Twenty-Five Thousand Users On Day One On 6 October 2010 Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger release Instagram on the iOS App Store. The app, a pared-down pivot from their location-based product Burbn, registers twenty-five thousand users on its first day. By December it has one million. On 9 April 2012 Facebook acquires Instagram for one billion dollars in cash and stock, the largest acquisition of a venture-backed startup with no revenue to that point. 02. The Filter As Native Vocabulary Instagram's twenty-eight launch filters, X-Pro II, Valencia, Earlybird, Inkwell, supply the first mass-market vocabulary for image post-processing as social currency. Before Instagram, the photo filter is a Photoshop specialty. After Instagram, it is a verb. The platform is also the proof that mobile-first social media can outscale the desktop web. It anticipates Snapchat, TikTok, and the entire post-2012 social-app economy. Tumblr, optimized for desktop, never makes the transition.

17. 2010 - Superwholock. Date: Mid-2010 through 2014 · Place: Tumblr · Figures: Supernatural, BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who source fandoms · Tags: Tumblr Fandom, Megafandom, Crossover 01. Three Shows One Dashboard Beginning in mid-2010 with the launch of BBC's Sherlock and continuing through the Eleventh Doctor era of Doctor Who and the post-fifth-season run of Supernatural, Tumblr users begin tagging fan content across all three with the portmanteau Superwholock. The crossover indicates allegiance to all three properties simultaneously. By 2012 the trio dominates the Tumblr fandom landscape. Crossover gifsets, ships, and AUs are produced at industrial scale. 02. The Megafandom As Identity Superwholock is the first true Tumblr-native megafandom, defined less by the source texts than by the platform's reblog mechanics and gif culture. Its dominant aesthetic, color-graded gif edits with hand-coded title typography, sets the visual idiom for the platform. Its decline after 2014, accelerated by Steven Moffat showrunner fatigue and the Sherlock fourth-season backlash, becomes the cautionary tale of fandom infrastructure outlasting fandom enthusiasm.

Date: 18 January 2011 · Place: YouTube, narration recorded in Los Angeles · Figures: Christopher Gordon aka Randall, narrator · National Geographic, original footage · Tags: Narration Mashup, Nature Footage 01. A Three Minute Voiceover On 18 January 2011 a Los Angeles-based performer named Christopher Gordon, posting as Randall, uploads a three minute twenty second narration over a National Geographic clip of a honey badger digging up and eating a cobra. Randall's voice is unhurried, archly enthusiastic, deeply profane. The video crosses 50 million views by year end. The phrase honey badger don't care enters general usage. "Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a shit.", Randall, The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger, 18 January 2011 02. Branded Apathy Randall and Gordon publish a 2011 book and produce a line of merchandise. The phrase is appropriated by an LSU football player as a self-nickname. The clip is the first major narration-over-found-footage viral, a format echoed by the entire essayistic YouTube genre of the 2010s.

23. 2011 - Scumbag Steve. Date: January 2011 · Place: Reddit r/AdviceAnimals, photo taken Boston, Massachusetts · Figures: Blake Boston, photo subject · Suzanne Boston, photographer and mother · Tags: Advice Animal, Backwards Cap 01. A 2006 Photo Of A Massachusetts Teenager Suzanne Boston photographs her son Blake, then a teenager, in 2006 in their Massachusetts home. Blake wears an oversized white tank top, gold chain, and a sideways flat-brim cap. The photo is used as cover art for Blake's rap project Beantown Mafia. On 5 January 2011 the photo, isolated and superimposed on a lime-green background, appears on Reddit captioned with examples of egregious bad-friend behavior. The character is named Scumbag Steve. 02. The Hat As Modifier The flat-brim cap is later extracted and superimposed on other faces (politicians, athletes, fictional characters) to mark them as scumbags in context. The cap becomes one of the first detachable modifier-objects in meme grammar. Blake Boston speaks publicly about the meme, releasing a response track and discussing the persistent association in interviews. He continues to be recognized by the photograph nearly two decades later.

24. 2011 - Friday by Rebecca Black. Date: 10 February 2011 upload, viral 11 March 2011 · Place: Ark Music Factory, Los Angeles · Figures: Rebecca Black, performer at thirteen · Patrice Wilson, Ark Music Factory songwriter · Clarence Jey, producer · Tags: Pay-To-Play Pop, Hate Watch, YouTube Native 01. A Four Thousand Dollar Music Video Rebecca Black, a thirteen year old from Anaheim Hills, California, records Friday with Ark Music Factory, a pay-to-play vanity label run by Patrice Wilson and Clarence Jey. Black's mother pays 4,000 dollars for the song and accompanying music video, uploaded to YouTube on 10 February 2011. On 11 March 2011 the comedy site Tosh.0 features the clip. Within a week it accumulates 30 million views, becoming the most-discussed pop artifact of the year. 02. Hate-Watch As Mainstream Mode Friday formalizes hate-watching as a mainstream consumption mode. The song reaches number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the basis of paid downloads from viewers who acquire it specifically to mock it. Black, then thirteen, receives death threats. She speaks publicly about the experience for the next decade and re-releases a queer-affirming remix of the song in February 2021 with Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 3OH!3 for the tenth anniversary.

25. 2011 - Planking. Date: viral peak May-July 2011 · Place: Australia (peak), with antecedents in the UK · Figures: Acton Beale, Australian planker (d. 15 May 2011) · Sam Weckert and Gary Clarkson, UK Lying Down Game originators (2007) · Tags: Pose Meme, Performance Photography 01. The Lying Down Game Renamed The pose, lying face-down with body rigid and arms at the sides on increasingly unusual surfaces, originates as the Lying Down Game in 2007 with UK players Sam Weckert and Gary Clarkson documenting it on Facebook. In early 2011 the practice is renamed planking in Australia and explodes across Facebook and Twitter. By May 2011 dedicated Facebook pages have hundreds of thousands of followers and planks are documented on roofs, statues, livestock, and police vehicles. 02. A Death And A Reckoning On 15 May 2011 Acton Beale, a twenty year old in Brisbane, falls seven stories to his death while planking on a balcony railing. The Queensland Police Service issues a public warning. The fad recedes through the summer. Planking is the first major pose-photography viral, the template for subsequent stunts such as Owling, Horsemaning, and Tebowing. It is also the first viral practice to produce a widely-publicized fatality, prompting early discussion of platform responsibility for trend-driven physical risk.

26. 2011 - Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Date: 29 July 2011 · Place: YouTube, produced in London · Figures: Becky Sloan, co-creator · Joseph Pelling, co-creator · Baker Terry, co-creator · Tags: Web Series, Surrealist Horror, Childrens TV Parody 01. Notebook Sings A Song On 29 July 2011 the London-based filmmakers Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling upload Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, a four-minute pastiche of children's television in which three felt puppets are taught a creativity lesson by a sentient notebook. The lesson dissolves into graphic body horror. Five further episodes are released between 2014 and 2016, each addressing a different educational topic: time, love, technology, food, dreams. A six-part Channel 4 series follows in September 2022. 02. The Education Of The Internet Child Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is the canonical short-form work of internet surrealist horror. Its imagery, the singing flesh, the green tongue, the smiling clock, becomes a permanent reference set for analog-horror creators on YouTube and TikTok for the next decade. It is also a critique of educational media as ideological apparatus, a sharper cousin to Wonder Showzen. The series is funded by Kickstarter in 2014 for its episodes two through six, making it an early proof of the patron-funded online auteur.

27. 2011 - Tebowing. Date: 23 October 2011 · Place: Sports Authority Field, Denver, Colorado · Figures: Tim Tebow, quarterback · Jared Kleinstein, originator of Tebowing.com · Tags: Posed Photo, Sports Meme, Single-Serving Tumblr 01. A Knee On The Field On 23 October 2011 Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow drops to one knee in prayer after leading a comeback win over the Miami Dolphins. New York fan Jared Kleinstein photographs himself and friends imitating the pose at a Manhattan bar that night and registers Tebowing.com. Within a week the site is collecting hundreds of submissions per day. Tebow himself trademarks the term Tebowing in October 2012. 02. The Imitation Pose Genre Tebowing is the first major imitation-pose meme of the Instagram era, predating Planking's full mainstream peak and sharing structural logic with the Lying-Down Game, Owling, and Horsemaning. The format requires the meme to be photographically reproduced rather than verbally cited. It also marks the moment when the NFL recognizes that an athlete's spontaneous gesture can outpace the league's own branding and that the rights conversation about player gesture is no longer hypothetical.

28. 2011 - The Most Interesting Man in the World. Date: Macro circulation peak 2011 · Place: Reddit and Quickmeme, source advertising for Dos Equis · Figures: Jonathan Goldsmith, actor · Euro RSCG Worldwide, ad agency · Dos Equis, Heineken USA brand · Tags: Advice Animal, Brand Capture, Catchphrase 01. An Ad Becomes A Template The advertising campaign for Dos Equis lager featuring actor Jonathan Goldsmith as a silver-bearded raconteur begins in 2007, developed by Euro RSCG Worldwide. The tagline is I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. By 2011 a still of Goldsmith leaning against a wall is the basis for a top Reddit advice-animal template. The template inverts the original: I don't always X, but when I do, I Y. It dominates the r/AdviceAnimals front page for most of 2011 and 2012. 02. When The Brand Surrenders Dos Equis embraces the macro rather than litigates it, with media buys that reference the meme's own circulation. The case becomes a standard business-school example of brand-meme coexistence and is cited in the early advertising literature on what is then called user-generated content. It is also the first time a beer brand fully cedes authorship of its own slogan to anonymous Quickmeme users while continuing to profit from it.

32. 2012-06-03 - What Should We Call Me. (snowclone: What Should We Call X) is a single topic blog which pairs everyday occurrences with an animated reaction GIF conveying a fitting reaction or a feeling projected by the poster in each given situation. Since its launch in February 2012, the blog has inspired dozens of spin-off sites that focus on a specific field of interest or occupation.
33. 2012 - All Right, Gentlemen!. ! (also known as “Alright Gentlemen”) is an exploitable comic series illustrating three business men’s reaction to various proposals. The comic begins with the announcement of a brainstorm session on a videogame-related topic, followed by a panel showing an incomplete idea which is met by unimpressed silence and concludes with a panel depicting a slightly improved version of the previous idea that is met with enthusiasm, similar to the format of Reaction Guys comics. The comics are often used to criticize the business practices of video game and tech companies.
34. 2012 - KONY 2012. Date: 5 March 2012 · Place: San Diego, California, Invisible Children · Figures: Jason Russell, director and Invisible Children co-founder · Joseph Kony, subject of the campaign · Tags: Activist Video, Slacktivism, Virality Critique 01. Twenty Nine Minutes On YouTube On 5 March 2012 the San Diego nonprofit Invisible Children releases a twenty nine minute thirty second documentary directed by co-founder Jason Russell calling for the arrest of Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. The video accumulates 100 million views within six days, the fastest such trajectory in YouTube history to that point. The campaign sells action kits for 30 dollars and calls for a coordinated postering event on 20 April 2012. 02. Backlash, Breakdown, And Aftermath Within weeks the campaign attracts substantial criticism from Ugandan journalists and African-studies scholars for oversimplification, inflated statistics, and a colonial savior framing.

I Am Barack Obama, President Of The United States On 29 August 2012, ten weeks before the general election, the sitting US president submits a post to Reddit's r/IAmA subreddit titled I Am Barack Obama, President of the United States. AMA. The thirty-minute session draws more than two hundred thousand concurrent visitors and briefly takes the site down. It is the first time a sitting head of state participates in a public Q&A on a user-generated platform without media intermediation. 02. The Format As Institutional Object The Obama AMA legitimizes the Ask Me Anything format as an institutional press object. After 29 August, AMAs are conducted by Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Madonna, and the Norwegian Prime Minister, among many others. It also exposes Reddit's editorial fragility. The 2015 firing of AMA coordinator Victoria Taylor will trigger a site-wide moderator revolt that brings down CEO Ellen Pao and reveals the volunteer-mod dependency at the heart of the platform.

Date: 16 October 2012 · Place: Second presidential debate, Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York · Figures: Mitt Romney, Republican nominee · Barack Obama, incumbent · Candy Crowley, moderator · Veronica Brown-Moseley, Tumblr originator · Tags: Live Debate, Tumblr Macro, Political 01. A Phrase Hits Twitter In Minutes On 16 October 2012, during the second presidential debate at Hofstra University, Republican nominee Mitt Romney answers a question about pay equity by recalling that his transition team had collected binders full of women as cabinet candidates. Within minutes a Twitter account, a Tumblr blog, and a Facebook page bearing the phrase are in circulation. By morning the binders Tumblr has accumulated thousands of submissions, most of which juxtapose office-supply photographs with images of women. 02. The Real-Time Macro Cycle Binders is the canonical example of a campaign moment that is fully memed before the broadcast ends. It compresses what would once have taken a news cycle of editorial response into a forty-five-minute participatory event. It also exposes the fact-check problem at the core of meme politics. Romney's underlying claim, that the binders were prepared by his transition team unprompted, is contested by MassGAP, but the correction circulates at a fraction of the meme's reach.

37. 2012 - Tumblr Sexyman: The Onceler Arc. Date: October 2012 · Place: Tumblr, source character from The Lorax (Universal, 2012) · Figures: The Onceler, animated character · Ed Helms, voice actor · Tumblr fandom curators · Tags: Fandom Archetype, Femme Gaze, Sexyman 01. A Lorax Villain Becomes A Heartthrob Universal's animated film The Lorax releases in March 2012 with Ed Helms voicing the young Onceler, a green-suited entrepreneur villain. Beginning in October 2012, Tumblr fandom appropriates the character into a sprawling romance and AU ecosystem: dozens of Onceler blogs, OC self-inserts, ship art, and song-fic. The phenomenon is documented in real time on Your Fave Is Problematic and other watchlog Tumblrs. 02. The Tumblr Sexyman Archetype The Onceler arc is the first articulated case of what fandom theorists later name the Tumblr Sexyman: a nominally minor or villainous male character, often tall and animated or low-rendered, who is collectively rewritten as the romantic protagonist of a parallel fandom. The lineage continues through Bill Cipher, Sans Undertale, Reigen Arataka, and the Murder Drones cast. It also illustrates Tumblr fandom's capacity to override a source text's authorial intent at scale. Universal's marketing of the Onceler as a cautionary capitalist is decisively overwritten.
