I think you’re misusing this meme. You’ve watched the American Psycho scene about comparing business card typography and him being one-upped repeatedly, right? I don’t see how that fits here.
No no, that’s an explicit part of it. The crack in the voice of Bateman is included in my reaction as someone who has spread this myth once or twice. Also as someone who wishes he had caught this misconception before and posted about it.
I watched the karma total flip up and down. The Nash equilibrium is to strong downvote because after the comment has a low karma total, social consensus becomes that I’m being totally ironic about my appreciation of Jeff’s scholarship.
My interpretation was that the downvotes were people not liking seeing generic reply gifs here, especially for something we have a specific interface for (voting), while the agreevotes were for the content of the gif?
That was mostly what it was, but before it got downvoted significantly I watched two factions fight about it for a little bit, until they stopped fighting

Thanks for clarifying! As someone who hasn’t seen the movie I was missing that.
Oh, I see. I looked at the original EA post but you didn’t seem to be the author of it, so I figured that wasn’t it.
Looking at the negative karma and positive agreevotes:

Yup. I’m one such person who downvoted because I don’t want people to reply with gif-memes, and agree-voted because I agreed with it.
