![]() Looks fine to me! The botched restoration of "Ecce Homo" aka Potato Jesus HuffPost noted that Kony 2012 “narrowed the gap” between activism and “slacktivism,” a concept that, like white saviour, we’ve only become more acquainted with since. It rallied the public and celebrities alike, cracking open discussions about the region until overwhelming attention from its unprecedented virality induced a very public mental health crisis for one of founders of the nonprofit behind the video. The video documentary about the wrongdoings of Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony, including his exploitation of children, was the first video on YouTube to gain 1 million likes. KONY 2012 united the internet, until it didn’t. My favorite remains the ever-relevant “Shit Single Girls Say” which, to this day, still feels just like looking in a mirror.Īctivists unfurl a KONY 2012 flag. Though the “ Shit Girls Say” video that started it all was posted in 2011, the “Shit People Say” meme peaked in January 2012 after interpretations like Shit Black Girls Say (written by Lena Waithe!), Shit White Girls Say.to Black Girls, Shit _ Say, and Shit New Yorkers Say (starring Eliot and Ilana Glazer) gained traction. listen, listen, listen, LISTEN, listen… this is one of the best memes of all time.
