Reverse Memes can be simply described as changing a current meme, and completely altering its character to its opposite.
Reverse Memes can be used in a way of saying, “You’re doing it wrong,” by simply stating the opposite defenition, or if the other person is stupid enough, Reverse Memes can even be used as a trolling technique.
Reverse memes aren’t solely limited to pictures, but as text as well. A couple of examples would be someone with the name Newfag triforcing and people saying candlejack without getting cut off.

:/
Memes should be a contagious idea (ie I come up with an idea, idea passes to another person, idea passes to another person, idea passes to another person…).
The problem with this one is that, like Chris Menning said, doing the reverse of something is pretty natural. There was even some joking around about X did NOT eat/ate my balls way back in the 90s. I think it would be hard to claim that people were inspired to make “reverse memes” because of they saw these first “reverse memes.”
Tis like this… robots aren’t an internet meme. I wouldn’t talk about robots because I saw someone else talk about robots on the internet. I would talk about robots because I want to talk about robots.
So I would think people create reverse memes because thats a natural way to make fun of things, not necessarily because they saw someone else do it.
tl;dr This gallery is lulzy, and we should keep it… but meh for the entry itself.
