About
Haha Just Kidding But… is a text-based meme popular on Tumblr in which a person begins making an obtuse political point one might associate with Tumblr discourse before interrupting themselves mid-thought with a variation of the phrase "haha just kidding but that sounds like something someone on here would say doesn’t it?"
Origin
On March 30th, 2017, Tumblr user gordons[1] wrote a text post which read:
Any hatred for Ayn Rand here secretly stems from misogyny for intellectual women in power lmao no I’m just pulling your dick but that sounded like something someone would say on here didn’t it
The post gained over 25,000 notes.
Spread
According to Meme Documentation, [2] the post format did not grow popular until August of 2017. A popular post from that time posted August 13th, 2017 by discourseful[3] read:
jokes that finish with “haha just kidding but that sure sounds like something someone on here would say” are ableist because it fools people into thinking someone really means it but then makes them feel stupid haha just kidding but that sure sounds like something someone on here would say
That post gained over 16,000 notes. On August 19th, Tumblr user diablojobs[4] made a post using the joke crossed with hewwo which gained over 54,000 notes (shown below).
stop the “hewwo” meme
its appropriating DD/LG culture and making fun of it, which invalidates our experiences! we didnt choose to have this kink and haha just kidding but could you fucking imagine.
Several posts on Tumblr using the format have gained tens of thousands of notes, causing Meme Documentation to document the meme on December 10th, 2017.[2]
