Spread

Dispite the images existing for a decade, and gaining usage as a reaction image throughout the years, it wouldnt be until late 2014 that the images would gain memetic traction and spawn multiple exploitables, which include replacing Joey Wheeler with characters from other media, as well as photoshopping his chin on multiple anime characters.

On November 17, 2014, the popular culture news site Kotaku^[1] wrote an article about the meme, which features multiple images of Joey´s chin photoshopped on random anime characters. On November 18th of the same year, the site SGCafe^[2] wrote a similar article with more examples. The exploitables have trended in japan on twitter under the Hashtag #城之内顎クソコラグランプリ.^[3]
