About

"Le Reddit Army" is an ironic nickname for YouTube commenters who post intentionally inflammatory statements on the video-sharing site, often using roleplay accounts parodying various online stereotypes.

Origin

The earliest known reference to "le Reddit army" was in a post submitted by Redditor abenji on September 7th, 2012, which compared those who leave "reddit army" comments on YouTube to the Squeeze Toy Alien characters from the Toy Story films. Prior to being archived, the post gained over 1,900 votes (93% upvoted) on the /r/funny[10] subreddit. In the comments section, many speculated that 4chan users were posting the "le Reddit army" comments on YouTube in an attempt to embarrass Redditors.

Precursors

In 2010, the French masculine singular definite article "le" became widely used on Reddit in rage comics. In 2011, 4chan users engaged in an online feud with 9gag users who referred to themselves as the "9gag army."

Spread

On September 27th, 2012, the Le-Reddit-Army[11] Reddit account was created. On December 30th, 2013, YouTuber SwampLabs uploaded a video titled "Le Reddit Army," featuring a slideshow of various subreddits and the site "9gag" repeated in the video description (shown below).

On June 10th, 2014, the r/RedditArmie[1] subreddit was created, which typically features screenshots of YouTube roleplay accounts mimicking various infamous Internet stereotypes, including self-proclaimed nice guys, atheists, fedora-wearers, feminists, meme enthusiasts, men's rights activists and Reddit evangelists.

"Rage Against The Machine" are famous for having lyrics that promote crime, especially the one in this video which is literally called "Killing in the Name" with constant references to murder. This band has also been known to promote anarchy and violence. This music teacher is raising a generation of violent females, it sickens me seeing this kind of sexist treatment of young females get so highly praised SE Berta Lovejoy, Feminist, Promoter Of Equality, Love, and Peace Reply. 52 ié

Wow what a disgusting meme. Its dankness is literally domestic towards true memers. It sickens me knowing that in today's memer society, this would have a meme entry on KnowYourMeme if the memer was a shitposter. Shame on KnowYourMeme for supporting memers getting #rekt.

As a moderator of Know Your Meme, one of the premier meme documentation websites on the Internet, I can say with certainty that Le Reddit Armie is, in fact, a meme. I have seen this on at least five (5) different videos on the website YouTube, and as every true memer knows, many memes come from YouTube. I can confidently say that I await the day for this article to be confirmed by my fellow moderators.
