About
Majiresu (マジレス) is a Japanese meme focusing on various Photoshops of an unidentified man. The meme originated on the imageboard 2chan.
Origin
Majiresu was a 2chan user who would post under the aforementioned tripcode. At one point in time, a photograph supposedly of him was posted. Although it was later proven to not be Majiresu, the photograph was found to be funny enough to other 2channers to catch on.[1]
Spread
Many Photoshops of Majiresu were created. Majiresu threads were banned for sometime on 2chan after privacy concerns rose over the man's identity.
Examples
Notable Sub-Memes
The Unforgiven Angle
The Unforgiven Angle is the name given to the pose that the man in the photograph is making. It is common for artists to draw other characters in the same pose. It is often combined with the Flag of Macedonia (see below).
Flag of Macedonia
The Flag of Macedonia is the name of a yellow and red background often used in Majiresu parodies., derived from its similarity to the flag of the Republic of Macedonia.[2]
Zettai Yuru-Sanae
Zettai Yuru-Sanae is the name of a popular Majiresu spin-off featuring the Touhou Project character Sanae Moriya. The joke came about after it was discovered that "Sanae" could rhyme with "Yurusanai", which was one of Majiresu's catchphrases.
