About

The "You Missed the Point by Idolizing Them" Starter Pack refers to an exploitable starter pack template that labels literally me guys and other sigma male characters as bad or evil despite many internet users "idolizing" them in memes. The original was posted to Reddit in late 2019 and spread to multiple social media platforms in the early 2020s. The characters and image macros featured in the template became more nonsensical over time.

Origin

On December 30th, 2019, Redditor /u/the_prion posted a meme to /r/starterpacks[1] that was the first known "you missed the point by idolizing them" starter pack. It included multiple literally me characters like Walter White, Rick Sanchez, Patrick Bateman, Don Draper and Joaquin Phoenix as Joker, among others. Over the course of three years, the post received roughly 100,000 upvotes (shown below).

[3] On December 31st, 2019, the Facebook[4] page PAMU: Philosophy Anti-Marginalisation Union posted the first known re-edit of the template, placing philosophers like Hegel as the characters. The post gained over 150 reactions in three years (shown below, left). On January 11th, 2020, Instagram[5] user @blue0nyx posted a more free association re-edit of the meme, gaining over 60 likes in three years (shown below, right).
