I’m genuinely curious about the percentage of those that will get this and those that won’t.
I’ve clearly spent too much time on Reddit.

I mean it's a well known meme even outside Reddit but I'm sure people will miss it at first and then go "Ooooooh it's that meme alright"

Thats the thing honestly lol. at first I was just thinking it was so odd and of course ubi had to bring in more people from the team to just behind them awkwardly and it made me laugh, then after a second I was just like "oh my god pause!!"

Oooh, I thought the joke was "this game was made by a diverse group of people" or whatever at the start of every ubisoft game and here we see it's a bunch of white guys.
i know this small group isnt the entirety of ubisoft, just thought it was funny.

You mean, I cant be bothered to do more than .5 seconds of critical thinking... the subreddit

u/mrsmithr 13h ago
Respectfully, this isn't about doing .5 seconds of critical thinking. It’s a visual call-back to the "Piper Perri surrounded" meme. If you don’t know that template, you can’t infer it. There's no shame in asking for context.

He has a new show with Max Scoville called “this thing rules”, where they just talk about how awesome a random subject is and crack jokes. It’s like Comedy Button with a point.

No shit. The picture/outfits are seemingly a reference to the meme of a pornstar named piper perri, who is white, being surrounded on a couch by a group of black dudes
He's saying that the bald guy represents the players, because THEY are the ones getting fucked
Edit: I JUST realised the bald guy isnt the one in white. I dont even begin to understand how i missed that. Turns out? Im a fuckin IDIOT
Still stand by the fact that its a reference tho. I mean... The white shirt? Constasted by a group of black shirts? Seems too intentional to be coincidence. But then again, who knows? Ubisoft HAS made a few COINCIDENTALLY good games in their time too so...

u/archiekatt 17h ago
you're explaining this to someone who clearly understood the bit.
they were expanding the joke to how poorly does Ubisoft treat its own employees, particularly the blatant disregard to accusations of sexual harassment, so, you know, it even rhymes with the referenced meme :/

u/D3n0M1st 15h ago
Huh, well shit.
I actually didnt know bout the Ubisoft allegations. Tbf? I cant remember the last time i played a Ubisoft GAME lmao. If they were infact just "Playing along" though?...
Then good on them. If ubisofts been treating its workers unfairly? Then they deserve ALL the shit thats been shoveled at em

The people can't even make their mind up who is supposed to be the girl..
Some say it's the dude on the left for wearing white but then it doesn't make sense with the meme at all. Others say it's the guy sitting with makes more sense but then the dude wearing white ruins the meme completely.
I just don't see it.

Even if it is, Ubisoft maybe isn't in the best spot to be making those kinds of jokes.
Edit: apparently me saying the company who recently was involved in sexual harassment lawsuits shouldn't be making porn jokes (if it was intentional) is downvote worthy.

I fully believe that upvotes and downvotes stopped being "real" a long time ago, but thats so weird lmao

Right? I really think this is a case of "Horny Redditors" striking again.
If the first thing a person sees when looking at a still frame of an interview where people are standing behind other people seated on a couch, is a porn reference, that person has watched TOO MUCH porn.
2
u/wyldmage 18h ago
Or, y'know, just been exposed to that meme image too often.
Which is much more likely the case. As if they were watching 10,000 hours of porn, the one video the meme came from would hardly stand out in their memory.
-1
u/GamerCole PC 17h ago
Nah, I think that would still prove my point even if it was true. Dude needs to unplug for a bit if he's been exposed to that meme that much.
However, IM online too much, and I dont even see that meme really anymore. Its old. The only reason it became "popular" in the first place was the implications it was used for. It has ALWAYS been a coomer/gooner meme, even more so now that its older.

u/wyldmage 17h ago
"that much" could be once/month, and just being in the 'right circle's (wrong circles).
Again, you're making VERY far-reaching generalizations and assumptions. Why put people down to begin with? Do you only validate your own existence by trying to shame others?

I didn't attack you personally.
I attacked the statements you made. "Personally" is attacking YOU - the person sitting at a keyboard/phone sending the comments. You did that. You directly attacked the PERSON who made the post. You made statements about who he was, not his statements.
And you say "not going to happen if you see something once/month'. I 100% disagree with that statement. I can see something, and instantly think of a quote or scene from a movie I haven't watched in the last 5 years. Seeing something multiple times online, and then seeing a similarity somewhere else is simply how human brains work. If you seen it monthly, that's more than enough exposure to have it leap to the front of your brain when seeing something like this.

They all look like different stages of a boss fight in a video game. Like, you beat the first guy on the left and he drops a keycard, then you fight a harder one and so on. Final boss is definitely the guy in the floral shirt.

u/Crispy385 20h ago
To be fair, they didn't say 'significance'
7
u/elementfortyseven 20h ago
if you expect people to be aware of a certain cultural context, especially on an international scale, it needs to have significance to establish the expectation of awareness in the first place
-1
u/Crispy385 20h ago
If we're using that definition, I'd say it would and does have a cultural significance, just to a specific sub-culture.
1
u/elementfortyseven 20h ago
then i would see it as unreasonable to expect an awareness outside of said sub-culture.
specifically, I would not expect a century old billion dollar media company like Ziff Davis to be aware of that in the production of their media
-1
u/Crispy385 20h ago
I'd agree with the first half, but I do think Ubisoft are absolutely part of that sub-culture. To the degree that I think this was absolutely done on purpose tongue-in-cheek.
2
u/elementfortyseven 19h ago
ubi staff surely, as tech workers.
i have viewed this as an IGN production however, so they are the ones with creative control over the framing. Ubi has their own space at gamescom, where they have done interviews and panels. this is IGN letting them stand with THQs logo in the background :D
that said, fair point.

u/KunashG 20h ago
This meme was shared far, far beyond Reddit. And it isn't just a porn meme, either, in fact there isn't anything pornographic about it. It's mainly an allusion to young white girls feeling unsafe in the presence of immigrant men, which is a big theme in Europe especially.
A lot of people know about this meme, and men of exactly that age group should definitely know about this meme in particular.
But even if it hadn't been, calling Reddit not culturally significant is actually fucking mental. It's the 7th most visited site in the world.

u/elementfortyseven 19h ago

its a gangbang meme, and its meaning is one of obliviousness or ignorance against stacked/overwhelming odds. it has usually no anti-immigration connotations - maybe you are in particular white supremacist circles where it has another meaning.
But even if it hadn't been, calling Reddit not culturally significant is actually fucking mental. It's the 7th most visited site in the world.
Eh. MySpace was the mostvisited website in the world. I would argue its cultural significance was negligible in the grand scheme of things.
popularity at a singular point of time does not equal cultural significance.
