I’ve associated Mephiles with being a gay Fortnite gamer for so long now that his actual characterization feels weird to me

Memphis is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is the seat of Shelby County in the southwest part of the state; it is situated along the Mississippi River. With a population of 633,104 at the 2020 U.S. census,[6] Memphis is the second-most populous city in Tennessee after Nashville.

Memphis is the fifth-most populous city in the Southeast, the nation's 28th-most populous overall, as well as the largest city bordering the Mississippi River and third largest metropolitan statistical area behind Greater St. Louis and the Twin Cities on the Mississippi River.[7] The Memphis metropolitan area includes West Tennessee and the greater Mid-South region, which includes portions of neighboring Arkansas, Mississippi and the Missouri Bootheel. One of the more historic and culturally significant cities of the Southern United States, Memphis has a wide variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.

The first European explorer to visit the area of present-day Memphis was Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in 1541. The high Chickasaw Bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi was contested by European settlers as Memphis developed. By 1819, when modern Memphis was founded, it was part of the United States territory. John Overton, James Winchester, and Andrew Jackson founded the city.[8] Based on the wealth of cotton plantations and river traffic along the Mississippi, Memphis grew into one of the largest cities of the Antebellum South. After the American Civil War and the end of slavery, the city continued to grow into the 20th century. It became among the largest world markets for cotton and lumber.[9]

Home to Tennessee's largest African-American population, Memphis played a prominent role in the American Civil Rights Movement. Leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated there in 1968 after activities supporting a strike by the city's maintenance workers. The National Civil Rights Museum was established there and is a Smithsonian affiliate institution.

Since the civil rights era, Memphis has become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics.[10] The largest employer is FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport. In 2021, Memphis was the world's second-busiest cargo airport. The International Port of Memphis also hosts the fifth-busiest inland water port in the U.S.[11] The Globalization and World Cities Research Network considers Memphis a "Sufficiency" level global city as of 2020.[12]

Memphis is a center for media and entertainment, notably a historic music scene.[13] With blues clubs on Beale Street originating the unique Memphis blues sound, the city has been nicknamed the "Home of the Blues". Its music has continued to be shaped by a multicultural mix of influences: country, rock and roll, soul, and hip-hop.

The city is home to a major professional sports team, the Grizzlies of the NBA and the Memphis Showboats of the USFL. Other attractions include Graceland, the Memphis Pyramid, Sun Studio, the Blues Hall of Fame and Stax Museum of American Soul Music. Memphis-style barbecue has achieved international prominence, and the city hosts the annual World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, which attracts more than 100,000 visitors each year. Higher-level educational institutions include the University of Memphis and Rhodes College.

yes that is what I am saying

regardless of if it's the original or not, I'm so used to the fandub that seeing these characters in this location not talking about gamer pads and fortnite is jarring

No I played the game when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure this is the original

This isn’t even the original either, just a meme video. Still, I’ve also got the Memphis Tennessee voice stuck in my head every time I see this scene.

I still remember the Kwite situation

The fact that he had to drop a 1:30 video AND had to do a face reveal purely to prove the claims were false is just kind of depressing to me

It reached a point where I'd just see a person being called out as a pedo every single time I opened twitter

Thank god I deleted my account long ago

Oh btw, what's the original video called? I wanna check it out and the full context of the meme.

I thought it was 06 fandub, but no that redub was talking about Mephiles being a gamer and didn't have this line

I swear every day there is popular guy getting exposde for pedophilia

FiddlerofSticks•

I stopped caring unless it's one of my popular guys.

Half the time it's just people overreacting over a minor social gaff

103

It's usually some overly exaggerated bullshit. Not always, but usually. Nobody actually checks?

The charge screams louder than the verdict.

Pedophile is the new race card. Transphobe as well, in certain circles. It's a conversation ender and a permanent smear. Good luck getting a job!

But remember, cancel culture doesn't exist.

45
Gullible_Ad3378•

How is transphobe the new race card dawg seriously

2

It's used the same way within its own contextual space. As a conversation ender. Don't like what someone is saying? Call them a transphobe. You win. They lose.
You are good person, they are bad person. Conversation is over.

1†
angrymadpenguin•

Very rarely does someone get called a transphobe without good reason. Apart from that big stupid Harry Potter drama a while ago.

2
Gullible_Ad3378•

Not the same at all lmao. If you get called a transphobe then you’re probably are one. This ain’t no race card type shit dude

FiddlerofSticks•

Yeah, mob violence is as old as humans are. From witch hunts to the Gracchi brothers being murdered by an enraged mob after people spread rumors that they were trying to become dictators (they weren't).

It's a massive issue with the left, always has been. Gracchi brothers were trying to pass populist social reforms that benefited the poor but were murdered by a mob who thought they were being liberal enough

Like 2 days ago a Roblox youtuber I used to watch like 2 or 3 years ago got exposed for grooming lmao

I honestly stopped caring unless it's a popular guy I care about.

Half the time it ends up being like James Charles and it's just people overreacting and making shit up.

(He said that he thought it was kind of kinky to sleep with guys who thought they were straight, and it caused a backlash where people where accusing him of being a pedo groomer for some fuckin' reason)

Terminally online people will start never-ending campaigns of harassment over the dumbest accusations. From the weakest allegations possible to age gap stuff that wouldn't even be that bad if it were true, they'll be like "into the woodchipper with you."

In the Clash Royale corner of the internet, some tinfoil hat troglodytes are perpetuating the notion that the youtuber Gratz is the same person who ran a Mario Kart Wii channel. Said MKWii tuber was accused of: GASP dating a teenager! As a teenager... God forbid highschoolers date outside their grade...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that a 4 year age gap?

Sigh….. Guys, Op is clearly a pedo.

I've told plenty of people if they don't have real proof, get tf away with that shit, it doesn't seem like people understand how serious those accusations are anymore.

My buddies and I had evidence of a youtuber being a groomer, before we were able to give it to a bigger Warhammer youtuber it got deleted

Bonus points if the accused is a teen under bad influence from another group. Society is fucked up.

12
R_of_Trash•

Reminds me of how the popular opinion STILL thinks that Omocat is a pedo.

Because she made edgy tweets about kidnapping children and whatnot 10 years ago, when she was 20 (still a stupid teen) and she already made an apology saying "sorry for being so stupid and cringy 9 years ago"

Like, beyond the cringe tweets, there's literally no evidence that she ever harmed anyone, and terminally online fucks REFUSE to believe that a person changes over a damn decade, so I ended up seeing quite a few people with a lot of audience say "omori is pedophile undertale" and everyone cheer them for that, which is just so wild.

Also, the internet in general tends to forget that: even if she actually liked children back then, not every pedophile is actively a bad person, some of them feel inmense guilt over their feelings and dont try to justify it, and these kinda people, tend to seek help to change their ways, and they can change their ways.

Kinda late it's been over a week since he livestreamed his suicide and the accusations were revealed false. A real shame considering his talent as a cosplayer and a person.

I'm so glad I played the actual game as a kid because all the fandubs/memes are 1000x funnier when you know what the characters are actually supposed to say
