#IStandWithLesbianBabadook has been trending on Twitter today, and no, it regrettably has nothing to do with an LGBTQ+ spinoff of the 2014 horror film The Babadook.The hashtag actually references an online spat between actor Aimee Carreroand Twitter user @Lesbianbabadook, during which Carrero failed to understand meme culture.<\/p>\n
The voice actor for She-Ra, of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, reposted a meme that referenced her, and claimed it was a death threat, seemingly not understanding it was meant to be a joke about the class divide:<\/p>\n
The meme used the same format as a previous meme featuring legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, which made a similar joke, just in the context of a race war. Hawk reacted differently, which in contrast to Carreros case, earned him praise in the meme community:<\/p>\n
Most reactions focused on Carreros failure to understand meme culture, and for taking the joke about class warfare too personally:<\/p>\n
Many also took issue with the fact that Carrero failed to blackout the username of the much smaller Twitter account @Lesbianbabadook, which is apparently run by a minor, forcing them to go private due to the increased attention:<\/p>\n
#IStandWithLesbianBabadook is now currently trending at number four on Twitter and has been mentioned by more than 6,000 users. When history comes calling, where will you say you stood?<\/p>\n
