That was the joke presented in the meme, yes.
I wouldn’t call this a meme but sure.
Yes and I'm saying maybe instead of coddling the modern sense of cosmic self-importance by acceptance through jest, we should instead maybe tell people to like, grow up?
I really don't see your argument here. The humor in the comic is based entirely on the subversion of expectation. Specifically the implicit understanding that these kinds of minor inconveniences are not the product of intent (malicious or otherwise).
I disagree, the humor in the comic is indulging out irrational feelings that things happen to us as a matter of cosmic consequence. This wouldn't exist if we didn't have a stupid internal voice that said to us "they're doing this to you."
It's "I know this isn't true, but what if?"
The problem is, people and psyche are subtle and nuanced, and by even acknowledging that question, even in jest which seems to point to understanding how silly it is, it effectively helps to legitimize said feeling.
This is the case with a lot of "relatable memes," tbh.
(anyone needing a translation of this admittedly fucking awesome sentence:)
"instead of normalising entitlement with memes"
Lol, yes that's much more succinct, thank you
consign your trepidations to their newly fortified retainers, my auspicious accomplice!
I think they sent you the wrong sleep-hypno tapes...
Forbearance is the watchword, that triumvirate of twinkies merely overwhelmed my resolve!
