    While I agree that some folk would do anything to see themselves above other people I think you might be missing the irony of the meme

      Yeah lol it’s almost always ironic-- “You do this thing for some normal reason. I do it for a weird reason that may reveal a salient character flaw.”

      If somebody did use it to actually self-elevate or gatekeep, that would be pretty cringe. But almost all of the usage I see is ironic.
