    How is this a meme? It’s literally just a death threat by arson.

      Not literally.

      Nobody ever said anyone would be in the house, so its more of an arson threat… by arson.

      Reaction memes in form of a social media post/comment aren’t that rare and on the other hand regular memes in this form are extremely common. I don’t see where the surprise is coming from. The threats are very common as well when it comes to reaction memes, just look at those 2 quick examples:

      And there are countless other memes where gun or arson are in topic. Those are practically a specific shitposts that you can send to someone as a reaction to something.

          You literally have a flood of those posts in meme communities. The definition of a meme has expanded. Idk what to tell you besides that.
