I just find Meme wars in general to be rather silly and
   sensationalistic but amusing. They appeal to those within the

   Internet fun really. Flame wars are the mainstay of the
   Internet, a safe outlet, and team solidarity through these kinds
   of things, "Hey, at least we're not like them, huh, bros?" makes
   for fun sport. Carry on - I'm not criticizing, just
   over-analyzing, one of my pasttimes
