Somehow I find the photo of a muscle guy with no clothes insulting for an "office" story.
It is just so disconnected from each other?

And I seriously doubt most office workers find a ribbed extreme muscle guy representative of office workers. And especially not the women.

It's not lie a huge issue, it's just a meme, sorry for pointing out I found the guy misplaced,
You all go ahead and have fun without much thought.

    OP sees the malicious compliance as a "chad" move, hence the use of Giga Chad meme.

    And? Does that make it better or worse? Personally I don't give a shit that he is a meme guy I knew that, but he is not the right meme guy for this sort of meme IMO.

    It's a story about workers flexing their strength against the boss and having the boss back down. It seems to fit just fine to me.

    I can't possibly imagine why you seem to be so offended over all this.

    Except it's not really malicious compliance, it's just compliance.

    Memes are conceptual not literal

    That's mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or imitated.
    I know the definition very well both reading and hearing Richard Dawkins who coined and defined the term, explaining what a meme really is. And the idea is that memes can spread and evolve a bit like genes, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed to use the drawing u/Appoxo made.

    Edit:
    Funny why I'm downvoted for describing what a meme actually is???
    God people are either stupid or vengeful here!!

    "You" created it, you say?

    I willed it into existence by utilizing another non-organic entity to manifest it.

    And I am a real person. Thus the "" are falsely used.
    Better use them this way: "Created"

    Both are valid. You didn't create it. Putting quotes around "created" indicates I believe a different verb (eg. "requested") would be accurate. Putting quotes around "you" indicates that the AI was the one who created it. They're kind of a package deal here so either works.
