The internet is a very big place with niches for pretty much every weirdo ever. It would make sense that very specific content catering to all the world's special snowflakes would exist as well. As you can see from these tweets, memes, and pics, some people go above and beyond to make sure they are represented. And we're so glad they do.

We covered 'Is This A Pigeon' just last week, but the meme is continuing to blow up in a big way. It's being used in the contexts of history, pop culture, and even in some seriously meta ways. You could say it's become self-aware. Enjoy them before they're banished to the meme graveyard forever.
Since its May 5th release, Childish Gambino's video for 'This Is America' is being hailed as a work of astute political art. Its imagery is a bold attack on racial discrimination and violence in the United States, a rollercoaster ride of singing, dancing and relentlessly random violence. Amidst all the critical praise and examinations, the oft-controversial media site Vice published a piece begging the internet not to meme the video. By publishing this piece, they essentially ensured that Donald Glover's art would unapologetically receive the royal meme treatment.
Following the publication of the Vice piece, communities such as r/memeeconomy and r/dankmemes immediately created backlash memes in response. Along with the usual object-labeling memes and niche memes, memers started creating examples that specifically attack the news site. While there are plenty of people who agree that the video should not be taken lightly, Vice has essentially proved that no subject is too taboo for Reddit abuse.
Need to express any form of confusion whatsoever? This is the meme for you. It features a classic anime screencap from The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird, in which a humanoid character mistakes a butterfly for a pigeon. The screencap itself is amusing, but memers are taking it to the next level and applying that confusion to everything under the sun.
The multi-talented Donald Glover hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and Star Wars fans will be happy to know that his Lando made an appearance as well. In the skit, the smooth-talking leader of Cloud City is holding a summit to honor all of the black humans in space. There's just one problem: he is one of just four. Glover's portrayal of the former smuggler is absolute perfection, leaving us even more stoked for Solo's late May release.
