Editing OkBuddyRetard (subreddit) (section)

=== Founding of Subreddit ===
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being "BHJ but even stupider." The premise of the subreddit and the origin of its name was "The Original" image as discussed earlier.

OkBR was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. 

In 2018, early in the subreddit's life, its current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly:<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/</ref>

{{Quote|It's a form of post-post-irony where a meme is re-contextualized as a response to the general boredom and apathy that it seems a lot of the kinds of people who browse have developed for popular meme culture. No other subs really encompass this in the same way, all of them having their own sub-cultures. This board (tries) to avoid that. Every post is different (even if there are occasionally some running themes which honestly I think it'd be best to avoid)|[[Lemonade1947]]}}

He went on to say

{{Quote|I think it's really about this sub's rejection of even the most "edgy" meme cultures. It's lack of a specific culture is what defines it. The joyful irony here is that it's only possible for the sub to reject this culture -because- they have a deep understanding of it.|[[Lemonade1947]]}}
