Wait. Teddy Santis ripped off Derek? Was he aware, or did he just think he was passing down a meme? How are those credited anyway?

He's taking it in stride:

 

[gdl203]

He just reposted a story from some account that posted all of Derek’s thread, just without his name on top. Not sure Santis even knew about it.

Kind of surprised Teddy is only seeing it now because that meme went pretty viral when Derek posted it.

Pretty wild. I wonder how attribution of this type of thing even works in internet space. I mean, this is a case about which we know the origins, but finding out the origin of specific myths, memes, urban legends, etc… is a full time job for an army of ethnographers.

Exactly. It's not like Derek credits his posts each time he uses a meme or something. And no one expects him to either. Most of the time it's just not done.

aren't memes usually like found assemblages anyways ? and then you slap whatever cherry on it and it send along to be reabsorbed into the zeitgeist

rft: being able to look at clothing in person is 1000X more helpful than looking online.
