Our meme is called “No More Bitches!” In our meme we aim to play a social satire on the relevant issue surrounding everyone all over the world on Homophobia. Our meme consists of an image of two animals (Dogs) with a caption (for now) along with it providing a humorous and social message.
 * __About Meme: __**

**__Inspired By: __** It is similar to the “O RLY” bird and was inspired mostly by the “Advice Dog” meme, “Human Dog” meme and also by the “Broccoli Dog” meme. Our meme is inspired by the “O RLY” bird meme is a way that this was one of the first meme’s of its time and it was essentially a pictorial meme. It used a picture of an animal (Bird/Owl) coupled with some text and our meme is also using the same technique to captivate its audience. Our meme is similar to the “Advice Dog” meme in a way such as the advice dog meme first started off in an extremely innocent fashion where the cute image of a dog was paired with some text. In general this meme was used in a way to give people advice in the form of a pseudo guru. Our meme is also similar in this respect, only our meme provides a social message rather than advice. We have still used the concept of dogs as we feel it’s a universal thing that attracts people’s attention. Another one of our inspirations is the “Human Dog” meme, this is a series of videos that shows different dogs dressed up as humans, doing acts such as reading a news paper, eating food on a dining table etc. Our inspiration was that if humans portray a human behaviour or actions, the audience won’t be attracted to it since the outline would become too «usual», on the other hand if an animal (character) would be used, such as the one used in «the human dog» meme, would definitely appeal to audience since its «unusual». Therefore in our meme «No more Bitches», we have followed the same idea to disperse a simple message in an attractive way. It is simply a meme of two Dogs who are portraying an emotion of love or attraction towards the same sex. The “Broccoli Dog” meme is the character in the image which shows an understandable distance of a dog to broccoli. The message which this meme conveys is simple: «I don’t want it». This is done in a very appealing manner by using a pictorial representation to outline a human behaviour of rejecting undesirable things. Similarly our meme also relies on a pictorial representation which conveys a message of social awareness relating to issues of homosexuality. Moreover we have also used the capacity of a dog to deliver the message.

**__Message being conveyed through the meme: __**  The message which we are looking to convey in our meme is that there is a lot of hatred shown towards homosexuality and people with the said sexual orientation, but what the world does not realise is that homosexuality is not a choice. There are many homosexuals out there who wish they could just choose out of their sexual preference if they could, just so that they don’t have to face the pressure of pseudo-puritanical beliefs within society. **__Theme: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">The meme uses harsh words in parts to reflect a strong retaliation and a message for society that homosexuals should not be forced to justify their actions. This is done is a very humorous and eye catching fashion. It plays on the genre of social satire. This meme deals with a very relevant and growing issue. Moreover, it does not represent any particular race, religion, society, etc. Instead it uses the capacity of an animal (Dog) to convey a message in a brief and humorous manner. **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Appeal of our meme: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"> We have used the trick of having slag (harsh) word in our meme, this was done so as to attract the attention of the masses, however, it is done in such a fashion so that no one is insulted in the process and it does not sound or appear vulgar in any way. **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Reference to our Inspirations: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">“O RLY?” Bird Meme <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">“The Human Dog” Meme <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">“Broccoli Dog” Meme <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">“Advice Dog” Meme <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
