Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

Ok so rain world has hundreds of memes about it. Does it count as a meme, a subculture, or is it just a game with a meme community?

You'd do well to bring evidence, examples, and sources to back that idea up. Otherwise it sounds like you're astroturfing.

what is astroturfing

i'm quite new here

Astroturfing is when someone advertises something while making that advertisement look like a normal person recommending said thing
But in the case of rainworld, its pretty niche, but i've seen more than enough people making stuff about it that it would be great to have an entry on it.
And i'd say it would be a subculture

Rain World is a game that has a dedicated fan base with a strong meme community. While the game itself is not inherently a meme, the fan base has created and shared a variety of memes related to the game. These memes have become a part of the subculture surrounding the game and have contributed to the game's popularity and longevity.

Therefore, it is more accurate to say that Rain World is a game with a meme community, rather than a meme or a subculture in and of itself.

OK thank you :)
