also what's with the "meme game" thing
honestly if you want my best guess
it has superficial qualities associated with a particular culture, but because it's so difficult to pin down what exactly bothers them about a thing they don't like, they go with the first thing to come to mind as obnoxious - their memes
now, "bauglir," you might be saying, "virtually every online community has memes of some kind"
and that's true, but it's very easy to look at the spray of memes emanating from any given community and, because you lack the context or familiarity with what spawned them, conclude that the memes are all the community is, and that therefore the community is one built on memes, and that's what really binds it together and so on and so forth
your memes are okay, because they're just a reflection of the underlying ideas of your community; their memes are cancer, because they're just a veneer hiding the lack of any underlying ideas in their community - it's all they are, so they're the "meme group"
now, as to why people see only one Other community out there to get the moniker without creating undue confusion, i don't know
perhaps my own ideas on how the big social cleavage of folks with a gaming identity lies along the value placed on empathy are correct instead of my own particular breed of tribalism and smugness, or more likely there's some other, better, explanation out there, or just possibly it's evidence that i'm oversimplifying and just generally wrong about this whole thing
