In Internet chat, memes have become an indispensable content for people to convey meaning and feelings.
People of different ages and circles also have different preferences for memes, and a look in love beans, an image in film and television works, the content specially created by the painter, and even a flower and grass can become a widely disseminated meme.
There is such a type of meme, they can often cross the circle layer, while expressing the inner thoughts, but also to meet some of the speaker's psychological needs, almost in any context can be used.
They are the animals that coexist with humans on this earth, whether they are cats, dogs, cats, dogs and dogs that have the best relationship with humans, or niche pets such as parrots and reptiles, or wild animals in nature that we have never been exposed to. As long as they are cute and funny enough, they can be made into memes by us.
The most famous animal emoji is this Shiba Inu figure that we call "doge" (aka "annoying dog").
It was a Shiba Inu named kabosu, abandoned by its owner and nearly euthanized, but was fortunately adopted by a kindergarten teacher in 2008. Later, the owner also opened a blog for him and other pets in the family, dedicated to recording their daily lives.
In February 2010, the owner posted a series of photos on the blog, one of which was a "doge" image.
Because the expression is too expressive, the map has exploded around the world and become popular on the Internet. In addition to the original picture and related secondary creations, many domestic social media have also created emoji based on it, which is still the most commonly used expression for netizens.
Coincidentally, November 2 is kabosu's 16th birthday, netizens at home and abroad have published love packages to celebrate its birthday, and social media has ushered in another round of "doge" wind.
In addition to doge, other animal emojis have also won the hearts of netizens, and this saluted cat cat picture is the recent meme rookie.
Because the expression of cats and cats is expressive, the gesture of salute is serious and cute, so it is used in various contexts.
Whether you want to send a perfunctory teacher's "receipt", thank someone who has helped you, or ease the awkward atmosphere, this meme is your right-hand man.
In addition, this cat cat has a variety of different types of memes, which always meet the needs you want to express.
For example, when a parent suddenly calls out his full name, this secret observation hidden behind the quilt can be used.
If you are still unfortunate enough to be caught, you can send out this "choked by fate" meme and try to get through the pass.
To show protest, this "cat cat fist" is also the best choice to express your defiant feelings.
Of course, in addition to this cat that is famous for its salute, you must have seen these cat and cat emojis with eyebrows and blush on the Internet.
The brush is like a soul syringe, a few simple strokes can make this already cute cat a little more gritty, inspiring you to overcome the difficulties of life, study or work.
In addition to praising you, it will also sell cuteness for you, help you be proud in the love field, if you are worried about how to provoke a topic with your sweetheart, you may wish to use this salty and sweet cat cat.
Perhaps to your surprise, the above two cats are actually from the "Help Dundae Surfing Manual" and "Fragrant Soft Little Puffs", which are the two B station owners.
The name of the salute cat is called "Gang Gang", and its owner is the well-known up owner in the game area "kb stay and stay", usually in addition to contributing some related content and live broadcast, it will also post its own two cats.
During a live broadcast, Kb stayed and was recording the gang licking his feet on the cat rack, during which he couldn't help but bark.
Hearing the master's shout, the gang also stopped their movements and looked at the camera in a daze. Because he was lying in a bowl-shaped nest, his limbs could not be stretched out immediately, so the foot he had just licked was still in mid-air.
This magical moment was immediately intercepted by fans, and after simple processing, the salute cat became a "panacea" and was frantically reprinted.
The blush cat "Little Puff" completed his "out of the circle show" in the arms of his master.
At that time, the little puff was being held in the arms of her master, swinging her small claws and claws to greet the camera. As a mixture of American short and Scottish folded ears, Little Puff inherits the natural beauty of her parents, and her high appearance and cute movements allow it to capture the joy of thousands of viewers in an instant.
Some netizens with big brains took these cute moments and used the brush to carry out a simple post-production, so there were several widely circulated likes and confidence emojis.
Of course, not only cute animals can win the attention of netizens. In the first half of this year, a wild animal called "Tibetan fox" received unprecedented attention for "hitting faces".
If you've seen a documentary called Earth Pulse on Station B, you'll be confused by one of the scenes in Episode 7.
This episode is about creatures on the steppe, when the camera captures a dazed-eyed Tibetan fox somewhere in Tibet, the number of bullet screens suddenly doubles, most of which are "emoji provenance", "come to take a group photo", "Is Xiao Liang you"...
It is not difficult to understand that the appearance of this Tibetan fox should be very similar to the "Xiao Liang" mentioned in the bullet screen. Just wondering what this person is all about? Can it be well known by many netizens?
That is natural, because this Xiao Liang's identity is very special, and he has full confidence to leave a deep impression on the hearts of netizens. Of course, it is not because of the face similar to the Tibetan fox, but by the lofty scientific and technological and professional knowledge reserves.
Xiao Liang, whose full name is Zhang Chenliang, is the deputy editor-in-chief of the Youth Edition of China National Geographic magazine and the director of the China National Geographic Media Center.
Over the years, he has relied on his Weibo account "Museum Magazine" and the series of videos "Internet Celebrity Popular Bio Identification" to expose the common but little-known creatures in the public's life and debunk those strange rumors that mislead people.
Usually, Xiao Liang focuses the lens on the creatures to be popularized and carefully describes their characteristics, so for a long time, people did not know the true appearance of this "popular science male god".
Because Xiao Liang's popular science videos are funny and humorous and easy to understand, some funny netizens often send some flawed fake creatures (especially "water monkeys") to Xiao Liang to see if this professional will make such a popular science or reaction.
As netizens thought, when Xiao Liang saw these fake creatures, he first followed the netizens' brain circuits to "popularize science".
Then suddenly turn the camera to yourself, slap the camera (the netizen in front of you) several times or "threaten" the netizens with a double knuckle stick.
Sometimes Xiao Liang will also begin to doubt life because the fake creatures sent by netizens are too outrageous.
Since then, netizens have finally known the true appearance of Xiao Liang: single eyelids, square face, dazed look, at first glance, and an animal called the Tibetan fox is quite similar.
As a result, the Tibetan fox and Xiao Liang were deeply linked, and a large number of two creations related to the two were born, which were frantically circulated on major social platforms.
However, in the process of circulation, the providers and users of memes also had to face a problem--- portrait rights.
Generally speaking, the dispute over portrait rights lies in whether the user has damaged the image and commercialized the portrait. Although most users currently use these memes directly or simply for daily communication, they rarely violate the image rights of the provider.
And even if it really damages the rights and interests of the provider, due to the large base and wide range of use of memes, it is difficult to explore the source, so not many portrait providers are willing to pursue the responsibility for infringement.
In addition, because memes/memes are a product of secondary creation, some people will recreate them on the basis of secondary creations, which further complicates the already difficult to characterize the issue of portrait rights. On the mobile game platform tap tap, there is a game called "Hidden Fox Detective Water Monkey Killing Incident" that has triggered heated discussion among netizens.
Obviously, whether you look at the name or the game interface, it is not difficult to find that the creators used the Tibetan fox emojis derived from Infinite Little Bright as the material for the game.
Regardless of the quality of the game itself, although the game is currently a free trial version, due to the use of a large number of Tibetan fox and water monkey images as materials, and a large number of commercial advertisements inserted in it, so in the eyes of many players and netizens who have tried to play, "Hidden Fox Detective" has been involved in infringement.
After learning about this matter, Xiao Liang, the source of the emoji, also said on his personal social account that he had not participated in the creation of the game and was not aware of his use of his own emoji, but it was difficult for him to determine whether the game was infringing.
In view of the fact that he did not authorize it, Xiao Liang made it clear that all the consequences caused by the game had nothing to do with him.
After I expressed my position, netizens also stood on Xiao Liang's side, believing that "Hidden Fox Detective" was more or less infringing. The game production team also issued a statement on taptap, admitting that they did not get the relevant authorization, but also explained that the game did not charge any fees, but only out of personal interest.
I apologize for the impact of the game, and they will learn a lesson in the future creation to avoid a similar problem from happening again.
As of now, no one can give a conclusive conclusion as to whether "Hidden Fox Detective" is infringing, and the game is still on the taptap platform for players to play.
In fact, the second creation is a gray area, and there has been no corresponding conclusion on whether the infringement is infringed or not, and the degree is high or low. In the field of film and television and books, the fans' second creations often have the function of publicity, and the excellent creations of the fans' spontaneous can be widely disseminated online and offline.
Therefore, the producer can expand the scope of influence of the original work without investing or investing less money and energy. Therefore, without seriously affecting the rights and interests of the producer, it is generally tacit to the birth and dissemination of the second creation.
In the Internet era of traffic monetization, the spread of animal emojis is a kind of publicity and monetization for portrait providers. For some cute pet bloggers, they are naturally willing to spread this kind of communication; for Xiaoliang science popularization workers, they are also willing to get more netizens' attention.
However, when the beneficiary of the spread is no longer the provider of the meme, it is easy to fall into the dispute of infringement.
For most people, memes are just tools to help them convey emotions, and few people will specifically explore their origins and whether they harm the actual interests of the people involved.
The reason is simple, that is, the speed of information change is far beyond people's imagination.
In this era when the Internet has no memory, people's enthusiasm for old information will soon be overshadowed by new information, especially for emojis, which are only visually shocking information.
Many times, when people learn about the birth of an emoji, new emojis begin to become popular again.
This is the inevitable rapid development of the Internet, and it is also the threshold for testing the charm of an emoji.
A few years ago, the "power of the flood", "Pippi shrimp", "blue skinny mushroom" have long ceased to be popular; "there is no such worldly desire", "three points of tea drinking" have gradually begun to decline;
I wonder how long these animals can persist in this huge amount of information?
