A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That sounds very much like a pedophile fantasy.
That's like saying that a lot of people get murdered in Stephen King's stories, so he must have homicidal fantasies.
Horror writers look for ways to shock and shake up their readers, and judging from the comments here, he succeeded.
Jonathan Swift must have really wanted to cannibalize poor children!
I'll never forget bringing that up in a classroom and realizing adults had no idea it was satire.
... This isn't satire and King is in the Epstein files.
This isn't the only pedophile adjacent thing he's written by the way, not even close.
Did I say King's writing was satire? I said Jonathan Swift's short story was satire.
As for King being in the Epstein files, do you have a source for this? I can't seem to find it.
I believe it's heavily implied due to his defense of Epstein.
When did he defend Epstein?
Looks like I misremembered. Specifically, he tweeted that the Epstein list is as real as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.
Downplaying the existence of a list of highly likely pedophiles doesn't really put you in a good light. :/ But he never directly defended Epstein, as far as I can see. That's my error.
Yep when your job is to shock, gross out and give people very specifically a moral and ethical panic attack
You tend to do some fucked up stuff.
I assumed that there was a reason that he agrees with trump on not releasing the Epstein files.
No, King does not agree with Trump not releasing the Epstein files.
King doesn't believe there is a document that clearly lists who is guilty of being a pedophile because that isn't how long running and successful criminal activity works. They have lists of contacts and hints, which have already been released, but not something so cut and dry as a client list.
Even if there is an explicated log book. It's likely filled with worthless pseudonyms, chicken scrawl or some other worthless data.
Making it worthless and basically what we already got
Right. I know that. I assumed the 'list' people were talking about was able to be made with the actual information. Especially with the financial information on where the money was flowing.
The idea that there was 1 specific list that was found isn't the idea being pushed when people say 'Release the Epstein file.' King said he doesn't think a definitive list is real, but we sure do have a lot of information that can be used to create a list. That list can lead to questions that might have valid answers. It will also lead to a lot of pedos...so I'm assuming protecting them is the point of Trump's delay.
King might have his own reason for not wanting a list of people not having to explain their connections with Epstein in the past, but I don't care. Explain it and then move on, if you are innocent. It just feels King is arguing a red herring (about an actual list) instead of the meat and potatoes of going after pedos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah but it's exactly how long running CIA/Mossad blackmail operation works
