英語圏のミームって日本語圏に全然知られてないよね。安倍晋三がガン決まった顔で「セックスをしなさい」と言ってくるというミームがあるらしい。

こっちのミームも知ってください〜‼️

I honestly wonder how come they’ve chosen Abe for the qrazy sex-promoter in the meme, rather than other leaders of nations. If you’re an X-user in Anglosphere and know why plz lemme know that.

Great thanks to you all for sharing information! Why Japan? → ’cuz it’s the most famous for its declining birth rate. Why Abe? (rather than any other Japanese PMs that’ve also dealt with birth rate issues.) → ’cuz he’s also known for his anime-promoting policies.

One more question: what’s ‘See you, space cowboy’? They often say the phrase when they refer to the meme. I’ve learnt that it came from ‘Cowboy Bebop’, but does that anime or the phrase have sth to do with Abe or the idea of promoting sex? (like, associated to cowboy position?)

Thanks for all the replies!! It’s just a slangish phrase to say goodbye to somebody leaving in some bittersweet tone, and Abe’s not promoting any particular sex position. All right.

@amapichannel It isn't making fun of him, actually, but celebrating him. While not too well-known even amongst the anime-watching anglosphere, he was fondly remembered for supporting anime/manga, and since the other primary thing we were exposed to was his fighting the birth rate, we do this.

@KainYusanagi Sorry for my bad English, I said ‘make fun of’ just to mean ‘make jokes upon’. Thank you for remembering him, anyway.

@amapichannel I really like how people from different countries get similarly qrazy when they enjoy memes, especially those that make fun of politicians.

@amapichannel It goes both ways. My friends were very surprised when we saw a Jay Kay figure available for pre order in 2023 because they did not know it was a meme in Japan.

@amapichannel The meme isn't making fun of him. The meme is more of a memorial. It was made after his death as a tribute to his work in improving Japan's Birthrates.

@amapichannel I used to teach ESL japanese, you use “q” for “qrazy” to phonetically make “crazy”? Do you use a software translator or from english schooling? I rarely see japanese esl speakers use “q”.
