![]() ![]() The meme originally was spawned from a bug (to be exactly, most common in the Floris mod, sometimes in Native) where whole swadian villages were filled with Butter when looted, nothing else, just butter. There are some people who have spent a TON of hours (to be exactly, two tons) like me and who haven't got the "Conquer Calradia"-Achievement. Everyone who truly appreacitates meme-culture can enjoy the butter-memes.

Everyone sees them, everyone meets King Harlaus, etc. Originally posted by White Knight:The way the game is designed, Swadia is right smack-dad in the middle of the map. Perhaps seeing this play out in the real world, given the state of current events, wears my patience thin? Current events being what they are, I think the last thing anyone needs are more people wearing novelty ball-caps and waving flags. It's just a very distinct example of human beings getting behind a falsehood because they think being a part of a group will increase their social standing or lend them an air of authority.or something? It's embraced and popularized by people who know the least about the game. The part that irks me is that it's stupid and totally misses the point. In the end, what we get are an army of fools who think memes are cool, droning on and on about how much they hate King Harlaus, without realizing that they are playing a complex and wonderful game where each and every King is a scumbag and a loser. On top of that, you add nearly a decade of brainless arguments about which faction is "best". The basic theme of the "joke" is that Harlaus is a loser who hoards butter and would rather sit around admiring his stash of dairy products than be a King. It was a pretty funny joke video made up of in-game footage, mixed with artistic embellishments (like a treasure hoard of butter in King Harlaus' vault). Then there was a video that was put up on the internet some time ago. The way the game is designed, Swadia is right smack-dab in the middle of the map. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF & MANAGING EDITOR OF CONTENTįor years, anyone who asked who was behind the historicallywomens.c0m Instagram page got the same answer: “One singular girl from a Seven Sisters college who likes memes.” It came up a lot, so much so that it’s still the first question listed on the FAQ of the self-described “premiere women’s college meme page.Here's my take on it since I started a wee ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it on another thread. The page’s acclaim began after the 2019 premiere of Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women,” when historicallywomens.c0m posted a package of memes tagging each of the Seven Sisters as its characters. What ensued was thousands of comments and reposts, a weekslong feud between college students about whether or not Barnard was truly Amy and an explosion of popularity for the Instagram page. The account went from 1,000 to over 10,000 followers in a matter of days, and suddenly it was home to a new, younger community of current students at historically women’s colleges throughout the country. The creator pledged to remain anonymous so that followers wouldn’t think the content was biased. She reaffirmed that she was a student at a Seven Sisters college, but refused to say which. Though everyone knows I came from only one institution, the mystery surrounding ‘which one?’ sort of validates my content.” In a Smith Sophian article about the infamous “Little Women” meme from May 2020, the creator said, “While I try to stay neutral, I do have this wealth of knowledge about my own institution and mostly run off of hearsay for other schools. ![]() She continued, “There’s something exciting about posting anonymously.”īut as the academic year comes to a close and her younger sister prepares to graduate from Smith, the Mount Holyoke alum behind the viral online meme page is ready to open up about the community she created and her role behind it. Mary Estrera ’19 first thought that historically women’s colleges needed a better social media presence while applying to colleges her senior year of high school. “I really wished that I had a space where I could learn about the different schools and their different cultures,” she explained. Three years later, she launched historicallywomens.c0m on Instagram to share memes she made about her student experience. “Where I come from in Texas, there’s a lot of football culture and school rivalry,” Estrera said. ![]()
