Valentine's Weekend Meme Roundup: Are You Seriously Watching, Astolfo Monster Can, Place, Japan

This past weekend was Valentine's Day, a day of romance and giving gifts to significant others. Valentine's Day is also associated with dangerous levels of hornyposting, which was found all over the internet in the past week.

This weekend specifically had not one, but two very lewd memes trending, with a third more innocent one on the sideline. The memes themselves are very diverse though, as Are You Seriously Watching Porn By Yourself is a series of video formats, Astolfo Monster Can is about a real-life person and Place, Japan is both about real places and also fictionalized locations.

Are You Seriously Watching Porn By Yourself?

Are You Seriously Watching Porn By Yourself is a series of edits done in the fashion of adult-website advertisements that frequently pop up online. While this isn't the first time that this meme itself has been seen, with the last notable example being found within VR Chat, it seems that this previous weekend it hit a resurgence. This meme enjoyed frequent posting and new creative examples being posted on various social media, often used as part of a bait-and-switch media.

Astolfo Monster Can

Astolfo Monster Can refers to the nudes posted by an Astolfo cosplayer, displaying a Monster Energy can next to something noticeably bigger. Much to the surprise of the cosplayer, Twitter went wild talking about Astolfo's pork sword, even catching the attention of the female voice actor for Astolfo in the Fate series. As expected, many memes were made either poking fun at the prospect of the feminine Astolfo packing and not lacking, or of Monster Energy drinks and lewd ways to drink them.

Place, Japan

Place, Japan is a meme format that pokes fun at how weebs love things from Japan even if they are very similar to things they dislike in their own country. The way this meme is formatted is to have two contrasting images next to each other, with one being an average Western locale and the other being a place in Japan. This contrast of images uses a soyjak in a mock-up of the Drakeposting format to show how the soys prefer Japan to the same thing in the West.
