Reddit users often consider themselves to be out of the mainstream, the opposite of normies. Reddit Good/TikTok Bad memes emphasize this distinction, dragging TikTok for being a normie-ridden cringe incubator and praising Reddit as a superior platform.

These memes often overlap with the sentiments expressed in Reddit users’ reactions to the Fortnite TikTok collaboration: Emote Royale. Memes making fun of TikTok are based largely on Reddit users’ platform loyalty, favoring a social media site based on anonymous posts and memes rather than silly dance videos and hyper-viral trends.
