 "QUESTION 5: What is the
 meaning of this meme?"
wuackamole:

drowningxlessons:
I literally heard the sentence in my head and it’s proof positive that this has evolved into its own language 
This meme primarily refers to the movie Toy Story, in which the toy cowboy, Woody, has a soundbox that sometimes says, “There’s a snake in my boot,” when the string on his back is pulled. The meme is from an anime and with no edits, the image shows a boy gesturing to a butterfly with a caption reading, “Is this a pigeon?”. It is commonly overlaid with other words or images in order to denote a change in who is speaking, what the speaker thinks the object they are gesturing at may be, and what the object actually is. This particular version of the meme, however, the image at the bottom, where the caption would normally be located, is another meme commonly known by the contemporary meme-makers and -viewers as the “free real estate” meme, due to the phrase the man uses in the advertisement from which the meme originates: “It’s free real estate.” Putting all these broken-down aspects of the meme together, we can translate the meme into written words. The snake gestures to the cowboy boots and thinks, “Is this free real estate?” noting its cluelessness in regards to the fact that it likely should not slither into Woody the cowboy’s boot.

    Gestures: Mendes admits that the attention on his
 personal life has caused him a lot of stress. "I'd
 like to say I don't care about it, but that's not
 true," he says. This brings him to another, much
 thornier issue that he's been forced to navigate:
 "This massive, massive thing for the last five
 years about me being gay."
 Examples of what he means are all over
 YouTube and Twitter. There are memes that pair
 photos of Mendes with jokes about being
 closeted and videos that scrutinize his gestures.
 On some parts of the Internet, outing him has
 become a spectator sport. Mendes often finds
 himself watching his own interviews, analyzing
 his voice and his body language. He'll see an
 anonymous stranger comment on the way he
 crossed his legs once and try not to do it again
 He pulls out his phone to show me his Twitter
 account - his name is the only recent search
 "In the back of my heart, I feel like I need to go
 be seen with someone - like a girl - in public,
 to prove to people that I'm not gay," he says.
 "Even though in my heart I know that it's not a
 bad thing. There's still a piece of me that thinks
 that. And I hate that side of me."

 Swift was texting Mendes a cellphone video of them together, just to make
 sure he was cool with her posting it - a short clip of the night they were
 hanging out backstage at her Reputation tour and she put her glittery eye
 makeup on Mendes' face, to his delight. He told her it was fine without
 thinking, but later that night, he woke up in a cold sweat. "I felt sick," he
 said. "I was like, Fuck, why did I let her post that?' I just fed the fire that
 I'm terrified of.

    Gestures: Body Language Cheat Sheet for Writers
 All body language must be considered in context, but if you've set your scene and established your
 characters, a little body language can help!
 Anger
 Distress
 Anger is one expression of fight-or-flight mode
 an automatic, instinctive reaction to a threat. In
 many cases, there is an underlying fear of being
 harmed. Thanks to autonomic nervous system
 arousal, the heart rate increases, pupils dilate
 and the face may flush. Other signs of anger:
 Men in particular have a tendency to
 stroke or rub the nape of the neck when
 they're upset. It acts as a self-soothing
 gesture to deal with a "pain in the neck.
 Crossed arms arms act like a
 protective barrier
 Self-hugging- arms are crossed, hands
 gripping upper arms
 One-arm cross one arm crosses the
 body to hold or touch the other arm
 women keep a hand on a purse or bag
 strap to make this look more natural
 Clutching a purse, briefcase, or bag with
 both arms
 Adjusting cuffs or cuff-links (men's
 version of the purse-strap grab)
 Folding the hands together in front of

Author and doctor of clinical psychology Carolyn Kaufman has released a one-page body language cheat sheet of psychological “tells” (PDF link) fiction writers can use to dress their characters.

 he understand that it was an accident???? like i said sorry but i

 Yes, if you react in a way similar to how another dog would
 react to accidentally harming a play mate or a pack mate.
 That's why, when dogs are playing (especially noticeable in
 puppies, as they're still learning bite inhibition), and one dog
 yelps loudly and sharply, like a dog does if you step on its paw or
 tail, if you react by immediately jumping back, not doing the
 thing again, and giving friendly, appeasing gestures (nice
 petting, ear scratching, chin scratching, etc...or if you were
 another dog, submissive gestures, muzzle licking, things that
 say nono sorry! Im not a threat to you!") the dog does, in fact,
 realize that you weren't attacking or trying to be mean and that
 it was accidental
 That's also why advice to puppy owners or owners trying to
 retrain a dog that was never taught to not bite during play are
 advised to yelp like a hurt dog if their puppy/dog gets too rough
 and immediately stop play and turn away, because that's a clear
 signal to the dog that they hurt you and you're upset now
 Most dogs will immediately 'apologize' in dog language for that
 as, especially if it was during play, their intent wasn't to hurt
 anyone, just to have fun. They'lI also tend to react that way if
 you yelp if they step on you. 1 know I've yelped at Bear a few
 times because his big 105lb ass is HEAVY and does not feel nice
 on a foot.
 Woah the reverse tactic wow
 This is SO IMPORTANT 1 am so glad that there is a way 1 can
 communicate an apology to a doggo if I accidentally step on their
 paw...because the only alternative would be exiling myself to the
 arctic to escape my shame
 Can confirm this works btw, I used this info to train (ask) my dog to
 stop biting (she used to bite very hard with her very sharp teeth)

 Woah the reverse tactic wow
 This is SO IMPORTANT 1 am so glad that there is a way 1 can
 communicate an apology to a doggo if I accidentally step on their
 paw...because the only alternative would be exiling myself to the
 arctic to escape my shame
 Can confirm this works btw, I used this info to train (ask) my dog to
 stop biting (she used to bite very hard with her very sharp teeth)

I’ll be honest with you it was the strength of my wife who trained me and told me, “If this situation happens, let’s leave.” And the training worked because I did not go into my first reaction, I grabbed her hand, we left, but the next day I went right to the agency. I have texts, I have phone conversations, and I said, “This is unacceptable!” And I told them how -you know- I almost got violent, but I didn’t. And I said, “What are you going to do about this predator that you have roaming your hallways?” And -you know- I was told, “We are going to do everything in our power. We are going to handle this Terry. You’re right. It is unacceptable.” And then they disappeared. Nothing happened.</p>

<p>This is real fucking infuriating.  This shit isn’t funny.  Fuck them and anyone who makes fun of Terry Crews speaking out and taking a stand.</p>

<p>

for those who don’t know the context, this is Terry Crews testifying about being sexually assaulted by Adam Venit during a Senate hearing about a proposed bill called the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights. While I don’t like that Senator Feinstein said what she said, I think it opened the door for a great statement from Terry about WHY he didn’t fight back - since so many people respond to male victims with “oh well you’re bigger than your rapist, why didn’t you push him or her off of you? why didn’t you punch him or her? did you want it or something?” And they don’t listen. Maybe finally people will listen. </p>
<p>This shows that anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, even a tall, strong, hulking guy like Terry Crews. And I hope him coming forward with his accusations convinces other victims to realize that it being a victim isn’t something to be ashamed of and to take down their attackers, and push the justice system to FINALLY take male rape and assault seriously. <br/></p>
