I do too, but I don’t like them enough to spend even a whole day making a representation of one (hell, sometimes I just describe to someone what a meme would be like instead of going to the trouble of a few minutes’ work to make it). We’ve all got different levels of tolerance for that, but do they amuse you enough for months-years of effort?

Did eunuchs grow beards?

I don't think it was prohibited, and they would still have androgen hormones to help with that

I'd guess it started as a sort of painting exercise.

I mean, yeah, but why choose memes? Do they literally just like looking at them (for hundreds of hours)? If so, why- as in what feeling do they get when they look at memes? Have memes played a significant role in their life? Are they making a statement about the world- and if so, what?

is classical paintings of memes not a meme in itself and in becoming so, has it not become art?

That’s one way of seeing it! I’d be interested in hearing more about their thoughts in that case. If they weren’t considering that, I’d want to know what their motivations were.

The only thing I’m saying here is that I don’t think this person has no personality. Even if they were just doing it for the meme, there’s something deeper there.
