Darthmemeus (Instagram Page)

""🔥 Star Wars memes and interactive segments daily🔥""

- -Darthmemeus Instagram Bio Darthmemeus is an Instagram account created on April 29, 2018, by Admin 1 and joined shortly after by Admin 2. Darthmemeus creates memes, news, and interactive segments daily.

Creation
The idea of Darthmemeus began when Admin 1 suggested to Admin 2 that they should make memes and send them to popular Star Wars meme pages at the time such as @starwars_general and @theprequelmemes. Admin 2 then later suggested that they put the memes they made on their own meme page. He suggested a variety of names one of them being @TheGunganCode. Admin 2 rejected these ideas and they settled on @Darthmemeus. Admin 1 then created @Darthmemeus and then posted two collections of memes most of which compared the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy to the Prequel Trilogy.

Temporary Privatization
On August 28th, 2021, Darthmemeus announced in an Instagram story that they intended to switch the account to a private, rather than business, profile. This change was unexpected, as Darthmemeus had been a public business account for over three years at that time. The Admins explained that they were beginning the college admissions process and therefore felt it prudent to hide the account in case anything that they had posted might be interpreted as offensive or insensitive. Admin 2 in particular expressed his concern over this possibility. At 9:42 pm EST on September 1st, 2021, Admin 2 privatized the account during the Seventh Memeus Meetup. While it was never specified what memes Admin 2 was worried about, dedicated fans have speculated that memes like Line 34, the original Post #311 (see "Controversy" below), Line 135, and other similar memes were the leading cause for the decision to privatize.

Controversy
""Racism at it's worst""

- -Carter The Meme Starter Admin 1's dark sense of humor has been the cause of many controversies throughout the years. On September 18th, 2019, Darthmemeus posted a meme that consisted of an image of an African American male rubbing his hands together with the caption "Mace Windu". This meme was deleted by Admin 2 shortly after posting, continuing the pattern of Admin 2 holding back Admin 1's racially charged humor. However, despite it's deletion, the meme was archived by Carter The Meme Starter in order to preserve the evidence of Darthmemeus's racially charged meme.

Trivia
The name Darthmemeus is a reference to the Star Wars character Darth Plagueis
