    I agree with that and I am actually glad you voiced the opinion because seeing all the upvotes on this makes me wonder about the communities taste a bit.

      People probably saw it and had a slight chuckle and hit the up arrow.

      I think that’s probably it. It doesn’t need to be authentic or true to the character to elicit that response. I doubt it’s some deep thing, or that there’s something seriously wrong with the community.

      Besides, I think the fact that this is extremely unlike Rom is somewhat of a subversion of expectations, and is a deliberate part of the joke. I think that’s being missed.

      I’m well aware that Rom would never say that, but nor would the vast majority of characters say what they do in the memes posted here.
