The offline culture
is setting standards for the religious and political implications of this post
because the idea of "True love wins" comes from a pro- LGBT culture
that the Instagram user does not agree with. While being against LGBT marriage
is an unpopular stance, the user is replicating authenticate conservative
Christians beliefs by putting them in a new context online. The offline culture
does influence the online culture of this meme because the Christian beliefs
come from the conservative offline culture that is considered to be the most
authenticate in the eyes of conservative religious leaders. But the offline and
online contexts can again be considered blurred since the user is taking the
idea of Christ dying on the cross and merging it with a phrase that was meant
for the LGBT community. The user has created a new realm, online, to argue
ideals that began in the offline church.
This meme is
undermining Hillary's credibility by insinuating that the founder of planned
parenthood was racist. Both quotes were created in the offline media, and
brought into the online media together to make a point. Because abortion is an
important issue for evangelical Christians, this meme may delve into the
blurred lines of offline and online because when Hillary praised Margaret
Sanger, she was not necessarily praising her stance on Black Americans. This
meme, creates a new realm by placing the two quotes side by side, making an
argument against abortion for Conservative Christians. Abortion is treated as a
sin in many conservative churches, offline and the meme follows closely to that
to be considered authenticate by many conservative Christians.
