In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “My answer to Mediapart” is a legendary card of the Cancel & Dramas pack, number 6 of the collection, and the 7th best-known meme of its 117 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “My answer to Mediapart” meme mean?
The meme highlights situations where an individual or organization faces criticism and retaliates with an excessively long, calculated speech. Internet users invoke it to mock someone caught red-handed who attempts to control the narrative through extensive counter-arguments, portraying their reaction as defensive, awkward, or out of proportion with reality.
Where does the “My answer to Mediapart” meme come from?
The meme stems from an investigative report published by French media outlet Mediapart on June 23, 2022, detailing severe allegations against popular science creator Léo Grasset, known as DirtyBiology. After remaining silent for several months under legal advice, Grasset uploaded an approximately 35-minute video on YouTube on November 19, 2022, titled “Ma réponse à Mediapart”. In this upload, he denied the claims and criticized the press investigation. The framing and tone of this extensive denial quickly turned into a template online to satirize influencer apology videos and solemn counter-statements.
