      That’s the real answer. The subreddit was a response to BPT, which focused on distinctly subcultural elements the same way as e.g. Scottish People Twitter. WPT was the more generic internet-culture screenshot clearinghouse.

      Other instances have wisely decided to call that space “Microblog Memes.”

        Didn’t know there was such a thing as “Scottish people twitter” which sounds just as dumb as black/white people twitter

      So is this a sub created by white people who felt excluded from the black people community?I really need to know. This has bugged me for quite some time.
