Memes have become a cultural thing for Gen Z. They don’t always have to make sense but there’s no denying that they are funny! Unfortunately, some memes get popular because they make fun of certain people.
Local YouTuber Yang Bao Bei (杨宝贝) aka Kalysta YBB is no exception. Infamous for her scamming fiasco last year, YBB has a laundry list of things people can make fun of. Facebook meme group 蹭热度的hahameme held nothing back as they targeted YBB over her morals, or rather, lack of it.
On 6th March, the group admin posted a meme and tagged YBB in it. It showed Tom from “Tom and Jerry” with two different personalities. One was captioned, “My friend before the (Moral paper),” and it has vulgar words. The second part is captioned: “During the Moral paper,” and shows a primmer Tom with known moral values written about him.
In the comments section, the admin took it a step further. “Grades aren’t everything, but I still wish all candidates (a) good grades!” they wrote and added another meme of YBB showing off her SPM grades. She had apparently scored 6As and 3Bs then. However, they added to the photo, “So what if you got 6As and 3Bs for SPM? (Doesn’t change the fact) that you’re still a scum of society.”
Needless to say, YBB did not take the supposed joke well. “It’s better than your bad grades and no achievements,” she retorted. “You can only (post) memes here, you can even show your face, (bad) edit.” The admin had their own spicy comeback ready, however. “Better than cheating fans of money, (and) stealing their phones and IC.” The reference was to YBB’s former scams to clear her gambling debts.
YBB also responded to the second meme with acidic wrath in her Instagram Story. She explained her results did not reflect her character. “I worked hard in the past to obtain good results,” she stated. “At least I’m changing myself for the better.” The YouTuber added she had no respect for the meme group admin who “has bad grades, bad character and mocks others for not being able to study“.
To be fair to the influencer, this isn’t the first time the page has used her as the butt of their jokes. However, most of the time, she goes along with it and is rather amiable about being made fun off. It seems this one simply hit a sore spot.
YBB has been constantly emphasising her change of heart since she apologised for her wrongdoings. However, it will likely take a while for people to forgive and forget it. For now, all she can do is to persist in her change and prove it continuously.
