Well, historical context is easy to lose, especially with internet memes. I recently came across an older article[0] with this sentence in the middle:

> (The Imgur previously featured in this story doesn’t credit him at all, which is some bogus, Fat Jew-style shit.)

Being unaware that "Fat Jew" was the handle of someone who got internet famous but was caught stealing other people's jokes, I was really puzzled for a second what could have warranted that random anti-Semitic statement.
