About Bell Curve

The "Bell Curve" meme, a derivative of the Wojak meme family, illustrates a spectrum of understanding or insight into a given topic using a normal distribution graph. It typically features three distinct Wojak characters: a simplistic "brainlet" at the low end (representing naive or uninformed views), a crying or stressed "soyjak" in the middle (representing the average, sometimes misguided, mainstream opinion), and an "ascended" or "enlightened" character at the high end (representing a deeper, often cynical or contrarian, understanding). Originating from online communities, particularly 4chan, it satirizes common perceptions by categorizing different viewpoints, implying that true insight often lies beyond the mainstream. It's widely used for ironic commentary, social critique, or humorously pointing out perceived intellectual disparities in discussions.
