The GameStop short squeeze is a meme-splattered discount The Big Short
, the movie chronicling the GameStop short squeeze of 2021, goes to great lengths to emphasize this. The story is familiar to anyone who was chronically online at the time but it is worth rehashing here: a short squeeze of the GameStop stock was initiated by the r/wallstreetbets subreddit, whose users believed the stock was undervalued. Among these users was Keith Gill , also known as “DeepFuckingValue” on Reddit and “Roaring Kitty” on Twitter and YouTube.
If someone wants to see the memes, the GIFs, or even the TikToks created because of this event, they can search for them online. Here, they take up real estate in the film that could’ve been given to more messy and pressing matters that the film brushes over. Namely, Reddit’s more nasty, antisemitic, and generally hateful tendencies.
