===Mooses=== | |||
Mooses is a community meme which has been created and popularized by AZMindroma. Mooses were originally drawn in August of 2017, with a group of people making a cult of it in October of 2017. After AZ joined the Rolling Lounge server, he posted an image of the moose while SHAvibe and he were talking, upon which SHAvibe asked whether it should be added as an emote. Like that, the moose emoji was one of the first emojis ever created in the server. | |||
Upon AZ getting staff, the popularization had continued and found appeal due to his place in the server hierarchy. Due to the sheer repetition of the phrase and the way the drawing looked, the other members also started talking about mooses, many fanarts were created as well. For a polemic explanation, AZMindroma had posted a message in July 4th of 2020: | |||

|text=[...] That "weird shaped white animal" is supposed to be a moose, that got really popular in this server. [...] but now you might ask: "Why did a bad artwork like that blow up?" and the reason why it blew up in popularity is exactly because the moose character is simplistic in design and is appealing. With its accentuated long nose, two sticklike antlers, dead eyes and idiotic expression, you just can't help but relate to the character. This causes a positive effect to the moose since people enjoy things they can relate with, it gives the person a good feeling knowing they're not alone. The character got introduced by a member called "AZ | Mindroma | Sticky" in early 2018, after a gain of the moderator role, the user kept posting that picture over and over from time and time, adding it as emoji and generally presenting it to many members. This lead to a drawing of several fan-made artworks later (you can check them out by typing in the commands !mooses and !mooses2) due to mooses being really really easy to draw. This made the meme ultimately strong because the fact that it was possible to gain more attention by drawing intentionally bad artwork than in a genuinely effortfull art attracted many people. The moose has been used in videos with over 100k views since then, has over 50 fanarts, and is still alive after around 3 years of existence. [...] | |||
