Frankenstein Rejects Fact Checking

Text on the meme

HEY FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ACTUALLY MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN, THE GUY WAS NAMED FRANKENSTEIN'S DOCTOR. DID YOU EVEN READ THE BOOK? I BET YOU DIDN'T. I BET YOU JUST SAW A "FACTOID" ONLINE AND YOU'VE BEEN REPEATING IT TO SOUND SMART. CONSENSUS REALITY IS BOGUS. FACT-CHECKING ANYTHING IS POINTLESS. BELIEVE WHATEVER THE TRUTH IS WHATEVER YOU VIBE WITH. I'M FRANKENSTEIN.

What it means

A four-panel comic shows Frankenstein's monster correcting someone about his name, then dismissing the correction and declaring himself Frankenstein. The joke mocks pedantic fact-checking and conspiracy-minded people who reject facts once they conflict with their preferred belief. It is used as a reaction to someone confidently abandoning accuracy after being corrected.
