Fuck Translations and Fuck English

Text on the meme

I refuse to read translations, I read everything in its original language even if I don't speak it. I have read the entirety of Les misérables in French, Divine Comedy in Italian, Don Quijote in Spanish and Brothers Karamazov in Russia, without understanding a single word. fuck translations and fuck english, that is all I have to say

What it means

A masked man in a dark suit appears beneath an absurdly large speech bubble containing an anonymous forum post. The speaker boasts about reading famous books in their original languages without understanding them, then declares that translations and English can go to hell. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to pretentious language purism and performative intellectualism.
