Which memes do you like to analyse while you relax? I'm a huge fan of the feels guy, who exactly is he? I hope to know one day.

In the tradition of memery, the feels guy conveys an empathy towards the other's emotional distress, often caused by the lack of success in romantic pursuits, although other causes are also common. This meme functions in a deeply ambiguous way and perpetrates an ideological mystification. What is the inner logic of the standard discourse regarding the lack of a significant other? The very asymmetry of seduction — the imbalance between desire and its object — is rejected. At every stage in an erotic relationship, only contractual reciprocity with mutual agreement is allowed. In this way, sexual intercourse is desexualized and becomes a “deal,” in the sense of a market exchange of equivalents between equal and free partners, where the object of exchange is pleasure. The theoretical expression of this turn to pleasure is marked by the shift from Freud/Lacan to Foucault: from sexuality and desire to desexualized pleasures striving to reach the extreme of the raw Real.

>>57Oh, believe me, I fully understand the meaning behind the feels guy (I've seen possibly hundreds of hilarious feels guy image macros) but I'm not asking 'what' he is, but 'who'. What is his name? Where does he come from? Why does he feel so many 'feels'?
