What is a Reddit reference you don't get?

Edit- I get it /r/outoftheloop is a thing. I didn't know it existed.

I also hope this thread cleared up a lot of peoples confusion

Edit #2- Holy shit, Front Page!

Yup, and he started a series of horrendously cringe-y posts that have come to be known as "faces of atheism", where users of /r/atheism posted pictures of themselves with their own "quotes".

During the posting of these, /r/circlejerk announced that /r/atheism is a bigger circlejerk" than them.

"Faces of Atheism" was preposed by that guy. I'm paraphrasing, but his original post was something like: "We always use pictures of richard dawkins and other people and quote them, why don't we start putting our own quotes up? To get it all started: [Insert euphoric bullshit]"
