ABSTRACT: the "drake frowning with hand up"/"drake smiling and pointing" images have been used to great effect as an approval/disapproval meme format. however, it cannot express ambivalence or a progression between the two reactions. in this paper, i argue for the importance of ambivalence signifiers in approval/disapproval meme formats. in support of this stance, i use GAN technology to create a matching image of drake in the 🤔 "thinking emoji" pose and demonstrate its improvement of the meme.
