The article humorously discusses the concept of 'Backpfeifengesicht,' a German word for a face that deserves slapping, in relation to US Vice-President JD Vance. It raises the point about Vance's public image being more meme than man, heavily influenced by social media distortions. The article paints a vivid picture of the discomfort others might feel in his presence, humorously suggesting that, after extensive meme creation, few could recall his actual appearance, underscoring the strange nature of modern celebrity and political culture.
You can immediately picture him at breakfast, can't you? Every single other guest on the terrace with their shoulders up round their ears, just thinking: Where is he now? How unbearable is he being NOW? Next, imagine breakfast lasting four years.
The internet is awash with people suffering an acute case of not being able to remember [JD Vance's] face... those meme versions are not simply the only results on the first page of your own mental Google search.
Somewhere on page four, where you might as well publish the nuclear codes or pictures of Taylor Swift giving cocaine to babies, is an unmodified snap of what JD Vance actually looks like. Or at least what he looks like with eyeliner.
Vance is more meme than man, now, and it has raised a significant question about how individuals can become distorted through social media exaggerations.
