In our research, people often use the j stalin Instagram as an example of a “zaddy”. But, as you can see, there are a bunch of good examples if you just use it as a hashtag on a social media platform. Since it’s such an image-heavy meme, Instagram is one of the best places to find it. Reddit doesn’t’ really have a ton of good images for it- it’s used more ironically and intellectually, which is symptomatic of the Reddit crowd.
