Reminds me of the reddit threads where someone was doing a bit like song lyrics or quoting part of a joke from some media source and if anyone replied playing along but not completing the expected joke, they’d get downvoted, “whoosh” replies, and people upset that they didn’t catch the reference, even if their response was otherwise clever.
Glad that shit doesn’t seem like it’s made it here. People will do bits referencing other stuff (hell, I just did one myself yesterday) but I haven’t seen people scolding others for not following along in the proper way here (of if they do, the scolder gets downvoted and piled on rather than the person accidentally or deliberately missing the reference). Even spelling/grammar nazis usually get downvoted (though it depends on tone).
