i recently visited 12chan, i heard it was worse. and the conclusion after visiting: i fail to see the... ummm.... attractiveness of a 4 year old, but that's just me.

wtf is a meme?

A quantized unit of culture.

As for "do want", it originates from a poorly subtitled Chinese version of Star Wars Episode 3, where Vader has his famous "Noooooooo!" scene. The subtitle is "Do not want".

If you do a bit of Googling you can find a whole blog-post type thing of where they show a bunch of excerpts from the shitty subtittled Chinese version, many lulz to be had.
