After looking into the PVP and all the drama, my pick is still $RAGEGUY.
You guys must understand the real meaning of Intellectual Property ("IP").
This is different from $TROLL who really got the IP. Troll has a known, traceable creator — Carlos Ramirez (Whynne) drew it in 2008, registered U.S. copyright in 2010, and actively licensed it.
$TROLL paid him a six-figure deal for exclusive worldwide IP rights. That’s real, enforceable ownership from the actual artist.
RageGuy is the complete opposite. The screaming FFFFFUUUU face was born in 2008 on 4chan /b/ — the very first rage comic, a raw anonymous MS Paint toilet splashback that invented the entire genre.
No single creator ever claimed it, no copyright filed, no traceable owner. It’s treated as public domain internet folklore that anyone could (and did) redraw in MS Paint.
Dan Awesome’s RageMaker tool didn’t exist until 2011 (3 full years later). It was just one of several popular generators (Memebase Ragebuilder was another) — a free web tool anyone could use, not sacred IP.
The tool is a fan-made editor, not the origin. Buying the old domain years later is like buying an old Photoshop brush pack and claiming you own the art style.
So the tool bought is just a convenient fan editor, not the source of the meme.
Owning a later generator is like buying an old meme sticker pack — nice nostalgia, but it doesn’t mean you own the character.
Every major meme archive (KnowYourMeme, Wikipedia, etc.) traces it straight back to that 2008 post, not to any website or tool.
The $RAGEGUY exact name itself carries pure anonymous 4chan DNA — public domain with zero baggage.
Real S-tier memes ( $PEPE , $TROLL , $WOJAK ) never needed to own a generator or domain to go parabolic.
They won on raw recognizability and community energy. Having a tool is cool for nostalgia, but the original scream needs nothing else.
Also, you wouldn’t call CHILLGUY just CHILL, right? Same logic here — the character is $RAGEGUY , not generic “Rage.” The exact name matters for meme precision and virality.
That’s why $RAGEGUY is the conviction play. The face and the exact ticker is the history. FFFFFUUUU–
Any more rageguys coming to comment under the post and calling it a scam? 😂 i guess you have all the reason to be angry
Also shame on you big guys harassing girls
@ragzyart and
@sarah_talley_ cause they are not sticking to your ticker.
Vote with your money on your ticker, not with your mouth.
If your ticker is that precious and you already bought the tool, throw in the millions to market it and get all the listings. That's real pvp dude. If not, just bark elsewhere FFFFFUUUU–
