The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he's not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.

Like many memes, this one exists outside of the original oeuvre (movie, painting, etc). For instance, I have not see the movie it comes from, it wouldn't makes sense to me if it was the other way around.

Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"

Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.

meme should be the other way around.

The imgflipreference at the bottom left is there to remind us that the image should be flipped.
