It would be tough to miss all of the news lately about tragedies striking in the ocean – and the dark humor that’s resulted.

Like, for example, the incidents involving killer whales ramming yachts.

The stories captivated us and to be honest, most people took the whale’s side to begin with – and the ensuing memes are definitely worth your time.

It’s obviously Photoshopped, but people are loving the whole Orcas Striking Back vibe.

Mostly because they’re pretty powerful allies in the growing movement to eat the rich.

Here are some of the memes people have created.

‘They decided to see the titanic in a minivan sized tin can controlled by a knockoff PlayStation controller, and you’re asking the Orcas if we were involved?!’

Attack!

‘Very first light, Chief, boats come cruisin’. So we formed ourselves into tight groups…the idea was, the boat comes to the nearest orca and he starts hollerin’ and screamin’. And sometimes that boat it go away but sometimes it wouldn’t go away. So we attacked the boat.’ pic.twitter.com/F3nSkJ5ruz

That said, some people – like Jacob Stern, who published an op-ed in the Atlantic titled “Killer Whales Are Not Our Friends” – say we should stop rooting for them.

Okay Jacob, calm down.

Because they want the rich to know… it was them.

These events happened the same week the Titan submersible sank (imploded), leaving some to wonder whether or not the orcas had something to do with that, too.

What do they have to say about that?
