Cody, the Comrade?

Comrade Cody meme by alecodys.

After a post of Lindsay reading Marx became viral on Tumblr around 2019, alecodys made a similar meme of Cody reading Marx later that year. The image of Cody holding up the book may be referenced in fanworks. Goopy-amethyst used this meme to refer to the Total Drama fandom as a whole in a post which garnered over 11k notes, saying:

The Total Drama fandom is the funniest thing in this fucking hellsite and I don't know how they do it.

None of y'all Stevens Universes or your She-Ras can even get close to the range of intelectual comedy this image emanates[1]

Alecody would later create two, Archived version more, Archived version Comrade Cody edits. This edit was later featured in unironicduncanstan's Total Drama Iceberg in 2021.

"CODY FUCKIN' DIES"?

Cody Must Consent Before Doing What?

In 2020, a conversation on Tumblr between two users discussing Cody trans headcanons went somewhat viral in Total Drama fandom. The conversation may be quoted or alluded to when discussing trans headcanons for Cody.

gothcody said:

cody is trans because only a trans person would have a name as long and unnessisary as Cody Emmet Jameson Anderson

georgiew1984 replied:

What if Jameson-Anderson is his last name, though?

gothcody replied:

too late the transism has already begun

georgiew1984 replied:

He has to consent first

gothcody replied:
