"Memes that people don't get are unwelcoming."
If a person sees something they've never seen before, and turns around and flees, that's a problem with them being sheltered and pathetic, not a problem with the new thing they haven't encountered before.
It's not fleeing as much as it is being so bored that that they never really find the motivation to come back.
