I already have to go through and block all the non-English memes communities.

I'm not sure why everyone is pretending that it's somehow extremely obvious what the meme is supposed to be.

Nobody is pretending. People either already know the original meme and use it to deduce the translation, or they have the minimal understanding of Spanish required to read the text.

I'm assuming by "original meme" you're referring to a meme with a completely different image that you wouldn't know what it is unless you read Spanish.
