I don't know where I should put this, but this seems fitting.
For this to make sense (as a joke), you have to understand that we have a class at school called Contemporary World Problems. And one day, some kids asked the teacher what he had thought of anime, and he said it was a contemporary world problem. So, as highly educated high school at a STEM school do, we all blow it out of proportion and it's now a school wide meme. Also, we only have 125~ people per grade, so it got around faster then one might have expected.
