          my god you really aren’t. see the thing is if you look at the meme, it is a humorous visual pun of a picture of dozens of people playing the lute, a guitar-like musical instrument, and thereby partaking in “luting” as a humorous pun on the much-scaremongered-about looting that occurred following the BLM protests in 2020. these people playing the lutes could thus be referred to as “luters”
