dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I do find it a little iffy for me. There are ones like HP where I was suuuper into it up through college, but have since stopped giving money to anything associated with Rowling and kinda just ignoring those books and movies entirely or thing like lostprophets where despite liking a lot of their songs, I can't listen to them at all anymore knowing what the lead singer was about.

But then you've got bands like Anti-flag where one of their singers was, while not as bad as lostprophets, still quite bad, but yet I still throw on their albums when I read political news that makes me angry. Not sure what to do about that one, maybe it's because there's another singer so it's not strictly Justin's voice all the time, I dunno.

The one exception for me is Kasabian. The lead singer was completely shafted from the band and even cut off from their finances, so I have no issue continuing to listen to them.

Apart from those kinds of fringe cases, I can live without their work.
