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

but this feels off,

the text in the second panel isn't the original text, notice how one is crusty and the other isn't

This was altered for sure but this is also the only version I could find with a signature so it might still be from Lilith.

The earliest version I could find is this

CIA agents in 1964: Castro's in for the surprise of his life when he tries to sign something with my POISON PEN! CIA agents in 2024: "@libcrusher The phrase 'working class' is ableist and promotes eugenics because it positions disabled people and workers as enemies."

this is the one that I've seen the most before and the one that I assumed was the original

Yeah I've seen this one before too

Font size and compression artifacts check out too

It's edited, there was something else on the original, but I forgot what it was

I've looked it up and found two other versions posted to tumblr by different accounts (coolxatu and theconstellationsinyourskin). Notably, none of them include trans people, which makes sense given that the creator and both of these accounts are trans themself and probably aware that arguing like that is at least really, really off.

Anyway, here's the other versions, i'll leave it to others to further research which is the original:

It's pretty common to edit a template

thanks for pointing that out
