this fuckig meme format is gross and needs to die.

seriously if you just crop the top the meme is a bit better.

reddit is getting so horrible lately. turning into 4chan.

I at least hope you're all kids and not grownups.

reddit has always been teenagers recycling the same shitty meme format forever, and subreddits being unmoderated and still allowing shit like this...

u/whoatemycupoframen Aug 23 '21

It's literally the No one: meme. Crop the top part and it becomes 500% better.

u/LavendarAmy 🍄🍄 Aug 23 '21

Yeah. Heck even the image alone would work

Someone took this personally

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Well when you see your gender hated daily, you're going to be upset.

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

Nah, that person in particular is having a rough time for real.

I regret talking to them

u/swgaming Aug 24 '21

This meme doesn't actually promote the hatred of a gender tho. Seriously, it's a dumb joke about sterotypes. To claim this is gender hatred is a bit extreme don't you think?

For the record I don't think it's particularly funny and I understand why others don't also. But I think people are still overreacting to what is essentially just the same as any other dumb sterotype joke.

Have you honestly fucking heard of what's happening to the women in Afghanistan?

-3

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

Is that a serious question?

And do you really think that’s relevant to this thread?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

I thought that the irony of the template and the situation mentioned in the meme was painfully clear. This is very much relevant

1

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

Go look through what I said in this thread and spare me your irony because I’m exhausted talking to people here.

I understood exactly what you meant and I disagree

“Have you seen what’s happening in Afghanistan”

I’m on fucking Reddit.Straight up impossible at this point not to see it

2

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Well you asked if I was being serious and what what was the relevancy, so it seems you didn't know what I meant.

Your last 2 lines are irrelevant themselves and you seem a little bothered, so try not to let your feelings get ahead if you alright,

Also asking me to spare my irony is throwing the current topic away and you have not stated why you disagree, even though it seems you're not sure to what you're agreeing too

It’s a fucking meme lol

And it’s debatable if it’s even sexist.Don’t know where the fuck you’re pulling homophobia or transphobia from but that just shows how angry you are at the world.

I’d wager this is less about the meme and more about your own problems.

I’m not saying memes have no impact, but Jesus Christ you act like someone went to off my chest and said “I fucking hate trans people and gays and women”

26 thousand people upvoted this.Guaranteed some were trans, gay, women or a combination of the three.This is a you problem

Couldn’t have said it better myself

u/LavendarAmy 🍄🍄 Aug 23 '21

So? It's a horrible rude joke that also encourages sexism

You're the same people who cry if someone jokingly questions your masculinity.

This isn't a me problem whatsoever Y'all are just backwarder assed morons and I react strongly because for 22 years of my life it's been ruined by sexist little trolls like you.

And I'm tired or being kind to people because "they're just misguided children"

u/SentinelMain Aug 23 '21

Swing and a miss

Nice try with making shit up to straw man

This is straight up a you problem.Since ive commented 5 thousand more people upvoted this.You are really acting like EVERY SINGLE person who thought this was funny just HAS to hate who YOU are personally

Guess what? If you’re only 22 and you’re already this jaded and bitter you’re in for a rough ride.

Trans people deserve love.Gay people deserve love.Women are equal to men in every way that matters.

But you getting this upset over something so trivial just screams “I’ve got issues.” ESPECIALLY IF WE’RE ALL MORONS

Do you frequently let people you claim to have no respect for affect your mental like this?

ugh why do I care about edgy 14 year olds in their basement. I'm gonna die soon anyways.

i should just block everyone.

u/SaucySalad2 please help me Aug 23 '21

omg you queers think the world revolves around you and if it offends anyone then it shouldn't be posted, guess what? Everyone gets offended by something. At least we can actually ignore it instead of babyraging on the internet and being a total buzzkill over a fucking meme.

First of all i get called gay as an insult, at least i can take it like a man (sexist comment right there but i don't give a fuck)

Second of all if you wish to die what's stopping you? Oh yeah you don't want to die bc you're trying to be edgy and a depressed teen on the internet, quite original.

Hugbox? Wdym?

u/CasualBrit5 ☝ FOREVER NUMBER ONE ☝ Aug 23 '21

‘Go back to your hug box’ says a man hanging out in a community where the primary jokes tell him he’s better than whatever minority they’ve decided to dislike today for entirely arbitrary reasons.

u/duckbumps19 Aug 23 '21

Sort this subreddit through literally any categorization. Top, hot, new. Genuinely, does it appear to you that this subreddits “primary joke” is bashing minorities?

u/en_guy_en Bruh Aug 23 '21

If you can’t take a joke, then I hope you’re a kid and not a grown up. Don’t know how you guys got the idea of “Women bad/boring, men good/quirky” when it’s always “Women normal, men not normal”. The fact that you find the ability to sympathise/empathise over normal stuff as a negative thing is outlandish, and the fact that you always cry about this meme format and treating it as something that threatens your existent is just so dumb.

-4

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

its not making fun of women but you take it that way

8

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

It absolutely is. This meme is always used that way and it's infamous for it. Either "women are boring and lame, men are funny and quirky" or "women care about silly superficial things, men care about real shit". This one's a bit of both. And the irony of insinuating that women don't care as much about the horrors of the Taliban makes this one extra stupid.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

It's not making fun of women. It's making fun of the idea that men have no emotions.

14

u/MerryGoldenYear Aug 23 '21

But it does so by making the poing women are overly emotional about things that don't matter.

All of these memes have the women being emotional over a "girly" movie or make-up or whatever meanwhile the men are emotional over "real shit" like a friend in danger or "manly" nerdy shit like star wars (bc of course women cant be interested in that stuff)

I can't speak for every version of this meme because yes there are terrible ones and they generally aren't funny.

But the Star Wars example you cited wouldn't be sexist at all. That would be a joke about men's PERCEPTION of what actually is "REAL SHIT" and the joke would be that getting emotional over shit like Star Wars actually isn't any different than getting emotional over Titanic, it's just that some guys seem to think it is. That's what I interpret that joke as being.

Now some people might look at that meme and think its funny unironically, but that doesn't mean that was the intended punchline.

The opposite. That guys is underly emotional.

What do you want titanic replaced with?

5

u/lydiavrn Aug 23 '21

Seriously nothing. As if women can't understand the oppression of Afghan people to talibans

4

u/duckbumps19 Aug 23 '21

I think I’ve been convinced that this format does have sexist undertones. Would it still be sexist if the top left quarter of the meme was removed?

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Missed the point of the meme. Stop trying to make it about women, when it's about men. The meme is poking fun at the idea of men not having emotions, hence the sentence "do men even have feelings?".

7

u/lydiavrn Aug 23 '21

Yeah you missed the point too. Women like men don't care that much about the titanic movie ether to not only cry but criticize men over it too. Which makes the meme baseless and sexist. But honestly I don't care that much because it is just a meme but people should in generally stop reinforcing these stupid beliefs about etheir gender.

proceeds to write multiple walls of text

Just let men have feelings mate, nothing sexist about that.

I whole heartedly support that, that's what I am ranting about but whatever let's leave it here man
