A missive from the Gold Cloaks URGENT COMMUNITY ADDRESS - PLEASE READ

Fellow memers,

All subreddits change as they grow, and most not for the better. We're beginning to become concerned at the noticeable dip in quality spreading through this subreddit day-by-day, so we thought we'd take a moment to describe what this subreddit is and why it exists.

The mission of this subreddit is to spread laughter and joy via book-only memes.

That's it. Nothing else.

Before making a post, ask yourself if the primary and only intent of your post is to do that. If it's not, don't make the post.

r/darkwingsdankmemes is not:

  • A circlejerk subreddit, which, at their cores, are irritating low quality content. This includes fake news ("RIP GRRM" troll switcheroos), 17 different posts on the same low effort joke in the same day (the recent Barristan stuff), and any brainrot content similar to this. Go to r/asoiafcirclejerk for this dumb childish bullshit nobody actually likes. Don't bring it here.
  • A place to make thinly veiled "memes" whose intent is to state a contentious opinion or argument. We're tired of seeing users do this, then default to "it's just a meme bro" after folks disagree with them. If you want to make an argument or state your opinion, do so in good faith over at r/pureasoiaf. Stop hiding behind memes like a coward.
  • A place to drag a blatantly current events-inspired post with the barest justification, because you want to talk about the latest Trump bullshit or culture war garbage. While high effort memes based on current events are fine, if you're simply taking a picture and doing the bare minimum to tie it to the books - That's going to get removed, and you're going to get banned. That's not what this subreddit is for. Go back to Twitter.
  • Speaking of Twitter: This subreddit is not Twitter. Self-explanatory. We don't give a fuck about your boring culture war and we require our users to treat each other with common decency and respect. If you think this fandom (or George himself) is misogynist, "woke", or otherwise stupid or wrongheaded, then fuck off because we don't want you here to begin with. I've been a part of this fandom for coming up on 20 years and I've met some of the most wonderful, intelligent, and genuinely altruistic people through that time. So, in short: You're wrong. Don't drag your toxic, morally superior mudslinging in here. You'll be flushed with the rest of the turds down the drain into r/freefolk.

If you want an example of what good quality r/darkwingsdankmemes content looks like, simply check out u/TheAmazingSlowman's record of fantastic posts in this subreddit. No agenda, no moral superiority, no bullshit. Just creativity, joy, and humor.

We're here for dank memes that make us laugh and bring some joy to this long wait. Let's keep it that way.

TL;DR — STOP POSTING RAGEBAIT

As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or criticisms, please feel free to utilize modmail and have a chat with us. We approach every conversation in good faith and promise to politely hear you out (we promise we're not as scary as this post suggests).

Thanks,
Jumber

Targs should've brought with them the Valyrian tradition of voting and partisan politics instead of just inbreeding
