    Well it is true one can deduce the gist of it, but not the exact message. So I guess the rule has to be clearer on this.

      Seems to me in this case, the people have voted.
      Currently 98 upvotes and 15 downvotes for the post.

      This is perfectly readable for anyone familiar with either Spanish or memeish.

      Actually, I’d argue this is already translated into American Memeish. Mexico and Spain have their own meme subcultures that don’t have direct translations into American Memeish, let alone all the other Spanish speaking countries.

        This is about some people no being able to comprehend anything from the posts beside from symbols. This could be in the most obscure of languages and any person with a brain that knows memes can understand the basic idea. I’m just saying the verbal part in the post is not comprehensible to all people, which happens to break the rule 5.

        I do not care what language it is on, Spanish is my native language, I just want everyone to able to read and understand.

          I want to know if you downvoted my emoji comment because you didn’t understand it, or because you did and got mad that I disproved your point about needing words.

          Keep in mind I haven’t downvoted any of your comments.

            Not mad, the comment was not adding anything of value in my opinion because it was not clear what it meant. So the down vote is for “this comment is not useful and perhaps lazy”. I also upvote things which I do not agree with but they are proposed in a civil manner, and when I’m proven wrong I say " thanks for letting me know this". So… This is not personal.

            And I never claimed that anything (post, comment or whatever) needed words to have meaning. Not sure what your point is though…
