that whole scene coalesced around edgy memes and their eponymous lords used that as a launching point for all that kind of nonsense. It is so much better if we actively choose to fight it when history tries to repeat itself. Maybe if a few more people had shouted down those chucklefucks back then we could still enjoy edgelord memes ironically today.
I’m all down for a post post modern retro future meme revival.
They aren’t even saying this is edgy in fact they like the meme. They’re just telling and informing us about the slippery slope that this sort of meme can give if a community isn’t aware of themselves. As an elder millennial on the internet, I agree with this sentiment that we should be careful with what kind of views and humor we share with each other. It should always be explicit that these jokes are jokes and not representative of the actual views of the community. Satire needs to remain satire
It’s a shit post, don’t take it seriously.
As an elder of the Internet, I can attest that this is exactly how that shit started. Still a fitting shit post though.
Okay leave
Why?
Well, someone made a joke about about genitals and now that mean we are on storefront now apparently.

How can it be seen in any other way?
Don’t take my comment so seriously.
