Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

4 panel comic of two people talking

1 A: "WHY ARE YOU A FEMINIST?"

B: "BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN EQUALITY."

2 A: "THEN YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR- SELF AN "EQUALIST" OR "EGALITARIAN"."

B: "I USE "FEMINIST" BECAUSE MY MAIN FOCUS IS ON THE UNEQUAL STATUS OF WOMEN."

3 A: "SO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT WOMEN. THAT'S NOT EQUALITY - THAT'S REVERSE SEXISM."

B, pausing to think: "I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. LET ME REPHRASE MY ANSWER."

4 B, pointing at A: "YOU."
"YOU ARE THE REASON I'M A FEMINIST."

I feel like you just want to be angry, I find it sad that you don't want people to have the ability to self identify as feminists, feels very counter productive.

I know I am an ally because of my friends. My friends would not be my friends if I was some 4chan trolling women hating degenerate, and some angry internet person who is looking for an argument won't make me second guess that. 😊

Also "you being an ally is for the oppressed group to decide" is a really ignorant statement, a group can't collectively decide something like that, those groups are made up of individuals with individual beliefs. Thinking of them as a hive mind like that gives credibility to right wing conspiracies, which again is hurting your own cause.

You know the more I think about it the more I think you are actually some 4chan troll on here trying to enrage people into hating feminists.. that would be very uncool. Either way I'm done with this conversation since it's not really a conversation, its going no where haha, enjoy your weekend.
