Was stalking your EX boyfriend normalized during the last decade? (self.asklemmy)

Why was the overly attached girlfriend allowed to post her guidelines for managing a violent and abusive relationship with memes on Reddit over a period of years?

I can't figure out if you are an idiot, not funny, or a little bit of both.

It wasn't normalised it was made much easier with social media and a considerable amount of memes are self humour

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not self humor. This girl was a meme, as in her photo was taken and then text out on top of it to portray a crazy ex-/girlfriend. The real person is not actually like that.

[–] slazer2au 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Self humour from people posting the meme not from her herself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

And I doubt very much that people were posting those memes in reference to themselves. I posted them, but because they were funny, not because I related to them. In fact, imo they are so over the top that I doubt any person that would relate to them would think they were funny.

Do men create them out of humor and then the women use them as like battle cards? So if your caught looking or laughing at them your automatically in trouble? I'm getting the hint that they make women mad

Are you 12 or an incel?

[–] Slowy 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Why are you so focused on men vs. women? That kind of subtle (and often not so subtle) sexism that you frequently post isn’t really appreciated, or funny, it’s just shitty and boring. Just treat us like people…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I posted them because it was funny to imagine and make fun of someone who is so blatantly obsessed with someone as to do and think the things in the memes. Also, part of the humor is that the things she “says” and “does” are usually not so forwardly put - as in they are usually thought by the obsessed person or are done in secret.

As for making women angry, well I’ve never experienced that or gotten that impression.

lol now I want to know what meme he's so mad about.

That's dumb as hell.

[–] Mr_Blott 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And that's what people will say about your memes in ten years; get used to it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All memes are dumb. They're supposed to be.

I'm talking about being offended by that.

[–] Mr_Blott 1 points 10 months ago

Ah sorry man, I thought you meant the meme was stupid

I think OP is trolling though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I don't see why that's why issue. Men have been stalking, harassing and murdering their ex-girlfriends for much, much longer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

What the hell are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Generous of you to assume it stopped being normalized.
