...there is a joke here that I could make about incel forums. I'm not going to try to because it's in poor taste, but my point is that I'm pretty sure that does exist....
Also, what's your actual position if that's your devil's advocate position? I'm a bit unsure if the implication there is intentional or not
Now that's a characterization I can get behind!
Ngl, pretty rude to just go poking around in stranger's holes like that without warning lmao (/s/jk/etc)
I get that, nothing wrong with that!
Tbh I was wondering if that may have been the case and it was seeming to get pretty fight-y in tone, so I figured I'd get my own clarification in case other users want to also understand without getting into a fight
Sometimes it's nice to have a break from all the hardcore political stuff, and the upvote rate on this post pretty much proves that point lol as far as the user base cares, you did good!
Ohhhh that's why football got huge, like, turned into a full on human meat grinder industry huge. Because advertisers wanted more eyeballs, so they started pumping money in.
Wild how capitalism effects everything like that x.x
Not sure I would have ever put that together without your "the game exists to only serve us ads" quip. Like, there's naturally big, but when advertising gets involved, it becomes gigantic, whatever it is.
Ahh you're going based on what seems to be a textbook definition rather than the vibe definition.
Typically there's a certain vibe to political cartoons, and I think the original commenter and I are just used to that vibe to tell whether a cartoon is "actually" political. This cartoon is missing that vibe by a lot. It seems to be a gta meme more than a political meme, vibes wise.
That said, you're not wrong by your own definition, and that makes enough sense for me! Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated!
That blue color on the map? Believe it or not, liquid meth
The way I (layman) read it, they seemed to be saying that it would be phased out by newer companies finding different alternatives, not that everyone is phasing it out as we speak.
Does this seem more realistic? Or just completely non-factual?
This exchange made me realize the Florida Man is an American mythos older than the Karen. The Internet is writing its own mythology lmao
It doesn't appear to contain political content (at least to me, how is this political to you though?)
I am not the arbiter of what is political or not though, I'm just also curious as to why this isn't in c/memes, but it deserves the upvotes imo
you don't have to understand it, you just shouldn't be a legislative genocidal asshole about it (not that that's what you're doing, but that's what republicans seem to do to anything they think isn't their slim sliver of a definition of "normal")
if you're talking about furries, to my layman's understanding of the subculture, that's not how the vast majority of furries relate to themselves. From what I've seen, it's not that they are the animal itself, they are the aspects of the animal, and those things are just little icons that they're like boosting because they resonate with it. That said, there are at least a few people who DO feel that way, but I'm pretty sure they have a special category name (ferals? I think that's what they're called but I could be wrong, this is some deep lore I picked up years ago). If they do have that special name and I'm not just making that part up, then that implies that most furries do not feel that way about themselves.
But, acknowledging the existence of people like that at all does validate your question in my mind. I don't really understand that extreme either. My only point is that most furries are what you would likely consider "normal", they just have a particular hobby. It's no more nefarious or odd than being into gender bending cosplay. You're just taking something (yourself rather than an anime/video game character) and twisting it into something artistically different (a fursona instead of a cosplay outfit).
....no I did not intend to write that much defending furries but here we are lmao
