Logical choice.

for those who immediately wondered the same thing I did after seeing the meme:

I can forgive sexism, but i draw the line at failing to write women

I've known pretty people who were mean and pretty people who were nice; average-looking people who were mean and average-looking people who were nice; ugly people who were mean and ugly people who were nice. The world's more than 2000s high school movies with the fashionable feminine girl always being a villainous bitch intent on relational aggression (nevermind how the outcast tomboy protagonist is also attractive).

Clownrule

I wonder how many non-ironic clowns still work, and if audiences find joy in their performances.

the shitty games that suck ass

I've been on both sides of that equation before!

If I find a particular piece of media upsetting I just quickly move on and do not look again.

But there is some media I engage with that I was disappointed by, but care about (whether because I enjoyed it by itself, or because it's the sequel to something else I liked). I'm invested, so I bother to complain instead of just walking away.

And it's a lot easier to complain, and to latch onto other fans' complaints, than to properly explain why I liked what I liked besides a quick "well this was nice". I just don't have enough knowledge to write 3 paragraphs on how they did it and why it works, only enough to say "I really liked X." In my opinion and experience, it takes more knowledge to write a lot about the success of something beyond "wow this succeeded!" than it does to write about the failure of something and your quick guess on what went wrong.

Dont let lw libs find this

Yeah, as someone who does not recognize this format it read as just a regular political meme (the stuff I enjoy seeing turn out to be not political on this sub, really not here for any actual political content even though I agree with this post). Hope this stays antimemes and not a "libs" "conservatives" political place where people try to dunk on each other with pictures; otherwise I might have to spin up my own version with hookers and blackjack

Welcome to the Lemmy Anti Meme Community.

I came from !NiceMemes@lemmy.sopuli.xyz which bans it, and I think that's fine instead of something that not everyone will care for—its point is memes that won't "absolutely destroy your mental health." I'm not so sure about everyone else, but I know for me politics everywhere in so many threads and comments = doomscrolling and destroyed mental health, regardless of if it is people who agree with me or disagree and I'm honestly unsure how so many others on the Threadiverse manage to embrace it. Politics is not the point of that community at all, and I'm inclined to find the rule appropriate instead of something that should not be present because it controls what topics may be discussed. It could also be viewed as a sub-rule of "stay on topic" for non-political communities.

I also personally see it as a huge minefield of conflict that is likely to derail into a big tangent that starts a slapfight and kills the mood if you see it browsing comments. I do engage in the political process in real life, perhaps more than most others I know, but I super do not come into the Threadiverse to stress myself out and fall into the anger/outrage loop with people's poor behavior towards each other on like 80% of the online political discussion I have had the misfortune to run across and views that anger me. I'm here to have fun. And just look at the long paragraph my current disagreement with you made me feel like typing out! I'd like to opt out of that kind of experience.

Your community is your own though, not going to force you or shame you for not conforming to one person's wishes! Just disagreeing on the idea that banning that as a topic is inappropriate in general, and further explaining my negative sentiment towards most online political discussion. I appreciate you making the community at all and running it.

Welcome to the Lemmy Anti Meme Community.

Oh no, I do not have a problem with antimemes that were originally political! My problem is more about the comments getting political, and yes, my usual approach is to just disengage.

Pinging @SmokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com about it too because their poll seems to operate under the assumption I had an issue with antimemes who were originally political instead of me having a problem with the comments turning political as if it were the normal version of the meme, as if this were PoliticalMemes or any Lemmy politics community and not AntiMemes.

Welcome to the Lemmy Anti Meme Community.

Friendly advice: if you are not in the mood for discourse and debates and political discussion, don't check the comments if you know the regular version of the meme is often used to make political statements. I clicked on the comments for two antimemes whose normal version is often used for political commentary instead of just scrolling by and upvoting, not knowing what to expect. Found the expected sociopolitical commentary for if the regular version of the image was posted while extremely not in the mood for politics and just wanting a fun antimeme, and some of those comments made me angry, so I came here and typed this advice to use that anger productively (and also conveniently in a way that likely won't invite conflict from anyone based on my views).

Not sure if this is intended and allowed behavior for the community, and thus I just need to adjust my behavior to match my advice to get what I want out of it, or if this something the community maker did not want and it should be added to the rules and reported.
