4chan hasn't been relevant in well over a decade. They're just a self-congratulatory echo chamber so they don't realize their own irrelevancy
Kind of like subreddits, the quality of "discussions" on YouTube varies wildly based on the YouTuber. There are actually some channels with tremendous and thoughtful discourse happening in the comments, truly. But yeah, a lot of YouTube, especially any of the gaming or pop culture channels are going to be hellish in the comment space
Meh. I've seen some decent discussions here on Lemmy, just not in c/memes.
Okay, and admittedly more than half of those discussions were about Linux.
Of course I understand that, but I also understand subtext and cultural currents. Regardless of whether or not using Kanye this way counts as endorsement, it still serves to normalize his relevance and help keep him, and therefore his thoughts, words, and opinions, in the cultural zeitgeist.
So we can either accept that or choose literally any other random idiot to be our go-to meme guy instead.
So why the fuck shouldn't we?
Mental illness isn't carte blanche to be hateful without recourse. I live with literally the exact same condition as Kanye, but that condition never absolves me the work of being decent or having to live with the consequences of my poor decisions. My mental illness may at times explain my erratic behavior, but it absolutely never excuses said behavior. Stop using mental illness as an excuse to allow the rich and famous to do whatever they want without recourse.
Kanye is a literal admitted Nazi.
Stop dickriding this fucking loser or using him in memes like he's just some dude. Stop being complicit in normalizing Nazism, Jesus fucking Christ
This. OnlyFans is the "farm to table" of the porn industry and people feel differently about stealing from a small family farm than they do from Walmart.
Also, beyond just the guilt aspect, that same "farm to table" principle also means that a lot of people see OnlyFans as a fair and reasonable exchange with minimal unnecessary exploitation. Paying a major porn company feels scummy and gross and may make you feel complicit with the various evils of the industry; subbing to an OnlyFans can feel more like a donation to a creator who makes content you enjoy.
Please, I have okey-dokey (with hyphen, as intended) as an autocorrect set in my phone
As a man of class, I always write the actual word, okay, instead of "ok" like you Philistines
Hey now, that's unfair. It's Star Trek references, Linux memes, and disingenuous leftist in-fighting!
