I come here, to the memes place, to see memes

[-] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Do you expect memes to contain no opinions in them?

[-] Whimsical@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I expect opinions to not be the subjects of the memes usually

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

I feel like memes almost exclusively include opinions, usually the most popular ones.

[-] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

I don't think I've ever seen a meme that isn't expressing an opinion. Do you have any examples in mind?

[-] Whimsical@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Almost all the memes I have saved are pretty much void of any real statement or opinion, except maybe "this is humorously absurd". Unfortunately they're all images and I don't want to go to the trouble of transcribing them

In general if something appears to he trying to sway or convince me toward something, it isn't a meme, it's a political cartoon or an advertisement, even if it's trying to be humorous.

Does posting images work on lemmy? Ok I see there are some memes that are in the meirl category but at least half(probably more) of memes have a clear point of view that is being expressed.
