Drop “at” and “this.” Tighter joke, less visually irritating with the awkward pacing for reading. Great though lol
Excellent choice for the pic. Their facial expressions are both perfect!
Please don't be offended, but both left and right memes are horrible.
Please don't be offended, but maybe you just need to hang out with better memes breh 👐
"Yeah, that's the idea"
The left when you say anything vaguely offensive:
The right, when called out by a meme and feeling sensitive about it ^
No, I'm a liberal but this site is sensitive af. I made a meme about a drinking pregnant woman and it got taken down
I'm a liberal
So... right wing
What?
The left want to abolish capitalism. Liberalism invented capitalism.
Only if you think the line between left and right is somewhere around Lenin
Yes, right-wing, if you compare them to a fucking tankie.
Let me translate: "I made an utterly tasteless and shitty abortion/miscarriage-adjacent meme that got moderated and I CANNOT stop whining about it, but liberals are the sensitive snowflakes around here"
Suuuuuuure, everybody is sensitive but you, pal.
No, there is definitely a list of things you can make fun of on this site, capitalism, American healthcare/infrastructure/etc, bills/how expensive things are, killing the rich, etc. It doesn't matter how tasteless or dark the meme is so long as you direct it at the right subject matter. This is effectively an echo-chamber.
Yes, punching up is good and punching down is bad. Welcome to basic human interactions.
Since I'm getting downvoted right now I can punch up: fuck you dann! Am I doing it right? lmao
Seems odd, what was the context?
The caption said: my wife out-drinking everyone at the table; our unborn son:
Then it has a picture of Tom the cat with eyes bulging that I edited to be in a womb. Guess darker memes aren't allowed here?
So the punchline is “if you drink your kid may get FAS, here’s Tom depicting it”? That’s not so much offensive as just…not funny? Like it’s just a dumb, poorly executed joke.
- The joke is in the image: of course the text description of it won't land. But I can't post it because it would get taken down
- Whether its funny is beside the point. Why did it get taken down? I see people screenshotting unfunny tweets and posting it to meme communities and it gets 1k upvotes.
Let me ask you this: should I find a Tom and Jerry depiction of somebody dying of lung cancer in their final moments funny?
I just don’t see the comedy here. It’s overlaying a cartoon over tragedy. But because (I’m assuming) there is little sympathy for a mother who drinks and thus impacts their child, it’s suddenly acceptable and funny because it’s appropriately judgmental.
Edit: I think you should reframe this as “people find this joke tasteless.“ I find being tasteless different from being offensive. I don’t get offended by 9/11 jokes. But I’ve definitely heard a couple that I found tasteless. Though some people rightfully find it offensive as well - would you share this meme with someone who suffered a miscarriage or has experienced/been around FAS in some capacity? Would you knowingly share it with a NICU nurse?
You don't get it. Only what they find funny is funny and only what they think is biggoted is actually biggoted.
Any other world view other than theirs is extremely inferior to the point of being an insult to exist.
Are you guys making your own echo chamber in the middle of an echo chamber? Seems rather echonomical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's starting to sound echoy in here. You can joke about kids being shot up in American schools but you can't joke about abortion, fat people, etc., because then it seems too mean spirited.
Jokes about school shootings are jokes about America and its priorities. The punchline is America and its ruthless protection of firearms, not dead kids.
Jokes about obesity are jokes about a person and their weight. They’re the subject and the punchline and there is no meaningful observation other than “I find them repulsive.”
By definition, something offensive must be something that can cause someone to take offense. Saying "haha, people get offended when I say offensive things" is rather redundant.
man I sure do trigger the left when I.... Show how bigoted I am. Haw haw haw
The right when you acknowledge reality and easily verifiable facts.
The right when you say anything that's
- blasphemous
- anti-Christian
- pro-LGBTQ
- anti-USA
- anti-racist
(Not an exhaustive list)
Oh, yeah, they also get pretty offended when you ask them to wear a mask or get vaccinated.
The portion of the left which is insecure and obnoxious, that is. Trust me, we’re annoyed by them, too. They make the rest of us look like whiny, judgmental assholes.
But being insulting is fun because you get to laugh with someone else's situation without caring about yours : )
Something something identify as a attack helicopter. Hur dur der.
There's a new batch out. They actually have two jokes now. Just say something racist and replace the problem words with "woke".
I think their usual complaint that leftist memes can be really wordy. Which, yeah it's true.
Liberal meme*
The classic left is different
liberals, famously no bigotry
