That must explain why all those meme focused communities, especially the "dank" and "edgy" ones radicalized a generation of white boys to worship Andrew tate and why we've got 10 year olds saying kill all gays and fuck women to popular "meme" streamers.

Cus of how non political those places are.

I agree with you there. I hate that little old scrutum too.

But, if those memes would start to get too edgy, yes I would still want a specific community for them

Wow what a surprise the person complaining about memes being too political also thinks that the memes that radicalized fascists should still be kept around.

You're literally the white moderate holding back progress MLK Jr described.

What drugs are you high on?

I didn't say those memes should be kept around. I said they should have their own community in the sense that I don't want them here.

Truth be told, we would have no way to ban those people from creating a community or even an entire instance if they wanted to.

Also, I'm not from the US. No fucking clue what you mean by white moderate. Also, why specifically white? Wtf
