Why was the overly attached girlfriend allowed to post her guidelines for managing a violent and abusive relationship with memes on Reddit over a period of years?

I can't figure out if you are an idiot, not funny, or a little bit of both.

It wasn't normalised it was made much easier with social media and a considerable amount of memes are self humour

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not self humor. This girl was a meme, as in her photo was taken and then text out on top of it to portray a crazy ex-/girlfriend. The real person is not actually like that.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Self humour from people posting the meme not from her herself.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

And I doubt very much that people were posting those memes in reference to themselves. I posted them, but because they were funny, not because I related to them. In fact, imo they are so over the top that I doubt any person that would relate to them would think they were funny.

lol now I want to know what meme he's so mad about.

And that's what people will say about your memes in ten years; get used to it

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All memes are dumb. They're supposed to be.

I'm talking about being offended by that.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ah sorry man, I thought you meant the meme was stupid

I think OP is trolling though

[–] athos77@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

I don't see why that's why issue. Men have been stalking, harassing and murdering their ex-girlfriends for much, much longer.

[–] lucullus@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

What the hell are you talking about?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Generous of you to assume it stopped being normalized.
