dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If you're not generally a fan of animated shows for kids already, it's not gonna be worth your time, especially since it starts pretty slow. I don't know anything about the fandom but I'm sure it's a shit show just like every other fandom.

I am, actually. I've seen quite a few of them, but early (personal, I might add) negative experiences with the SU fandom put me off a bit and I didn't get around to actually watching it.

just like every other fandom

Some fandoms can be worse overall than others especially when it comes to size and prevalence of their toxic sides.

I still play 40k sometimes but I accept and admit that for the most part the average 40k experience among strangers is going to be pretty awful compared to, say, Pathfinder.

well the "toxic side" people usually complain about is people who are too militant about being against drawing the characters thinner so while it is weird and toxic it's not the kind of weird and toxic 40k is

I won't argue with you there. Sometimes I do seriously consider giving up on my Orkz entirely because casual play with strangers more often than not makes this thing make funny sounds hitler-detector

Admittedly, very old portrayals of Orkz, that predate when I started playing, had i-am-adolf-hitler uniform and aesthetics. I only found out about that later. I of course reject that entirely and I've even refused to play with people that had "vintage" pieces.
