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 /c/slop

  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

Fitting, because that game's story is astonishing levels of libshit.

I have no idea how they screwed it up so much. It's like they were terrified of making Kerrigan a bad guy, so they had her feel sowwy about all the murder and that makes it ok.

Many such cases in liberal storytelling. Between that and an insufferably toxic and tribalistic fandom, I'm kind of glad I hadn't tried to get into Steven Universe.

Starcraft 2, mainly. There's layers to that bad writing cake, but the old "atrocity enjoying villain just needs to be cuddled by DudeBro McManPain to be 'saved'" is there and it reeks, and there is also "actually there's a secret group of masterminds that are behind every bad thing in the world" that sounds like contemporary "but RUZZIA" cope too.

Or maybe the secret group is billionaires 😜
