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

Dad-films are about men who prove themselves by suffering through a violent ordeal (reluctantly of course ;) ) to protect society. Society is symbolically femine of course. If the wife is dead its a redemption story. On the other hand if the wife is just fine on her own, it sort of undermines the raison d'être of the hero. Like, be normal, your stoic suffering isn't a positive attribute. Society will still be standing if you lighten up.
