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

I have a Latino friend who lives in Japan. Whenever he goes around the Tokyo area cops will stop and ask him if he's lost (a way of asking if he belongs in the area). He's discovered that if he assures the cops he's actually Latino, not Filipino or Indian, the cops get visibly less tense and let him go.

I talked to an African American dude who lived in Japan and asked him if getting stopped was annoying. He said something like "yeah, but at least I know the Japanese cop isn't going to shoot me."

Not making excuses for Japanese cops ofc, they should go find something more productive to do than hassle random people.
