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

Yeah whatever makes reading more widely more accessible to people seems good.

Even when I'm reading stuff originally written in English it's not like I'm paying enormous attention to names. If you're not subvocalising names are sort of start letter-end letter-length-shape tags.

I really appreciate it when authors include dramatis personae anyway. Helps if you get busy and need to put a book down, it also means authors don't have to exposition in every new character which can kill pacing in complex stories.
