Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

First of all, please take this the way I intend it and not the way I fear it'll sound from a tipsy spectrum dude: if you're in a vulnerable spot, you need help. I have noticed your name elsewhere (the fediverse is not large after all) and you have been posting a lot of good content. The turn to 2meirl4meirl is concerning, though we don't know each other. I saw someone refer to this sort of thing (2meirl4meirl on Reddit to be specific) as "misery porn" while I followed that sort of content myself, and was forced to concede they have a point.

Again, please excuse the term, but "wallowing" in outright super-depressive stuff like 2meirl4meirl could possibly harm you more than it can help you. There is nothing wrong with a bit of gallows humor, but at a certain point things just get too bleak. 2m4m is an offshoot from meirl which is already heavily self-deprecatory and/or kind of a bummer in many cases - and this is by definition the stuff that is too depressing for them. Since the resulting content is still sometimes relatable and darkly/perversely/depressingly funny, it may be hard to detect the tipping point where certain sorts of content start being more damaging (through reminding or reinforcement of negative patterns) than they are beneficial. This may not apply to you - but please consider the possibility.

I hope you are doing okay.
