  • You see it happen over a course of 5 years or so. A community posts jokes with poor taste as satire but slowly and surely the people who are posting the jokes are people who are posting them seriously and they’re still getting upvotes and support because of the way th community views the jokes as “positive” slowly the people who aren’t for those jokes leave because its not clear if we’re joking anymore. All that’s left are the people who post the satire seriously.


  • They aren’t even saying this is edgy in fact they like the meme. They’re just telling and informing us about the slippery slope that this sort of meme can give if a community isn’t aware of themselves. As an elder millennial on the internet, I agree with this sentiment that we should be careful with what kind of views and humor we share with each other. It should always be explicit that these jokes are jokes and not representative of the actual views of the community. Satire needs to remain satire
