You're not allowed to express annoyance with memes

Because being tired of hearing the same joke over and over is the same thing as not having a sense of humor. ¬_¬

there are very few memes that never grow stale.

among them are "over 9,000," rickrolling, and Mega Milk.

I have been exposed to the exact opposite opinion

never go on reddit

Boney · 2016-08-16 03:07:29

Go on reddit sometimes tbh

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-08-16 03:13:16

Reddit is a strange environment and its internal cultures are wildly polarised. That said, if you're on a part of Reddit where people are actively downvoting you for expressing annoyance with excessive meme humour, you're either not in a good place or you're being more of a dick about it than the meme people. Or both, which is possible, depending on the circumstances.

The parts I've looked on where people get upset about Harambe jokes seem to be "lol more Harambe jokes!" in response to that

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-08-16 03:19:43

Then you might be on the wrong part of Reddit.

Anonus · 2016-08-16 03:20:18

I don't post there

I just googled "tired of harambe" and found r/teenagers

Crystal · 2016-08-16 03:21:43

That subreddit is for worse, and for better (?), exactly what you would expect from the name, so...

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-08-16 03:22:08

That sounds like a bad subreddit on principle, and it seems like you're projecting this onto the whole of the Internet for... some reason?

Anonus · 2016-08-16 03:27:10

No

I'm just explaining myself poorly

It seems like much of Reddit, especially parts I don't go on much/at all, loves repeating the same joke over and over and over and over

And by extension Imgur which is somehow worse

Just sounds like, well, the nature of memes honestly. Especially for places the spawn that stuff, and injokes, and injokes based on injokes, and injokes based on not getting those injokes, etc.

Exactly.

Regarding how AU said it, though: It seems like you have trouble with specificity, in that you only realise in retrospect that you're expressing frustration with something extremely specific but initially phrase it in a way that sounds very broad.

Perhaps if you presented the full anecdote instead of just the generalities of what you took away from it, it would make more sense. And just make a better story: "So, one day I was thinking how tired I was of Harambe memes, and I wondered if anyone else was, so typed 'tired of harambe' into Google, and..."

Anonus · 2016-08-16 03:57:20

Yeah, that would be better

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-16 04:00:29

> Harambe jokes

why do Harambe jokes exist at all

the event isn't even funny

not just like "this so morally wrong that we can't joke about it" not funny

but just like "this happened, it's shocking, but i have nothing more to say about this" not funny

Mostly, and not to harp on this since I figured this was the case, but it comes back to the ambiguity thing I've spoken about many times. It's generally worth the time spent double-checking to make sure what you mean in your heard comes out in your words, and/or being all "Wait hold on, that might not sound like what I mean..."

Anyway, understandable.

because it's a shocking death that isn't actually a big moral issue and it's making fun of things that are big moral issues

honestly I thought it was a commentary on the media not shutting up about celebrity deaths for a long time, in part

glennmagusharvey · 2016-08-16 14:03:52

also it took me a while to realize that internet flamers talking about "BLM" were talking about Black Lives Matter rather than the Bureau of Land Management

i mean, conservative fuckhead types DID just have a high-profile run-in with the Bureau of Land Management over in Oregon, after having another one in Nevada, so it wouldn't surprise me that they're still wanking about the same issue, as opposed to a different one that shares the same acronym

Salix Babylonika · 2016-08-16 14:11:16

I don't think most people even know that the BLM exists.

I couldn't honestly tell you what they actually do.

Klinotaxis · 2016-08-16 14:55:17

they have been in the news lately, at least.
