Graknorke, just look at the Tim Hunt case for a textbook case of people going "Muh Speech!" after the guy was yelled at for saying something dumb.

Did he ever try and make it a free speech issue? I thought he had the far more eloquent defence of "It's just a prank joke bro."

Not sure he did directly, but plenty of his defenders certainly did. You just have to look at the thread we had here.

Well isn't this just a hodgepodge of dangerous topics.  It's interesting seeing what 2012 was concerned with.  PTW.

Since this thread is back...

Excessive edgelordness. "Hahahhaha i say things that are socially unacceptable xD im such a funny random memer : p"

I'm still too actually-mad to say more without it being a rant.

[Loud Whispers]

Tbh I don't mind excessive edgelordness just because that's contextual and relative, I get pissed off when people call everything edgy

Go to youtube comments and find statements that deal with serious topics but clearly aren't edgy and then you'll without a doubt over time find more and more teenagers abusing those commentors for being "fucking edgy teenagers" because they don't know what edgy means

Now, if they're dealing with serious topics in the comments below a Linkin Park AMV...

Will you be publishing it engraved on buckshot?

A whole year has passed for us to become annoyed with new things.

I've grown annoyed with how any funny image or short video on the internet, especially with a caption, is referred to as a meme.  And how the creation of such things has become a pursuit for its own sake.  It's well out of hand these last couple years.

Being on the internet doesn't make everything a meme, and they lose their charm when they're forced.

I guess I'm old, but I still don't know what a meme is.

I think it's some kind of babbie word, like gaga, and booboo.

I'm afraid you're less old and more unaware, since the term "meme" is older than you are.

It's an idea or concept that spreads (possibly virally) through a population. It's a sort of model of trends/behaviours/etc. that treats them like organisms, with memes analogous to genes. A successful meme is one that spreads and survives.

Internet memes are just a specific subset of that.


There's a certain age group that likes to parrot the meme of the hour. It bothers me, too.

[nenjin]

Getting tired of offensive 4chan memes. The sick, stupid cackling of the people that present them to me is starting to grind my gears something fierce. It's like, stand for something or just please shut the fuck up. This "le enfant provocateur" shit was old in 2014.
