Dwarf Fortress on 9gag . . . kinda.

Seems that someone decided to cut out the relevant part of our beloved fun comic, though. Fair number of people pointing it out in the comments, though.

What you see is the original comic. The dwarf fortress panel was added later by a user of these very forums - the name escapes me though.

So that's this "9gag" people keep typing about. I am unimpressed.

You really don't want to go down that path.

Basically there's a really petty squabble between them and 4chan.

I've heard an argument that they have taken a funny image or two from somewhere else on the internet and put their own watermark on it.

And between 9gag and imgur. And probably a few other places as well.

I find 9gag annoying because it basically took all the old memes and introduced them to a new audience, mainly facebook users, them basically beating a long dead horse and screaming at everyone to watch is the annoying part.

That and the whole watermarking stuff that isn't theirs thingy.

Also 9gag is basically reddit, but worse.

And they watermark everything, often getting rid of the original watermark.

Ya'll could've just said "they deal with memes" and it would be sufficient for most people to hate them.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
