For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

As to not having neopronouns "back in my day", a lot of neopronouns are surprisingly old. Ze is from the 1860s, hir from the 1920s. Even relatively new ones like xe have been around since the early 70s.
And they may be pointless for you, but they're valuable to some people so why be rude about it?
I think the point some people try to mke is that they should be free to use the pronouns they seem fit. Forcing someone else to use language they are not comfortable with is just as rude.
"Let me use whatever language I want!" "Nope! That is rude!"
Both sides being rude.
