dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I can totally believe that with V**sh it's a half-assed attempt to look more manly (especially given his hair), but this seems like a crass over-generalization rooted in things that have very little to do with the people you are accusing, like

but i think it's disrespectful to me personally

I promise that most of the "frumpy(?) nerds" aren't trying to either pull one over on you or insult you. A pretty large portion of them are probably just depressive types who are just picking the lower-maintenance option, which is consistent with them not "dressing the part" (according to whom is something their part, anyway?).

V**sh is deeply contemptible and probably also insecure about his jawline or something, this is in no manner a defense of him.
