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

Side note I thought it was funny that in some throwaway lines in the original stories Arthur Conan Doyle made a point to show how woke and enlightened Holmes and Watson were about the barbaric practice of chattel slavery in America, but never questioned the barbaric practice of British colonialism in India or asking what Watson was doing in Afghanistan

I just think it's incredible that Watson's Afghanistan backstory was able to just be re-used without modification for the BBC series.
