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

Yea. He's a giant piece of shit all around, to such an extent that it destroyed his family. He just had to hate on trans people too much to take care of his loved ones, it was existential to him.

It really is a cautionary tale like something out of folklore. Hate will turn you into a fuckin gremlin and nobody will want to be around you except those who are already gremlinned and gremlins-to-be.

Hbomberguy did a 50+ hour 101% DK64 nightmare “Fuck Graham Linehan” playthrough for a trans charity in the UK. It was incredible to watch.

Linehan and JK Rowling are both interesting cases to me, in that they both created beloved pieces of media (in Linehan's case, Father Ted and The IT Crowd) and they both could have quite easily just sat back and had a chill life, working on whatever they like knowing their legacy was secure, and they both decided to just completely fuck the whole thing up by being hateful to trans people for no particular reason. Rowling probably less so because she still gets that Harry Potter money no matter what, but Linehan pretty much got himself blacklisted from every sensible area of the industry, destroyed his marriage and now just seems to be endlessly bitter about everything.

I think we're going to find out when the HBO show gets cancelled before finishing the books exactly how much cache Harry Potter still has as a series. Nostalgic Millenials (minus most of the LGBT ones) can only carry a series so far and it's not like the Fantastic Beasts films created a new generation of Potterheads.

I like your optimism and wish I could share it. I guess the last Fantastic Beasts flopped pretty bad

The only way I see them completing is the Warner Discovery executives feeding it money purely for ideological reasons. Zaslav is a huge cheap ass, so there's a viable chance it gets canned after a season or two.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

But hasn't David Zazlav specifically stated multiple times that he wants to prioritize and boost conservative content to make an ideologically "balanced" media empire that focuses on conservatives and the right wing of the Democratic party equally?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

It's a competition between the ideologically driven part of Zaslav's brain and the fucking cheap ass part of Zaslav's brain.

Charlie Kirk memes were actually a plot by Big AI to stimulate consumer use of their models illuminati
