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 think it's because the people motivated enough to respond here are always doing so because they were triggered. The normal people aren't triggered.

this way of using the word triggered really undercuts PTSD and it originates from reactionary groups - can we please not replicate it here?

Sure I don't mind taking that on-board I've never really run into anyone criticising it, do you have alternative suggestions that can replace it while adequately describing the same phenomenon?

Provoked maybe? Baited? I'm not completely sure honestly.
