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

Oh so the end of the joke is “but doctor - i am already in omelas” because the child is the person the citizens of omelas are forcing to suffer so they can have their utopia.

Kind of funny, but i didn’t know the watchmen thing. I hate fucking comics and superhero garbage. Ugh

I don't like superheroes but the original Watchmen graphic novel was a critique of super hero stories written by an anarchist. The medium of comics has plenty of slop but Watchmen effectively utilizes the art form to tell a story that really works as a comic.

Oh cool. I just only vaguely have heard of it from some cringe movie they made or some shit.
