Welcome to 2meirl4meirl
Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.
Rule 1: Respect the Community
If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
- No harassment
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Don’t be malicious
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
- Makes posting lazy and easy
- Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
- No spam
- No illegal content
- No porn or explicit content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.
Otherwise post your memes, share your pain, and salute your fellow sadpeeps

I think the more common trope is, "He was physically, mentally, and sexually abused by his mother and string of stepfathers... Oh! And yes, obviously social inteoversion and an inability to form relationships ensued among the many other things..."
Quite a few serial killers had wives and families. I’m listening to a deep dive about the Green River Killer and even he was able to pull ladies frequently.
Yeah, it's certainly not the case for everyone, but damn is it so much more a common backstory than anything else.
The shift in the 1970s from "they were born a monster" to "what made them a monster?" is honestly embarrassingly late on our anthropologic timeline.
Interestingly enough, lead exposure may have played more of a role than previously thought as well.
Yeah, afaik the formula is unpredictable reactions in authority figures plus abuse.
