Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Yes.

I'm all for using language to the best of your ability in order to try ensuring that you're communicating what you mean to, but one must recognize and accept that all languages are fluid and evolve over time. Pedantry done in an attempt to be helpful (i.e. educating someone who may not understand the issue) is fine - something I would encourage, even. Pedantry done in condescension is not only not helpful, but the resentment it can create is actually counterproductive.
