Comment on I'm sick of these asterisk-holes

In a world where people use AI to generate the stupidest nonsense because they don’t want to bother opening an image editor and “it’s just a meme brah”, you expect people to to hunt down “the original” because someone put a dot on a word to farm outrage engagement?

Who exactly is forcing people to repost the memes they find? If something is bad, simply do not do it if you have the choice.

  To most people, the core value of a meme is not diminished by a random speck of colour on it. If someone’s found a clever way to express something that I agree strongly with, I don’t give much of a fuck if it says “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking d*e” or “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking die”.

    And you don’t care or question why somebody would have said “d*e”?

    Of course I do and the answer is engagement farming.
