Where's your pieces of flair? I mean, meme energy?
Lemmy is too political
Fucking everything is political. If you think something is too political its because your not political enough.
Your weekend is political, the 8 hour work day is political, the fucking air you breath and the pollution it is fucking political. EVERYTHING IS FUCKING POLITICAL!
A shit post about Chad farquad saying "E" after being asked what's the second vowel is political?
Yes. First thing to mind are the copyright implications of remixing someone else's character, and the copyright the meme creator gets to the work regardless. Is it explicitly legal to do or is it just that most creates don't care much, what about if you try to earn profit by publishing a book of meme?
Then there are the platforms the meme it is hosted on, is it home hosted, is it hosted on a mega tech site, both of which come with a host of differing legal responsibilities and implications.
Careful, you'll get banned from blahaj zone for talk like that
there's no escape, bitch
politics is reality and you just want fantasy... but if you keep reading fantasy, you'll eventually notice something horrible about it. Spoiler alert: its politics
Damn, ok, relax... It's like you guys are on cocaine or something and I accidentally brought up politics. I meant that Lemmy is too political to be dumb about memes. That's it... Chill.
All the best movies are political. Star Wars, Citizen Kane, Jurassic Park, the Matrix. Nobody can name a great movie that isn't political, because politics is what makes movies fun. If they didn't have politics, they'd suck.
