so i have this side blog

it's best-minion-memes.tumblr.com and i ran it for like 5 seconds before i got bored with the idea

the point was to make something dumb and anti-society bs because im basically still an 'edgy' teenager (that's such a dumb word made to dismiss/belittle people who think critically about issues in their society. fuck herd mentality)

anyway someone submitted this???? what? why?? why do you? do this? like?
I don't understand? this is not? good? on? any? level?
is the joke? that black people's? lives? are worth less? and the way that you are gonna say that is by pretending you murdered a black person???????????
is the joke that? there's a juxtaposition? of a dumb mascot? with a violent act?
is the joke that there is no joke? and that the meme is poorly constructed? because there's enough of a seed of a joke that this can not be the case and the meme is not obviously a bad meme - there's no artefacting or emoji or other high-level countermeme techniques present, and the meme only features one meme creation website logo so this cannot be the case!!

there is no dumb existentialism here. what social commentary there is is clouded by the fact that the meme does not seem to be overtly critical of the idea of killing a black (sorry, capital-B Black) stranger; if it's satire then they haven't put enough thought into it to make it critical, and yeah i guess it's debatable whether the point of satire is to be invisible, but in this case i would say it's definitely not clever enough to pass for satire.
it's probably just some bored white young teen who harbors racist ideas putting it out there and using the form of "meme" to cover up his racist intent, like a dog-whistle situation. putting "xd so fune meme xd xd lol" as the caption is the equivalent of saying "no offence" after like, killing a random stranger who was Black

tldr: i take my memes really seriously and i will not be pressing "post" on this meme, because it violates my dead sideblog's stringent community standards.

and also i am completely full of shit wow look at those words i use "high-level countermeme techniques" god what the hell am i even saying why do i talk so convolutedly
no tbh i love it
