Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Not surprising, the same way /r/atheism was, for a while at least, more like /r/antichristianity. Part of the identity is opposition to “the enemy.”
Personally I think that part of the identity is unhelpful, and focus is better put on the identity being about what makes it the better choice. Like Dems losing in 2016 and 2024 because a good chunk of their messaging was “look how bad Trump is,” which only served to broadcast Trump even more.
(That’s not to say that complaints aren’t valid, it’s just a poor way to structure an identity.)
