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

Downvotes are from those who grew up without a mother.

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah.... Me too. Lost mom at 0 and dad at 24.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Shit... does this mean I should down vote?

Honor your missing parent with love, not negativity.

I was just half-joking, half making a half-assed point, anyway. Do as you like.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Lol, im not honoring a woman who abandoned me. She's alive btw.

Or those who simply dislike transphobic memes

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Transphobic?

Girl is living her hottest life.

[–] DrivebyHaiku@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Transphobic in the sense it implies that trans women or non-gender conforming people are the result something "wrong" with their upbringing. In this case the lack of a Father figure / broken home. Also potentially implies that a male authority figure presence didn't "set them to rights" by supplying adequate threat.

Yeah. Kinda shit.

Yeah - apparently the boy is ashamed of his chest (look closely at how much of it is shown between the two versions).

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

While it could be construed that way "boys stay boys" it could also depict a femboy, or more likely play on the m/f specifity of the meme. It's just forced, grammatically.

Of course. I was just advocating for a kind of equal treatment myself. Growing up without proper parenting/guidance sucks, regardless of the number, gender, or relationship to self of said parent(s). Even "complete" families can (and often do) suck at the job. I'll never understand the idea conservatives have that just because they're the child's parent, they automatically know what's best for their kids - they usually provably don't.
