Why was the overly attached girlfriend allowed to post her guidelines for managing a violent and abusive relationship with memes on Reddit over a period of years?

I can't figure out if you are an idiot, not funny, or a little bit of both.

It wasn't normalised it was made much easier with social media and a considerable amount of memes are self humour

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 16 points 10 months ago

Not self humor. This girl was a meme, as in her photo was taken and then text out on top of it to portray a crazy ex-/girlfriend. The real person is not actually like that.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Self humour from people posting the meme not from her herself.

And I doubt very much that people were posting those memes in reference to themselves. I posted them, but because they were funny, not because I related to them. In fact, imo they are so over the top that I doubt any person that would relate to them would think they were funny.

I don't see why that's why issue. Men have been stalking, harassing and murdering their ex-girlfriends for much, much longer.

Generous of you to assume it stopped being normalized.
