I don’t understand this

The phrasing brought to mind the opening lyrics of “I’m Eighteen” by Alice Cooper

Why are the two unnecessary asterisks different sizes?

Stupid idiot doesn’t even realize that the cartridge’s internal battery has died probably like 10-15 years ago and saving is now impossible, Jesus man go one button press past the load screen

I don’t have handy a nonfictional record of kids thinking of it as a fictional part of pop culture, but that context is critical for the premise of this joke

If you’re commenting here, you’re older than the age I’m referring to

fake

I don’t mean staged. I mean they think that it’s just something from pop culture that people reference without necessarily knowing what it’s from or about or having seen the original media, like “Play it again, Sam” or “That’s the beauty of it: it doesn’t do anything” or thinking that 420 and 69 are funny internet numbers with no real meaning.

Do kids these days think that the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald wasn’t real and it’s just a thing from pop culture like they do with 9/11?

There’s…… something…… on…… the wing!

No body found means that he’s still up there somewhere

And you don’t care or question why somebody would have said “d*e”?

Who exactly is forcing people to repost the memes they find? If something is bad, simply do not do it if you have the choice.

re-make

Or just find the original. Or superimpose the uncensored word over the censored word. Better yet, you don’t have to remake or modify OC — why build our forum’s foundation on some other site’s works?

understand

I can understand just fine. The censorship is just horribly tacky and is a form of compliance with corporate agenda. If you are drawing from these media, then you are condoning that rewrite of language.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek neologistic derogatory term

Please explain to us how the Threadiverse algorithms promote content that receives either more comments or more direction-agnostic voting activity, and how this isn’t just OP being lazy and not selecting an uncensored version of the meme that they found on a site which has either those factors or which does reduce the visibility of posts with taboo words in

Some people really are out there living their lives with aphantasia. I can’t imagine that.

There is no R in that

The problem is the corporate system and that people are willing to abide by and accept that system, and when they bring the compromises due to the system to places (such as the Threadiverse) to which those compromises are irrelevant.

Pshhh this guy doesn’t remember the controversy in 1972 when 8 year old poet Gerald “Little Milton” Bostock said the word “g**r”
