  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The meta becomes the meta because as people start using it, it becomes required to win.

It doesn't mean you can't play without it, you just can't be competitive without it. Some people want to have fun playing games, and some people want to be good at games. And some people can't have fun unless they're winning.

It's only required if you're a bitch who plays fuck-ass games with Ranked rules where literally everything fun is banned except for laser beam automatic weapons. Meta whores are all carried and won't even admit it. I had straight up righteous glee when they nerfed the aim assist on BO7 and saw all those "professional" players struggling to hit a single shot at first. Sure, they did adapt later, but them noticing they were straight up aim assist merchants for a good while was extremely funny.

And then those idiots have the NERVE to complain about shotguns or snipers... BITCH! YOU HAD AN AIMBOT FOR 5 FUCKING YEARS!!
