dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Also maybe a hot take but I think ACAB shouldn't apply to Robocop because HE WAS LITERALLY FORCED TO BE A COP AGAINST HIS WILL. That bunny cop can eat shit tho.

"I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?"

On point with the satire. Too bad everyone only saw "whoa! cool robot cop!" and then we got the sequels, cartoons and toys.

Verhoeven has always been great with the satire.

Showgirls is brilliant if you realize it's cutting satire.

I can't imagine someone like Verhoeven getting allowed to make big budget Hollywood movies now.
