The title leaves out important context
“Posted without further comment,” wrote Trump Jr. on social media, alongside a photoshopped image of his father dropping a bright green phallus onto an unsuspecting group of female basketball players.
And several people responded to that post pointing out the irony that these are the people "protecting women's sports" from trans athletes....
A big part of them "protecting" women is just doing anything to reduce the amount of their competition for women.
They view women as property, and that's the context they're "protecting" them as.
They hate gay men, because they're worried about being treated how they treat women.
Days after she pleaded with fans to “stop throwing dildos on the court,” Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was hit in another dildo incident this week.
Misogyny's back, baby! Congrats to the insecure man-baby crowd
Worse, crypto betting platforms are allowing people to bet on dildo incidents at WNBA games.
That seems...exploitable.
Like, how hard could it be to make the bet and just throw it yourself?
That has to be a brand new sentence
Oh yeah . . the future's . . uh . . the future's great. Yep.
mmm hmm.
That's so funny/S! RELEASE THE EPSTIEN FILES!
To be fair, Trump did basically turn the new rose garden into a basketball court. And he is a sex offender that’s on the Epstein list.
Hilary called it. Fucking deplorables.
How is it a meme if it isn’t being memeticly shared and reproduced?
I hate now lazy we are with modern words.
A silly photo ≠ meme upon creation.
But it’s a meme now? Because he shared it? I guess so. Bleh. I just find the way the word is used to be poor.
I think a gene that exists only once (from a mutation) and is not passed on is still a gene. Junior intended it for sharing, even if he's not particularly good at it, so I don't think the terminology is incorrect.
Does this mean all shared jokes are memes? Only private jokes that don’t escape their original audience stay jokes?
Are all amusing paintings memes? Or just the ones that are reproduced?
Memes don’t have to be funny. That’s what I’m actually noticing I think. How “funny” and “joke” often get labeled as meme instead these days. Not always. It’s not fully inclusive. But it has taken over a large percentage.
In the end I’m just grousing at the evolution of language. But, maybe I’m just noticing how memes have displaced other cultural things in the public sphere?
I really need a nap. Don’t mind me.
Trump threw himself off the roof?
Is Don Jr. okay? Getting thrown off the White House roof sounds dangerous.
What a trashy bastard, shit-apples don't fall far from the tree eh
Dudes fucking wierd, man.
Cocaine's a helluva drug
These people are so relatable!
