    Are you ready to view one in which the body of Mathew Shepard is shown dangling from the fence with the words: me at the end of a very hard week

      If the majority of people would react a certain way, that’s the social norm. Your personal reaction to seeing Bush’s face on 9/11, after 22 years, is just not the norm, nor anyone else’s responsibility. This is not a graphic image, and it was not addressed to you specifically.

        So… the majority of people in the South of the USA are racists, fascists, Magaheads. Should we consider that the Norm?

        No?

        So we cannot use the tiny sample of Lemmings as a norm. Just saying.

          Norms aren’t right/wrong. You are on lemmy viewing this image, that’s your population. And that’s what you should be considering when offering your perspective.

          You’re being so heavily downvoted because people here don’t agree with you. Not that anyone is right/wrong.

                Taste is subjective

                And understanding of what is tasteless is the glue that binds society.

                Example — you will not find meme formats related to:

                MASS MURDER (save the tasteless piece of shit in question) RAPE SUICIDE etc

                There is a category for such memes — these ones that are intentionally tasteless can find friends in DANKMEMES
