you’ll have a different tone of voice when the world gets hit with the Cauliflower Flu /s

the thing can read fucking SNES soundtrack files out of the box. i’m sure it could run a marathon if you asked it to

similar boat here: what I’ve noticed is that, on your instance, ‘foreign’ toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star

this isn’t true for boosts, and I don’t know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isn’t aware of all the others; I’ve noticed that the difference is much larger now that I’m on a smaller instance with less connections), but I’m not sure

for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts

When I talk about dented head and drools, I’m not referring to this soyjak in particular (which is far from the worst), but many who are commonly used have that, such as this one (obvious CW for ableism)

Sorry for the confusion there!

(to clarify, I don’t think OP had any shitty intentions. but that’s why we should point out this stuff IMO, because it slips through the cracks and even people with good intentions can unknowingly spread shitty ideologies. I’m certainly not free of blame either)

as for the rest… well yea, no piece of media is morally without faults, memes included. but in the case of wojaks, I fell like the faults are high and obvious enough that we should still avoid using them.

But there is an issue with the meme itself. It often associates whiteness (notice how the chad is explicitly a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes) with being good/right, or physical characteristics associated with ‘stupidity’ (drooling, dented head) with being wrong. The underlying white supremacy & ableism is still there.

And no, we shouldn’t compromise on our values to use popular memes.

Even on their own, the shitty alt-right ideology is still present. Notice how the chad, the guy we’re meant to agree with, is very often (not always, but often) a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy?

Or how the guy with the wrong opinions we’re meant to mock is often a drooling person with a dented head?

The ableism and white supremacy of the right is still perceptible in the meme, even when it’s used to push leftist messages.

and on a more basic level, the idea of bad opinion = ugly, good opinion = beautiful is shitty and flirts with white supremacy (because what’s beautiful is very often dictated by eurocentric beauty standards), but that’s a problem in our societies as a whole, not just with this meme

There’s an ability like that in Pokémon Showdown’s Super Staff Bros mode. It makes you immune to any attacks with complicated names.

very annoying to play against but also very funny concept

not anymore, they became independent again in 2023

honestly, you’re right. I still worry that it could encourage an attitude of abled people not caring about alt text, because “oh well AI’s gonna do it anyway, who cares!”, but, really, abled people already don’t care about alt text, so…

to be faiiiiiiiir, the way they’re going about it is very reasonable. i’d rather have no AI but, if i had to have it, i’d rather have that than anything else.

funny meme, but let’s not forget that police violence isn’t an exclusively american problem.

ACAB means ACAB

Worth mentioning that Magnus Hirschfeld (guy who ran the Institute For Sexuality) was Jewish, and that is a big part of the reason why his institute was attacked. According to Nazi propaganda, his institute (and queerness in general) was a Jewish plot to weaken the white race.

Which goes to show, fascist propaganda hasn’t changed all that much since then!

This is why the Switch is superior.

It has bad games 😎

They wanted to teach kids about important historical figures in Quebec, so his name is René Léponsge
