Can we make c/politicalmemes and keep this sort of content there? It's clearly a point of division in the community, we should be more accommodating for apolitical folks.
There's no such thing as 'apolitical'. The very idea of leaving politics to our superior politicians is what brought us and keeps us in this state.
This is not at all a political issue however. This is about not being a trash human being. Being racist is not a political opinion, it's spreading hatred in the world and being a waste of skin.
Sometimes there are comments that I wish I could upvote multiple times, this is one of them.
I'm not arguing for or against of what the post says, I'm only saying that the designated place for funny cat pictures is probably not the right place for a meaningful discussion, sharing opinions, education or anything else but funny cat pictures.
When i browse c/memes I want to see easily digestible posts that will make me exhale through my nose, not deep, thought provoking walls of text.
If you think this post is deep and thought provoking then I don't know what to tell you. It just makes fun of american conservatives and that's it. This post is literally just "conservatives dumb", as easily digestible as I've ever seen.
Then c/politicalmemes would be a perfect place for conservatives and progressives to call each other dumb and let everyone else on c/memes enjoy their funny cats.
I'd rather not have a bunch of separate meme communities. I like varied content.
Then you could subscribe to both communities. Think of it as having a separate category for gay and straight porn, some people are into both, some into one or the other, some into neither and because it's in its own category everyone can pick exactly what they want to see.
If porn was only categorised by gender and orientation that would be great, but it's not. There's a million obscure communities for every single aspect of every fetish, and there's usually zero way to include everything but feet and piss. It takes so much effort to find something fresh because you have to intentionally look up skirts, or lesbian domination, or voyeurism or what have you.
Maybe something you'd like is in feet, because of a brief under the table socks on tease, and that's just a tragedy because that's just fine.
