But, for many people, it was funny precisely because it was despicable. A 2018 article in Them argued on the contrary, with the headline 'Painting Millie Bobby Brown as a Homophobe Isn't Funny - It's Despicable'. That's not to say everyone agrees it's in good humour. I won't even talk about how it affects Millie because it's purely common sense and a lot of you have mentioned it already.When it comes to the creation of these homophobic memes, no one is putting in the work like gay men themselves. If we have been making those mistakes in the past, it's time we stop. TLDR : Humor doesn't justify an action or justify making light of an action which would have been illegal or morally wrong otherwise. Did we already forget that 49 people died in 2016 because of a hate crime? How about I just joke around and tell my gay friend "Hope you get shot in the club, b**tch!" ? Would that be okay too? We know how influential viral memes can be and eventually people will start quoting it and say things like "kill yourself, fag", "hope you get run over by a car" because "it's a meme".ĪND not to mention the hate crimes that are already prevalent against the LGBT community. This is literally hate speech against a minority, If she did this in real life or ANY person for that matter there would have been major consequences because it's wrong.Īnd making a meme with homophobic statements will just encourage everyone to make those statements casually or "as a joke". (That's not right either because millions of people suffer the death of their babies and that is no joke.) It's like kicking a homeless person on the street and laughing because "it's funny".

You can't just cross a line and say you did nothing wrong by calling it "humor" or a "meme". And even people have been joking about "dead babies" before it still doesn't make this meme right. THAT BEING SAID just because something is funny doesn't make it right or justified. I don't feel personally attacked by this and I'll admit I do understand the humor. It’s literally meant to be shocking, absurd, you name it, and it’s by essence not serious at all, so like all serious things, it shouldn’t be taken seriously. TL DR : Is the situation ok ? No, it went too far and it sucks for her. Is the meme ok ? Yes.

Y’all making diagnostics saying we’re mentally ill and have no morals for laughing at a ****ing meme are just showing a pathetic attempt of feeling like saints It may be not « Mel brooks » level of satire but it’s still an ironic meme in the way that what’s funny is that it’s obviously fake and absurd.įinding a dead baby joke funny doesn’t mean you want to see babies die. There are no rules in humour, especially not in memes, which are often plain absurd. People that think this is the issue are just trying to victimize themselves when the only victim of this is Millie.ģ : ? It’s not because YOU don’t find it funny that « it’s not how it should be done ». them and almost everyone that finds them funny is gay themselves.

What I meant was that it’s stupid to whine about the use of the F word and implying that those who make those memes are homophobic since well. 1 : Well I said a hundred times I got that it sucked for Millie and that I was talking about the gay issue so maybe take time to read what I say before reheating the same tired argument that doesn’t even fit the context (not directed at you)Ģ : I talked about Stan Twitter because they’re 99% gay.
