I'd prefer to express why the downvote was given, since a lot of people aren't fully aware of how the alt-right uses a specific brand of humor to insinuate themselves into communities and that 4chan humor has its basis largely in white supremacist/misogynist/pedophile shit.
The whole point of the humor is to make a bigoted meme, then layer over it again and again until people who aren't "initiated" don't understand that they're basically propagating nazi symbols etc.
It's kind of like how after a while of a community making "ironic" nazi jokes it gets more and more difficult to distinguish the irony from just straight up support for racism. Morons get caught up in that trap, it's how the right recruits skinheads, incels, and proud boys and such, by massaging them into complacency.
Chantard humor and symbols should be rejected wholesale, no reason to allow the fediverse to become a breeding ground for right-wingers like Reddit became.
That’s very fair, and tbh a perspective I wasn’t viewing from when I made my sarcastic comment.
The worst thing that could happen is for the fediverse to turn into a reddit clone…we certainly don’t want that.
Discussion is required to change views and inform. So I now think my original was unwarranted, sorry about that.
