I think that if we shame people for stealing memes, it will make them less creative and the memes will be worse. Nobody is just stealing the memes, they share the pictures they like, consistent with their taste, and with their creative captions. Sometimes captions make the meme. I am for promoting copyright chaos, at least in the memes. Share everything you like and have as much fun as you can. Stop gatekeeping!:akko_fistup:

@distorted@transfem.social yes! the whole point of memes is that they're endlessly copied, sometimes modified, and then run into the ground until they're not funny anymore then after a while it might come back and become funny again

@distorted@transfem.social whats the point of a meme if its not shared? Something to improve people's days and spread a bit of info if needed? Why would anyone want to restrict that?

@distorted@transfem.social @MOULE@mastodon.moule.world the only reason copyright exists is capitalism. Memes are inherently anticapitalist.

@distorted@transfem.social I always found this "stealing meme" thing to be the most idiotic thing ever said about memes. And when I see watermarked memes I cringe and get the urge to remake them without the watermark out of spite.
