A place for anime memes! Anything that isn't done is still a WIP... yea :D

A backup community in the event Reddit goes downhill even further. Make an account to join and post on this outpost if you think having a backup/alternative community is important!

Provisional Rules

Memes are encouraged to be related to weeb culture and should make an attempt at humor. Humor is subjective, of course, but at least try to make an attempt. Meta references are allowed.
No politics, karma whoring, advertising/promotion, or keyboard fights. Take your drama elsewhere.
If you think your anime contains a major plot spoiler from a series (whether currently airing or not), try Include the anime/source name in the title (e.g. [Anime Name] Meme title). There is currently no functionality to flair spoilers, so readers should exercise their discretion in opening posts.
NSFW rule: Mark your post as NSFW if it contains explicit sex, gratuitous nudity, or extreme stuff (e.g. scat, guro, vore, etc.). When in doubt, NSFW it for the browsing safety of your fellow users.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cake#Japanese_metaphor

In Japan, women had traditionally been expected to marry at a young age, and those who were unmarried after the age of 25 were metaphorically referred to as (unsold) Christmas cakes (クリスマスケーキ) in reference to items which are still unsold after the 25th. The term first became popular during the 1980s but has since become less common because Japanese women today can remain unmarried with somewhat less stigmatization. An equivalent term does, however, still exist that hearkens to the "unsold" nature of unmarried women, urenokori (売れ残り, "unsold goods").

I wonder if unmarried men are also seen as "unsold"...
