For the dankest of all memes

Isn't this format based off of a racist porn "meme"? Why use it?
To be clear I'm not talking about the characters themselves, they're cool, I'm talking about the format/set up. Surely there's a better way to illustrate the point.
It is based off of that meme. While I don't think the racism transfers to this version, the implied sexual violence is still there.
It's 5 people behind a couch where 1 person is sitting, I understand you view it as racist because where the original is from but literally nobody else think of it that way.
It's literally the exact same couch photoshopped into the picture. The porn sites watermark is still in the corner of the image. Whoever made the meme is clearly aware of the original.
I am just not a fan of this format. Or any of the porn based meme formats. Call me a prude if you want, but I don't find them funny.
I feel like the main problem arises from this comment, and your original one.
That first comment feels a bit disingenuous in that based off of the second comment, you already kind of knew why they used it, but you’d like them not to based off of little more then your personal tastes.
While there’s nothing wrong with your dislike for it, or it not fitting your personal type of humor; it feels much rougher when you try to dictate what others should find humorous, or use for memes, based off of your own personal tastes.
So again, you not liking it is perfectly fine, but just because you personally find something weird or unfunny doesn’t mean that everyone else need to as well.
I'm not saying they're not aware of the original, I am too, I'm saying it doesn't matter and it's weird to be upset about it, I've never seen this happen before
Fair enough
Yeah I know my stance on such things is probably unpopular and maybe considered weird, but I just thought it was worth sharing. Because I find it weird how these meme formats proliferate.
Thank you for engaging and commenting constructively instead of being all mean to me or something lmao.
It's ok and sorry if I did come across as a little mean
Nah you weren't mean or anything, it's all good
