dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Strugatsky brothers are one the the best-known Soviet SF writers, and one of the biggest critiques about their works was always "there's almost no women in your books". To which their honest reply was "We don't know how to write women". No actual misogyny, though. Just no important female characters.

Still, very good books. I've just finished the Noon cycle - a series about an utopian future where Communism won. Highly recommend it.

lmao honestly I respect that. Ideally they’d, you know, learn how to do that, but at least they didn’t bullshit.
