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

Plus the recent conflicts in West Asia still exist in the Bluey universe, so probably the best recent episode "Cricket" is tainted by the fact Rusty's dad was probably murdering Afghan hounds and planting weapons on them

I apologize if I seem like a smuglord here, but I just want to point out Afghanistan is in Central and South Asia.

Also what-the-hell war criminal children's show. aus-delenda-est

Fair, I've just recently started saying West Asia instead of the Middle East (as it's a British colonial thing). I should have said West and Central Asia. I wanted to basically include Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza etc. But then I guess I've also got to say North Africa for Libya.

Yeah, it's surprisingly hard to describe the region in a concise way. West and Central Asia and North Africa doesn't exactly roll off the tongue lol.
