I need this one explained to me… Did something happen in March 2025? Why are there two different versions of the same joke? Or is it all one big joke? I know the second frame in the first joke is a guy from the fallout show but I don’t understand what it means in this context. What is the person in the second joke, just a generic trans person? I also don’t understand what that has to do with COVID. Maybe I’m just dense.
Not just March 2025, just everything in those 5 years. The second version is an alt version because a lot of people transitioned in that time, including Myself. The joke is that Moises Arias played Rico on Hannah Montana, a children’s show on the Disney Channel, as well as Norman McClean on Fallout, who is constantly going through emotional termoil
I mean, yeah, I bet you did play a lot of Xbox.
Downvoting because, honestly, not funny.
Seen too much socially and emotionally seriously crippled kids during the last few years to be able to laugh about that.
ls it dark?
Yes, no question here.But is it humour?
Compare to this statement:
“Me, a Catholic having been taught that using condoms is evil: happy because it feels more intense.
I now have an STD.”It’s basically the same as the meme.
Funny?
Some still might think, but I really don’t.Worth talking about?
Definitely!
But not as a joke.Humor is incredibly subjective. I see the humor. I find it funny. It’s okay if you don’t think it’s funny, but it’s still humor.
You have to learn to laugh about anything otherwise your life will be very sad.
Yeah, but putimg this (actually not bad) meme into a “funny” community feels a bit like taking a whole generation, that we seriously fucked up, not seriously.
Even if OP is still in his teens or so and was actually telling about his own struggle.*Her
I was a teen when the pandemic hit. It changed Me so much that I have no idea what My life would have been like without it. Maybe better, I don’t know.
I don’t think you understand the fundamentals of humor, my friend.
To laugh at tragedy is how you get through tragedy. No one is laughing at this meme because they think it’s funny that a whole generation of kids got to miss out on their youth due to covid, wars and inflation.
We laugh because we can relate and because there is something kind of ironic about how we all probably hoped that coivd was gonna be a short lived thing and that things would go back to normal eventually. The fact that the hits have kept coming every single year since 2020 is comical because it’s so awful.
The young people of today have been screwed out of a carefree youth. Are you really gonna tone police their humor just because it offends you personally?
This is the classic misconception, that if you make a joke about something, you are not taking it serious.
You can talk about things you or other people struggle with in a joking way and it doesn’t take anything away from the seriousness. It might even help to let others understand your struggle.
This is especially a Gen Z thing, they love self deprecating jokes. I see nothing wrong with that personally.
You didn’t quite get me I think:
In my opinion, only the putting of the meme under c/funny is taking away from its seriousness.
The meme itself is totally fine.I’m GenX and we are also very much into fatalistic satirical humour (and absurdist humour - I actually enjoy brainrot - shoutout to GenZ: great work here!).
So I absolutely agree with trying to deal with dreadful stuff in form of biting satire.
But posting it under c/funny I perceive as derogative, as it implies: hey don’t take it serious.
It seems like a joke about OP realizing they’re trans more than anything.
It’s not about the Xbox slowly becoming garbage and OP regrets not getting a PC? 🤔
How do you figure? Not disagreeing Xbox has become garbage or that PC isn’t better. Just not sure how the meme is saying it.
The xbox ecosystem is about to collapse and most of the decisions micorosoft made for it to be where it is happened in the last 5 or 6 years.
Well, I don’t know OP, so maybe.
But the meme he posted is about a generation’s trauma and its dark consequences.
Totally belongs in a serious meme- or society-community, but seeing it filed under “funny” really annoys me.I’m gonna need you to edit that “he” to a “Her”, “They”, or “It”, in accordance with @[email protected]’s pronouns, which you can find by clicking on Her profile.
Well, it’s not a “wholesome memes” community. I get your point insofar as cynical humor can be frustrating at times.
Cynical! Thank you, that was the word I have been looking for the whole time!
But I still think that posting the meme to this funny community reduces it to an actual joke.
Placing it under c/memes or so would still preserve its cynical form while much less affecting its serious core premise.
