[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (1 child) How is Trump being trolled by this? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 37 points 2 years ago* (1 child) He’s not. But several years ago the media latched onto a well established term from “internet culture” without understanding (or perhaps caring) what it was actually describing, and decided that it meant ridiculing something on social media. It’s an example of a subculture’s slang getting thoroughly corrupted through mainstream exposure until it no longer means what it once did. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) This headline is basically “Have you seen this meme?” and nothing more. Its then shared on the same websites as memes get posted. Such enlightened age of information we live in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) While I agree with your point, this isn't an indictment of journalism. Comicsands.com is George Takei's personal buzzfeed clone. I love George Takei but it's not an actual news source, it's a meme blog. Personally, I don't think it belongs in any serious news oriented communities. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 years ago That just sounds like a tabloid with extra steps. However i am not one to argue with subjective literature for entertainment but in this place mistook it for attempted journalism. Would it fit better in /memes? It is not a meme but contains some and adds context. permalink fedilink source parent
