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 [email protected], it's a great comm.

  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

They enjoy the experience of stomping becaus they view it as their right to stomp after “gitting gud”.

It’s just people tying up too much self worth in their skill at a game in my personal opinion.

The call of duty spaces online are full of them.

You can get invested in getting good at a game or sport, just don't get good at basketball and then get mad when they make you play other adults and won't let you play on a middle school basketball team lmao.

It’s wild. Activision doesn’t help matters by obfuscating how it works, not just using raw Elo, and patenting conspiracy fuel (no evidence it exists let alone is used).

It’s mostly just gamers not wanting to admit they aren’t as good as they thought they were.
