    I think every meme is political. That's the point of a meme.

      I’m finding no matches for this image or some text on it, so it seems like you made this meme and posted it onto a forum which has only a couple of those criteria as its actual rules. Is this just bad faith smear campaigning to stir shit against this community and/or its mods?

      Rule 3 is also the only one of these rules that is the slightest bit dubious. The rest are justifiable for most audiences and mod teams, assuming there’d be a reasonable time limit to when reposting would be permissible.

        There are suitable subforums for most of those, but they’re typically bothersome in a general meme page for both audiences and mods

          Rule 1 and 5 I agree because those are not memes (like screenshots from xitter, that's not a fucking meme). They can be funny or worth sharing, but they are not memes.
          Rule 4 because those are just lame and boring.

          Rule 2 meh.
          Rule 6 I agree when the same one has been constantly posted by karma-farmers or when the image/video has been compresed, censored and watermarked to death.

          But rule 3... A meme is something that managed to go viral, by definition it got so used that everyone and their mother knows about it and how to use it... It's meant to be overused (until brands use it, then it's dead).

              Nah, political scientists say everything is political. And since people like memes, they must like political memes, which is all memes

                Sigh… You’re being difficultly obdurate and pedantic. Let’s say “No overtly and/or directly political memes” then.

                  Well memes are like movies, right? And the most popular movies are very political. Like Star Wars or Citizen Kane. I think people like politics. Whatever thing they don't like that you've noticed, I don't think it's politics. I think it's something else that looks like politics.
