I made a post with a meme about a TV episode in which some evil aliens pretended to be friendly and share a vaccine, but the vaccine turned out to intentionally render the victims infertile so they would not be able to fight back when they began being enslaved. Unfortunately, I did not consider that to an outsider, the meme just looked like your garden variety vaccine misinformation/conspiracy. I was able to edit the title and add some context to the post body, so the post was able to "recover" as more people were able to see what the joke was intended to be. But initially, it was (understandably) down voted immensely. Just a funny misunderstanding.

I wonder if people just saw it in their feeds and didn't see the community? Since with just a few words into this comment I knew exactly what episode you were talking about... And I am sure that if I had seen your meme on chevron7 without the added context I would've known immediately. Since those are such a good couple of episodes
