Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

Funnier that this has one single downvote from an account that's otherwise never done anything ever. Like. What the fuck do you possibly have a problem with? Are you taking a moral stance against murder?

[–] birdcat@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yea that was me, but I'm hoping more people fail to detect any wholesomeness here.

Firstly, I'm not a fundamentalist who thinks murder is a justified reaction to a divorce.

Maybe the marriage just somehow didn't work out for them, that is sad and often the result of the super complex dynamics between two people, but it happens. Maybe the man was simply living an unhappy life in that marriage; oh, i know! lets fucking murder him, thats gonna be super wholesome! Or maybe your wholesome murdergranny hates him anyway cuz he is black? Yea, that must be it! Probably racist murdergranny always wanted to murder a black man, and now that she is basically dying, she can finally fulfill her wish in a super extremely wholesome way, yay 🥰

I agree, bad vibes.

Kinda weird to use two different accounts to chill in the same comments section, but only downvote it once and respond with the unrelated one. Especially since your account joined later and is visibly MUCH more active than the downvoting account.

Idk, as unhinged as it would be for someone to take another person's credit for being Online, my brain feels strangely like I need some confirmation for that. Go get your other account, or this is going to bother me for like a month.

For everything else, I don't...feel like I'm going to argue whether or not merc'ing someone is wrong. It used to be a last ditch way to deal with abusers when divorce wasn't on the table, I know, so I would only be 20% shocked if she weren't joking.

There are people in my life that are much safer to society now that they're dead, and it's always nice to have someone recognize your feelings even if they're just making the remark, so I don't mind murder granny. It is possible to be both horribly immoral and also considerate.

Thanks for adding some context. To that I can only add that I would not have downvoted or criticized this post in a community for abuse victims. I just think it does not fit into a community dedicated to wholesomeness.

Go get your other account, or this is going to bother me for like a month.

I didn't used any other account.

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like an acceptable moral stance to me

Why would this be wholesome? I've had a psychotic ex and a toxic bf theaten me before (the divorced husband swerved at my car, and a new bf threatened to drop by my house if she continued talking to me). The ex husband also appeared to be tracking his wife at one point when we went hiking, despite their breakup

Why would any one think this is ok behavior, let alone something that is wholesome? In reality, if I saw anyone I knew posting something like this, I'd be posting it to police instantly.

If I was the ex, I'd be worried she'd take things into her own hands eventually, so it's definitely reportable. The fact the obviously crazy ex things it's just fun and games is even worse
