You know I gave all the reasoning for everything I wrote in the comments, right?

What specifically do you have an issue with? I’ll copy paste it for you since you’re such a sweetie.

Yes, and I really don’t care what you think, bud. People are allowed to enjoy things in different ways.

I post memes for engagement, and specifically to catch the errant cultist that pops up here and there. I live in Texas where they’re pretty big on voter suppression. It takes me between 2~4 hours to vote usually, and I know it doesn’t matter for statewide elections. So I figure I’ll do my part donating and trying to convert a cultist from voting somewhere else where it’ll matter a bit more when I feel up to it.

Your opinion pretty much matters zilch to me. I stopped caring about Fartbox the moment I found out he wasn’t a cultist. I don’t really care about you either.

And that’s okay. You are a cutie pie though. You probably shouldn’t give me so much to work with if you don’t want to give yourself an aneurism. I’m not even being that mean about it. Just… stay away from the IRL comments.

Yes, the world existed before Lemmy was a thing, and I, being a part of that world, also have experiences I can draw from the before-times.

From the long-long-ago. Sit down, young one, let me spin a tale of fire and water for you. Bask in the wisdom of the ancient ones. We have much to share.

You are clearly about… a half to a third of my age.

If you came at me with this kind of energy I’d be doing exactly what I’m doing now. Laughing at you. Doubly so if you came at me with a gaggle of your teenaged to (possibly early 20s?) friends.

I’d walk away because I’m pretty sure my ears would be ringing, thankfully, we are on the internet, and we can discuss things, with words. Wanna give it a shot?

I mean, this isn’t my first rodeo. I actually tried with those first. It doesn’t work. They just pretend there’s nothing wrong with them, and that they’re “modeling photos”.

Yes, I mean, clearly that is something that can only be communicated in person, it’s not like we’re talking right now. Wanna try that whole ‘straightening me out thing’ now? Why does it have to be in real life?

Also… ooh, friends. You have them? I believe you. :D

Airhugs.

You’re so cute. I just wanna squeeze your widdle cheeks.

I’m not voting for Biden either, bud. Good for you.

EDIT: Hey, it’s Fartbox! Huh… this is the comment you chose to come back for? Isn’t that cute. I’m sorry I mistook you for a cultist, bud. To be fair, you did a pretty convincing job of looking like one.

Lol. Oh, now this takes me back.

Thank you, keyboard warrior. I’ve learned the errors of my ways.

I do understand. Please don’t hurt me. I promise I won’t do it again.

Both at once?

You know, that’s actually a great idea. Next time I make one of these, I’ll put a photo of him trying to make out with Ivanka side by sidewith the one of her sitting on his lap when she was like 10 years old. I just popped something out in meme-generator and didn’t really feel like opening up photoshop to do a whole thing.

Oof, I got what I wanted out of this post but you sound genuine, so Imma wade back in for a second here.

Yeah, of course. It could have been worded differently. But I’m not going for accuracy. I’m going for:

Is it short enough to read in a few seconds

Does it elicit a response.

And I already clarified why I chose the specific phrasing and picture. It’s because the only real defense an actual cultist can make is to say it’s not as bad as pedophilia because it’s just garden variety incest.

I’m not ashamed to admit I have an “agenda”.

The right wing in this country weaponized that word to attack everything from school teachers to trans folk. I wanted to pair quotes and imagery that left absolutely no wriggle room to dispute it, and rub their nose in it.

I want the link of Trump=Pedo paired with irrefutable evidence of his sexual degeneracy and this is as close as I can get until Trump admits he is one in National TV. (Rate he is going I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.)

As for my interaction with Mr. Fartbox(?) over here…

Looks like I’m catching some aggro from the folks hung up on accuracy, and I gotta say, being new to the party it’s kind of heartwarming to see you guys all coming together to defend one of your own.

It’s sweet.

That said, I’m going to keep making the style of memes I like, you’re welcome to make your own, and by all means downvote to your heart’s content when the inaccuracy of the word choices bothers you.

I thought the guy was a proper cultist, (he did a convincing job of cosplaying one) hence that specific comment thread where you see me essentially trying to make him say one bad thing about Donald Trump, and failing.

If he wasn’t so stubborn the thread would have been two comments long.

If he’s not, great! That’s one less cultist to convince to sit home or pull for Harris this November. I also wouldn’t have wasted 30 minutes of my time trying to convert one, but I’m just as happy to know he wasn’t one in the first place.
