I don't understand the "it's just a meme" logic. I've seen it used a few times to excuse whatever the meme says.

Imagine if the meme was "Stop signs don't make sense, I've got places to be, vroom vroom"

That's stupid and dangerous advice. This meme isn't dangerous, but it is stupid.

Obviously if there was a "Sarcasm rabbit" type meme, now it makes sense. I've never seen this meme image before, maybe that's what it's going for, but for now it's going to get shit on.

"It's just a meme" is the same as "it's a joke. Stop taking it seriously, dumbass." Nobody is excusing what the meme says as actual advice. They're telling people to stop taking it as advice, because it's a joke.
