dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

what i like about olympics is that every time there's something even slightly controversial people have to mention Michael Phelps. let the dude be the goat of swimming in peace.

I don't think this is necessarily antagonistic to Phelps but more exactly literally what they wrote, the western double standard which is realy just good old racism. Asians are only meant to win at badminton or table tennis or some other stereotype shit.
