Regarding that trans post, it's not a meme, it is a crap cartoon
True, but if it had been well done it might have made a worthwhile point about whether surgery should be the first resort when people start questioning their gender identity. It still wouldn't have been a meme, but we're a very long way past the point where that was the defining characteristic of image posts in this thread.

I think what is getting lost is that this is meant to be a community. I didn't have any problem with the crying wolf fat rape woman post or the 'le bumsex' one, neither were particularly funny though. What we had was a response where people called them out because it did offend them or they didn't like it- why does that then provoke the reaction to double down and dismiss the offended person's view? When @Fox mentioned how he felt following a couple of posts it made me pause, they didn't bother me but they did bother him, so even if I were inclined to post something similar ( I'm not) I would give it a pass because this is his space too.
Regarding that trans post, it's not a meme, it is a crap cartoon that needs to head straight off to r/boomerhumour or r/oldpeoplefacebook.
I don't think Dov has made many good points in recent contributions on this thread except that it does appear that the forum is now eating itself.
Should have know this would all turn to crap when people started shitting on the moth memes.
