Gay Rights Meme Wank
This little meme is going around Livejournal like chlamydia at the nursing home. And in many places it lands? It brings on the wank. Why? The way that it's worded really attempts to guilt trip anyone who reads it into reposting, because obviously if you don't repost a meme, it means zomg u h8 teh homoz.
A little mousie reported on wank_report aboutjtothecapitalc blowing a gasket over this, calling many users on his friends list "meme sheep". I, for one, am much amused by his own meme example, using livestock rape - because isn't that where milk comes from? Comments get a bit messy from splooge.
I thus took it upon myself to do some grueling research, which involved putting the phrase “gay rights meme livejournal” into Google’s search engine and laboriously clicking on results.
Among the first results we have:
Those are all just from the first two pages of results (though, granted, not every result was actually pertinent to the meme at hand). None of the specific entries are really wanky in and of themselves, but if you look at the whole picture, it's pretty fap-a-licious. And I’m sure anyone here with an elljay has either seen this meme or someone rant about it on their flist. Is it not ridiculous?
Any time I found that someone actually did post the meme, it was very boring because no one commented to the entries because we all know that memes are boring and not really worth commenting on.
If the person (or people) who originated the meme wanted it to spark discussion, well, they done did it. Yet I don’t think this is the case - I think those few sentences were intended to guilt as many people into reposting the meme as possible, so someone somewhere could feel just a little bit livejournal famous.
Meanwhile, I'm so so sad that the meme I started doesn't seem to have caught on. :((((
ETA: Metafandom also links us to this, and this. Memes are serious business, you guys.
Son of ETA: The meme might try to take over LJ, buthonorh provides us with evidence that more people are fighting back against the meme's tryannical oppression! Everyone knows that memes are tools of the patriarchy, and that they make offensive jokes at the expense of the mentally disabled.
Pee ess:honorh is not making fun of her friends. I, however, am. But all in good fun, you see. Because a meme ate my baby.
Gay Rights
"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" - Ernest Gaines
We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on LiveJournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

Among the first results we have:
- Tl;dr dissention.
- "I agree with it, but I don’t like the wording."
- This is a rather long entry, only the bottom of which is relevant. I do believe I saw a well-turned phrase of this one turn up on metaquotes, recently.
- Someone linking to one of her own older lj posts, where she gives us her thoughts on
yaoigay rights.
