Lolth approves.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lord, I actually googled that to see if it was real. These are the times in which we live.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 32 points 10 months ago (3 children)

And? Don't leave us hanging!

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not real, the original creator of the image took a still of the show and added the closed captioning.

Yeah, see the original was actually an old tucker segment accusing liberals of making spiders less sexy.

My uncle is worried that us vaccinated people are going to spread something to him. Like something about the vaccine makes you dangerous.

I don’t know I don’t even care to be honest.

[–] LemmynySnicket@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The vaccine spreads our liberal spider attraction. It makes spiders look all spider in their spider way. I mean spiders spider so spiders, you spider? Spider spider spider.

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I see your point, but I don’t fully spider where you’re getting your spider spider.

Finally, something the liberals and I can agree on.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just saying: the use of even sexier would imply that spiders are already sexy lol

Come on baby, shake that web weaver!

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Finding spiders sexy: That's fine. Wanting spiders to be more sexy: YOU SLUT

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 20 points 10 months ago

Look, all I'm saying is that if we have to have spiders, why not make them sexy??

Me after searching Angel Dust on R34:

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 10 months ago

Try Rachnera.

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Remember when they were bitching that liberals wanted to make M&M's less sexy?

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago

this screenshot is fake but yes

[–] lemmington_steele@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

well yeah, there's only so much sexy to go around. how else do you propose we save some for spiders?

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I don't think Timberlake is using his anymore, maybe you can pick it up at his garage sale

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Get that "useless nobody" shit outta here.

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, if you don't like that, then the op should post the image and caption without the fan fiction about your uncle too. I'm not sure the meme format is adding anything to the picture and half a meme format isn't adding half as much when it was already adding nothing.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

... if it had a big red circle on Lumpy's dumb face, would you insist that removing it would break the image?

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (18 children)

A meme is greater than the sum of its parts. If we don't like the delivery mechanism the meme provides then I don't see why we would pick and choose parts of the meme. If we remove the hypothetical big red circle, the meme is a different greater whole. Possibly a different flavor of the same meme, but possibly a different meme entirely.

For me personally, the meme seems to be evoking the image of a family Christmas dinner, whose awkward silence is broken by your Uncle. It's an interesting delivery mechanism for the image of Hannity with the caption. As I already said, I'm not sure all of this scene building really does anything to add to an already absurd image. If anything I was inclined to believe that it was purely a parody, instead of a thing he actually said, until I read a comment that explained they googled it and he did actually say it.

I wouldn't say removing the big red circle breaks the image, but I would say that if you're going to the trouble of removing the big red circle why not grab the even larger clown hair why you're at it. edit: typos

edit: Looks like it was a fake according to Reuters.

Hey hey we're the liberals,

And people say we liberal around,

But we're too busy singin' upholding human rights

To put anybody down

🔊 🎸🎵🎶🎼

Yea fuck liberals in the political sense outside of america (since they basicalky use it to say leftist). Liberalism is capitalism. Anarcho communism is where it's at

[–] pastaPersona@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Stupid sexy spiders

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 10 months ago

Would smash Arachne, if she were DTF.

Between myths of Arachne and Medusa, Athena seems to be a bitch and not very wise at all. I suspect there's actually some context going on.

Though in Medusa's case, she was a gorgon before her human origin during the New 52s, and the Gorgoneion that adorns Aegis predates the whole Perseus thing. (Gorgoneions were a ward against evil from times immemorial before the oceans drank Atlantis and Poseidon was the all-father dude).
