Sabre Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thought I posted this before, apparently not. I get jokes, so I'm no stranger to macros, meme, or emoticons. All good esp if on topic. Hell, I even have an in joke in my personal text. More and more, both here and other places, it's used as a debate/counter argument that no one can respond to. A- I think x B- I think y because z A- *posts macro claiming B is "mad" At this point people who support A say how "that was a good one" or "that showed B" despite offering no reason. So, flawed logic, no harm right? No. Using them like this tends to stop all serious discussion cold. I'm begining to think that this might be deliberate. Something like this A- I think x B- I think y because z A- *oh crap, I can't counter z. I'll post a macro that way I will look witty without offering anyone a means to counter* posts macro I must stress I'm not against memes or macros or whatever completely. Just against using them to kill topics you don't like or don't agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I agree with the you on the fact that using them just to stop an argument cold is bad, but I personally can't think of any instances when such a thing happened. Provide an example topic where it did, perhaps? I'm not doubting you, I'd just like to see a concrete example of what you would consider 'bad' use of a macro.

Nova Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Your just a newfag and don't get it. Macros/Memes are ALL INSIDE JOKES. every last one of them. When your talking to someone who uses them. Its blatantly obvious they dont give a flying fuck what you say/have an opinion on because if they did they would respond accordingly. These are used "For the lulz" and used for entertainment to only themselves. You just made like 3 topics in 10 minutes. Stop it. Newfag. â–² â–² â–² Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylum Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Come on, nova. Chill out. No need to get all riled up. Fake edit: Also, only newfags call people newfags. *trollface.jpg* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 OK, that's enough "newfag" name calling. Also, memes aren't against the rules unless the content violates the image policy or is a direct insult. I understand that you don't like them, but there are others that do. If you don't like the meme, just skip over that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
