Critique of political subreddits restricting political memes despite their political focus
Overview
A meme that humorously critiques the hypocrisy of political subreddits on Reddit. The top text states, 'The most political subreddits in existence telling people not to post memes about politics:'. Below, the animated character Garfield is depicted with a sarcastic expression (half-lidded eyes, slight smirk) standing next to a sign featuring an image of himself crossed out with a red circle and line. At the bottom, Garfield says, 'Huh. I wonder who that's for.' The meme uses Garfield's iconic lazy and sarcastic demeanor to highlight the irony of political communities restricting political content.
Origin notes
This meme is a user-created remix originating from Reddit, specifically a meme subreddit. It repurposes artwork of Garfield, a well-known comic strip character created by Jim Davis, and edits it by adding text captions and a custom sign (featuring a crossed-out Garfield) to convey its message about political subreddits. The original Garfield artwork is modified to fit the context of critiquing social media community rules.
