I'm here for the observation but don't do my girl dirty like that. She's been through enough.

Dunno but commenter above you probably means the fact her image was used for rabid feminists for hella long time, mostly in memes but not only.

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And if you watch the original video she isn't rabid at all. They just took some unfortunate stills

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Story of 90% of internet memes, ain't it xD

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

This and all of the above, exactly. She did nothing wrong but some frustrated idiot managed to find one frame, and from then on that frame was plastered all over the internet to mean "insane triggered feminist" or whatever. I'm sure this person is sick and tired of seeing her face be used for "triggered feminist", not sure she'd like it to be used for "triggered MAGA" too. I'm sure we can find an actual triggered MAGA since persecution fetish is their favorite thing.

I was blown away went I watched the source material, and kind of pissed it took that long for me to see it.

She was so nice, and these people were having honest discourse.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What does 8647 refer to? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Also not sure about using the picture of the manic looking liberal lady as a template for this. She probably hates Trump as much - if not more - than you. Plus she's had alt-right people posting these unflattering pictures of her online for years.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I did some thinking and I think it is a reference to '86ing' someone which is slang for kicking someone out. I only heard it used in the 2004 Leisure Suit Larry reboot (probably because I have never been kicked out of a bar). 47 is Trump since he is (unfortunately) the 47th president. So basically saying to kick him out.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Thanks for explaining. Using numbers as political messaging is a bit weird. I'd only ever seen alt-right/crazy people do it before with 1488.

Edit: I believe you'd call it a shibboleth

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

1+4=5

2(8-5)=6

Trump will have three terms so 666 mark of the beast.

Trump is the Antichrist!

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

it is a common bit of lexicon in, at least, the US service industry. Places like bars, restaurants, etc. are where you are most likely to hear this used normally.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I was thinking there's nothing particularly bad or menacing about "8647" as it just means getting him out of office.

I suppose spelling it out in shells creates an implication of how he would get removed from office, and could definitely be considered a threat.

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Why maga a her instead of literally any of the magas available?

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

I wish both of these boomers would just fucking die already. And take Nancy Pelosi with you too and Chuck Schumer.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In a just world both would have been executed

[–] Kinperor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Unfathomably based.

Everyone should be outraged that Biden got to live old enough to be a dementia stricken cancer patient. The man is scum of the earth.

Even democrats who support him should be mad: a prostate cancer is TRIVIALLY easy to detect, they must've known about this for years. And yet, they lied to their base to push that Joe Biden should run for presidency again.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 110 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I feel bad for this lady. She was calm and talking in public with two other people and she gets meme'd like she was being unreasonable. She wasn't, but even if she was she wouldn't deserve it.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 1 day ago

She was just mentioning US statistics of women victims of rape, like you said she wasn't doing anything to deserve ridicule and yet became the face of it

[–] Stylofox@lemmy.cafe 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I often think about this when I see people used in meme templates like this. Do they know?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Easy fix.

p1: 8647? HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT UNALIVING THE PRESIDENT! p2: AWESOME! BIDEN‘S GOT CANCER!

@PortoPeople@lemm.ee please edit.

How do we put an end to this ridiculous "unalive" trend? It's oppressive and childish.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Fuck the piss shitting motherfucking, cocksucking cunt that uses the word 'unalive'. Tits!

Not you ThunderWhiskers, you're cool.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 87 points 2 days ago

Kinda already doing it by being on the fediverse since this trend is a direct result of corporate induced censorship aimed at keeping platforms “advertiser friendly”.

I got banned from hexbear for asking the exact same question. Censoring the word doesn't eliminate the concept, or the act.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 56 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I believe it’s mostly to bypass mainstream social media filters. Words like ”killing” tend to be blocked.

While we’re speaking of putting an end to things, it would be nice to put an end of this meme image. She made a slightly funny face for one frame in a video, and now that’s her legacy.

I don't even understand the point. I know americans love to censor stuff, but you just replace killing or death with unalive. Instead of pedophile you say pdf file and so on. Soon you'll be to sensitive to hear ualive, then some influencer make up a new word, until the english language just consists of the 9 least offensive emojis. And all for what? Because parents who are scared of bad words on the internet. And by bad words i mean words children learn by the age of 6

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Stop YouTube demonitizing content creators for using anything but euphemisms for death, even outside the context of actually telling people to kill others or themselves. It literally started because of YT policies.

I do not shed any tears for the politicians and leaders that croak. Perhaps, I will when for the one who builds a socialized healthcare system for every single legal US resident based on the same healthcare former President Biden is receiving.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'll say it here because it's not ever said.

Republican's cannot appreciate what Americans built because they didn't sacrifice anything to build it.

Democrat's cannot appreciate what Americans built because they believe they were the ones that built it.

Americans can't appreciate what we built because both Republicans and Democrats want us to believe we are powerless.

We need to ignore our government and do what we as Americans believe is the best course of action. A government is empowered by the people for the people. If our government has chosen to ignore the laws we as a country have agreed to abide by, then we have the responsibility to return the courtesy.

I'm not advocating for lawlessness, I'm advocating for Americans to stand up against fascism and tyranny. Tyrannical rule doesn't follow laws but one. Strength over subjects comes to those who wield it.

I refuse to be oppressed and subjugated by a tyrant in orange face paint. I refuse to be subjected to the corruption of this cabinet of thieves.

[–] Typotyper@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Carter was good. Better than most deserved.

Obama tried to get health care. I wish he’d speak out more over the current situation in the US

typical trump, after that fake codolence message, he went on a rant said biden was hiding his cancer diagnosis for months.

Yeah I have been seeing redhats claiming that they definitely knew because his wife is a doctor, and there is no way she could have seen these symptoms and not had him checked out. The problem being, Dr. Jill Biden is a doctorate in education.

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

We may never know. Maybe he learned about it when he decided to drop from the race ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

…written by an intern or a PR specialist.

Donald could NEVER write that, now would he mention Melania
