Gay Memes*

[denny]

My social circle, and the wider group of people I am interested in online, is selected at least partially for intelligence, tolerance, and general not-being-a-dick-ness. I don't need to post anything about my attitude to gay rights, or any other number of issues, and not doing so doesn't mean I "don't care" about them - it just means that in the circles I choose to move in, there's no point to be made.

* did you see what I did there? ;)

Update; some of the better variations I've seen:

You beat me to it! I was going to post something similar myself, though as part of a 'proper' post. I still might, of course.

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to post about it, but had every intention of just ignoring it.

Anyone who knows me even vaguely will know what they need to know anyway. Anyone who doesn't know me and judges me by not following some stupid meme like a mindless drone can f*ck right off.

Hmph.

Did I ever mention how much I hate memes? ;)

[deerfold.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It's not so much that there are more "important" issues as it's easier to just be able to take that sort of thing as a given. And then arguing about other things. Of course (and sadly) you need the right readership/social circle to be able to do that.

Yeah I saw what you did there, you said I was intelligent and tolerant!

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Two out of three ain't bad? ;)

[deerfold.livejournal.com]

(that's a Vermicious Knid hiding in that sentence)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Does this mean you lose any time soemone comments on this post. :p

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Well, in this thread, most likely yeah.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Although only if I've forgotten about the last time I lost :)

[uberredfraggle.livejournal.com]

I just told twisted_one about this thread so he lost too. :p

*looks deeply confused*

Due to the aforementioned selection process, most of our social circle has not been posting the 'Re-post this paragraph if you are a TRUE REAL GAY RIGHTS BELIEVER d00d' meme.

http://minigoth.livejournal.com/216279.html is the first example I can find from my friends-of-friends page.

Which bizarrely turns out to have a link back to here!

ERROR: CIRCULAR REFERENCE! OUT OF CHEESE AT LINE 6!!

Gah. This is what happens when I take time out from posting a comment to have a conversation...

[dougs.livejournal.com]

It happens to me all the time. Don't worry about it.

[nmg.livejournal.com]

There's also this one (http://dougs.livejournal.com/602553.html).
