Instead of just taking whatever someone else posted, I spend about 20 seconds to a minute on average to find a better copy using reverse image search or just find the original post. Sometimes it’s a tweet and I just take a new screenshot. Comics are generally really easy to find the original.
You’re godamn right.
It’s the way I like it

I really really really like this image.
Even this meme was stolen.
Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

you can’t steal a meme. Thats what makes it a meme. It goes around as a culutural phenomenon, being riffed on and referenced and turning into a meta thing and then dying.

Tarfingered Cougar. Otherwise known as your mom
You sure you want to use the word “pump” around a guy who would most-likely just reply “I’ll pump your mom”?
A meme’s whole purpose is to propagate.
This is why you make your own memes. Fresh from the farm- I mean image editor, and with far less compression artifacts.
when the meme I stole from Instagram was so good it gets stolen and reposted to the same sub a week later
And the Instagrammer stole it from reddit
I love this community

Stealing memes is as plausible as stealing words
