A place for anime memes! Still a WIP
A backup community in the event Reddit goes downhill even further. Join and post on this outpost if you'd like to contribute!
Provisional Rules
- Memes are encouraged to be related to weeb culture and should make an attempt at humor. Humor is subjective, of course, but at least try to make an attempt. Meta references are allowed.
- No politics, karma whoring, advertising/promotion, or keyboard fights. Take your drama elsewhere.
- Include the anime/source name in the title (e.g. [Anime Name] Meme title). There is currently no functionality to flair spoilers, so viewers are to exercise their discretion in opening posts.
- NSFW rule: Mark your post as NSFW if it contains explicit sex or gratuitous nudity. When in doubt, NSFW it for the browsing safety of your fellow users.

"Trap". Some people (wrongly, in my opinion) think it's a slur against transgender people even though it has been used for years for a common anime trope. There was a moment when the moderators of r/animemes decided they'll ban usage of that word because they thought it's a slur. It was a total shitshow and a classic example of idiotic redditry.
Ah right, I forgot that was a thing. Used to frequent r/animemes before but after that unilateral ban and real transgender people talking about how it didn't affect them at all in the sub, they still went ahead with it. r/goodanimemes was the one that came out of this debacle and allowed it.
Where is the trap in this post though?
Did you guys say a heckin' transphobic? That is so unwholesome Keanu Chungus. Permabanned from my sub and muted for 54234324234231531t24 years so you can't ask me about your ban.
