Stuff like memes from people you think are wrong politically, cartoons you don’t find funny, etc etc. Why help the things you hate spread?

    They don’t want people to hate on them, they want people to laugh at them. Those subs are for calling out the stupidity of shit other people say-

      Well, laughing at something in the way you described is kind of just a different way of hating on it, is it not? Even the way you phrased, “…calling out the stupidity of shit other people say,” suggests a strong dislike of the statements showcased on those subs.

        To chime in, there’s many things I think are stupid without hating them. But then again; I’m an adult and can differentiate between the two.

        For instance:

        Anime. I think it’s dumb. But I have no hate for it whatsoever. Hate is an emotion. I don’t reserve emotional states for things I think are dumb.
