Imgur is no longer an accepting community, but a haven for rude and insensitive people looking to tear down whatever it is you believe in. For example, on January 22nd, 2021, /u/Zaniak88 made a post titled, 'I diagnose you with gay' to /r/dankmemes 10 using the penguin images, garnering over 46,800 upvotes in 22 days (shown below, left).
#Why are you gay meme imgur full
If you join imgur I suggest staying off the front page as it is full of anger, hatred and vitriol, if you disagree with someone they will make sure others attack you for what you believe in. In late January 2021, the image macro saw an increase in use on Reddit as multiple variations gained high upvote counts. These days imgur is strictly about politics and making sure you’re on their side and you agree with their policies more so than about connecting people and sharing content. The community has essentially destroyed what imgur once was. Eventually though, it strayed away from being an exciting, open and accepting community to one of a single purpose, “you’re either with us or against us, you either agree with us, or we’re going to erase you from the platform.” I’m not talking about the developers and creators, I’m talking about the community. The point based system was addicting and trying to share new and funny things to connect with the community was exciting. Imgur was in its prime, constant newly shared content, memes, etc. Sometimes when youre in a full screen video youve tapped into. I joined imgur in 2014 after a year or so of lurking. bloggers, meme-makers, and fandoms mingle alongside video streamers, support groups. Let’s just start off by saying it’s no longer what it used to be. Cause you have to be very arrogant or completely disturbed to think that no one should disagree with you on everything you think or believe. The whole traffic in the app feels like bots who trying to persuade the political or religious belief and the feeling i get it’s all fake and computer generated posts in the front page and all the comments upvotes are given by bots if you agree with the message the post wants to promote and downvote if try to discuss or start to question it and make it look like you are against it. And this what is been lacking and been replaced by the boring political stuff. What people wants sometimes is see fun memes, Gifs, pictures or videos. you guys need to understand people watch social media to try scape the daily routine and the problems this world has, just to come here and get more constipated with more political stuff, wars and other problems around the world. And I get it but it’s nothing but thoughts and prayers intentions. This all started with the trump and i get it the guy is an ahole and now it’s the russian vs ukraine war propaganda post. This social media platform was my favorite by far but the only post I see lately are political post that I don’t give a crap about it.
