Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.

Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Ableist.
Eade the Nazi is probably correct.
Who honestly take their 1st date at a trauma room‽
My first day activities are normal things like libraries, canteens, playgrounds, theatres, parks, etc.. Escape room tests like these feel like 2nd base friends kinda materials.
Which is apt. They are looking for someone able to do the escape room.
on a first date‽
First date in a library? Nice place to get to know each other is a place where you have to be quiet?
Modern libraries have study booths you can hangout with others and be a tad loud as they have soundproof tech. As a bookworm myself, I want to learn what a partner likes to read, share our discoveries together, our musings, etc..
We can also sign for when we need to be inaudible.
So now your gatekeeping dating preferences? It's a really weird you've chosen to die on here.
what‽ How in blazes is belittling people and vanguarding related‽
You're the one choosing to view it as belittling, that's your problem. It's an original, and perfectly valid dating option, it gives you a fun story to tell people, you get to know how each other think, and you have an objective which removes some social awkwardness if you don't know what to talk about.
You should also probably not using terabang at the end of every sentence, I know that you're really proud that you figured out how to type it, but you're overdoing it.
Did we read the same tweets? ShesLaurenK is “gatekeeping” his dating pool by calling his first dates “idiots” and being unable to handle the pressure of being isolated with someone as digressive victimizer as himself.
Eade at the least did some investigation to check if the tweet had any validity, to find out he’s been reverse his narrative, belittling the dates & the escape room staff.
Also, read my bio once again, since it seems a grammarist has a preference on how I choose to express my shock reading non sequiturs in the 21c.
You think "ShesLaurenK" with the woman in the profile pic is probably a guy rather than a woman named Lauren K? I'm curious as to why tbh.
Does it really matter, when you see others as inferior to you? Surely the next date appreciates being belittled next time they go to an escape room.
I'm just curious how you saw that name (and I know you did, because it was typed by you in the comment I replied to) and thought "Yup, 'She's Lauren K," that's definitely a male, gotta use his correct pronouns." Not exactly the logical conclusion to make there.
Read Eade’s pronouns.
This is really getting ridiculous. Last time i had someone tell me i am ableist after using ADD in a hypothetical scenario because the specific traits and challenges of ADD fit the situation too good to not use the term (and i used it because i seem to fulfill 9/9 medical criteria for ADD and it was simply the first thing i thought of because of my own experience with the symptoms)
You liked being called an idiot?
What do you think the purpose of insults is?
Insults have many uses. I am not sure insulting your first dates is an appropriate course of action, since ShesLaurenK hasn't gotten his accepting-of-belittlement partner yet.
I call myself idiot sometimes
Okay but I’m going to draw a line at actual slurs.
Are we allowed to do the hand motion still?
I mean, I guess. trump did it when making fun of a reporter and he is the president again so fuck me.
That's a personal choice.
The handicapped still haven't reclaimed that term for you to belittle others with that term, or that of ShesLaurenK.
Why do people like you not see a problem with acting like you get to speak for all handicapped people?
Do too even a have a handicap?
Does it make you feel powerful when you claim protector status for people who didn't ask for your help?
When you're more concerned about your ability to belittle others than actually enabling others, that you have to use authoritarian rhetorics on someone that has a DNI on their bio.
Stop speaking for me.
You don't know me. You don't know my family. You are meaningless to me and mine.
We have genetic retardation in our genes (I won't tell you what it is because it doesn't matter).
It affects a few people rather extensively, we joke about how those of us who seem "normal" are still retarded.
That's reality.
You don't like that? Too fucking bad.
So it's “normal” for you to belittle others with your conditions?
Sadly most people are fine with 'soft' ableism, and don't want to make the effort to change and get annoyed when it's called out.
Some good sources for people wanting to use more accepting language:
