Poor Data… (ᗒᗩᗕ)

And I would just like to say: yes, if you are offended, your feelings are valid. Whether people respect them or not is a different story. You’re not entitled to respect for your feelings, but on the other hand, you’re also not entitled to be a dick about people’s feelings and claim you’re just being rational and logical.
When you mock people for being offended and emotional, you are also being emotional: you’re feeling very, very smug.
I also find it rather… interesting… that this comic reframes Dr Pulaski as the offended party, rather than Data, as it was in the original. I do sure wonder if there’s anything about Dr Pulaski that a certain segment of the population would identify as emotional and irrational.

well put on all points. Was trying to recall when Pulaski was anything but super-doc professional.
Tis but a meme.

This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it’s “but a post”. Write a book and say it’s “but a book”. Make a film and say “tis but a film”. In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.

and they’ve weaponized memes and ‘jokes’ and ‘it’s just a gag’ to spread fascism and misogyny. so it’s not just a meme or a joke, it’s a subtle attempt to move the window of people accepting those shitty things. they think they’re clever.
- irmoz ( @irmoz@reddthat.com ) 5•1 year ago
Precisely.
The things you mentioned carry significantly more weight.
- irmoz ( @irmoz@reddthat.com ) 11•1 year ago
Honey, posts, books, and films are filled to the brim with memes. They are meme delivery vehicles. They exist only to spread memes.

The irony

Of?
- vivadanang ( @vivadanang@lemm.ee ) 9•1 year ago
tis a poorly crafted shite meme.
Take it up with my dealer
- vivadanang ( @vivadanang@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago

Fair enough.

The other party in the discussion is a robot
- irmoz ( @irmoz@reddthat.com ) 8•1 year ago
He is an android with a positronic network, that has displayed on numerous occasions the capacity to feel. The linked video is one example.

Does OP or general audience of the meme know this?
- irmoz ( @irmoz@reddthat.com ) 7•1 year ago
Do they need to? In the image, he just appears to be a human dressed weirdly.
- RaivoKulli ( @RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz ) English2•1 year ago
If you don’t know any further context you’d think the other person is an unemotional robot, which works for the meme.

In the actual scene they’re coming to an understanding about his name.

Hey I just got a 4 day ban from news at lemmyworld because I said the BT in LGBT meant Bluetooth. Did someone really get offended and think I thought that Bi Sexual and Trans people are actually computer hardware? It was such an obviously dumb joke that being so dumb was the joke.

Moderation on .world is really something else. Not even the most rabid subreddits were that bad.
Stay strong, Data

Data. The name is pronounced Data.
I only see one Datum in the picture

This is slander against Dr. Pulowski
- dingleberry ( @dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de ) 5•1 year ago
That’s a Facebook tier meme. Beyond this it is making up an adversary and belittling them, which is not really a sign of maturity.
