I apologize for the grammatical error. I meant to use this meme as a question. If someone could explain to me what makes a meme political, that would be great.
(Perhaps that should be a period instead of a comma, I never was too good with grammar.)
I was meaning it would be great if someone could explain what makes a meme political. Not what makes a great political meme.
I understand how it sounds confusing and I apologize.

Ahh. If a meme is partisan and divisive it should go in the political stream. Left/right, Democrat/Republican, popular vote/electoral college, Trump/Obama, pro-life/pro-choice Etc etc
If you are trying to trigger the "other side" it goes here.
Someone from the other side will most likely be triggered by some memes I plan to make. But when I say other side, I mean people on the other side of an issue I am talking about. Rather it be specifically about politics or not.
But then, most things triggers at least someone.
And memes about the easily triggered is rather fun.
Imagine a meme with a Sith from Star Wars in the background. Or something similar. And the following words:
"You know you are a true Dark Side disciple when you are working out in a gym and somebody leaves CNN on. And rather than turn it off you leave it on to let the hate to flow through you."
Or something similar. Would that be political or fun? I suppose more than anything it would be cheesy XD But cheese isn't an option.
I wouldn't be mentioning what CNN was saying but I am sure it could be correctly assumed. But Star Wars is fun. But some people may be triggered that I don't like what CNN was saying.
That happened to me a few weeks ago, and I had been reading a book about the Sith. Naturally I thought of the Sith and letting the hate flow as a potential meme.

Dilemmas....judge it like porn... You know when you see it.
Not nothing to get too concerned about
Hahaha!
That is the best comparison I believe could have been used. And as someone who has read around on the NoFap website. I know a little about the difficulties of knowing where to draw the line.
Likewise with swords? When does an arming sword become a bastard sword? When does a bastard become a long sword? When does a long sword become a great sword? And don't even ask the difference between a short sword and a dagger. :D
There are articles filled with info about this.
Unfortunately the mods might disagree with my judgment. What I see as funny they might see as political.
I guess I will have to learn it the tried and true way. Trial and error XD

There are plenty of clearly political memes in the fun section. And vice-versa. I have done it myself a few times. No reprimand
The meme I made today was unfeatured for being "primarily political" and in the fun section. I however thought it was primarily funny.
Perhaps it is a new policy.

Hmm. New one for me. Just resubmit to the stream they claim it goes in then.
