Favourite and Hated Trump-Era Atlas Memes

[Torrain]

Favourite: using "discuss with maps" for something that categorically cannot be discussed with maps.

Least Favourite: A couple of years back, Singletxguyforfun (for newer posters, think a less subtle, more aggressive SirWoodsbury) posted a picture of his bare chest, flexing his biceps, in an attempt to assert his masculinity. Several forum institutions poked fun at his physique, and for a week or two the photo was in signatures and posts all over the site. It just felt super uncomfortable.

Favourite: "Do you condemn the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem?"

[Sir Mohamed]

Does "Dems in disarray" count?

If not, "rain in NoVa" is pretty funny.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Least favorite - if it counts - goes to the users from the left who cosplayed as Trumpists in 2015-2016 because they found it hilarious, and did so pretty much until Election Day. It wasn't funny then, and with the exception of their apparent horror at Trump's surprise victory (which I may be misremembering), it also wasn't funny in retrospect.

Lief was a big time ironic Trump supporter in 2016.

What? That's one of my fondest memories of this site. I reposted the photo of Singletxguyforfun and in response he personally threatened to "put [me] in the hospital". Naturally, I reported the PM and that became the first ever PM to be infracted on this site. He was permabanned shortly afterwards. I got one infraction for reposting his pic as a meme. Totally hilarious and worth it.

What exactly is the context of him posting the aforementioned pic? I don’t why anyone would think that would be a good idea.

He basically went into internet tough guy mode, and when asked for proof of his superior physique he provided it. In essence: people weren't as impressed as he apparently was. So that became a running joke and every time he posted edgy sh!t or borderline threats to a poster, someone would post the pic.

In short, he was an angry dumbass who eventually got himself banned when his threats became more serious.

Wait, that photo basically led to his banning? Maybe I was wrong, and it all served a purpose after all. The forum was a far more cordial place after we lost him.

In fairness, most of the memeing was at least a little funny.

I just felt kinda sh***y about it all at the time because I was going through a rough patch on the body image front, (veering into mild eating disorder territory) and would have been mortified if that had happens to me.

Aye, Lief is the one I had in mind the most. If memory serves right, he had the most elaborate of the performances as well, including the aggressive Trumpian tone.

Singletxguyforfun was permabanned for posting porn on the impeachment threads from what I remember.
