dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Oh, I completely agree with all of that. I'm just triggered by Samfans that can only praise Sam by disparaging Frodo. Hate that shit, to be honest.

I love Sam but no one could've done what Frodo did with the Ring, according to Tolkien himself, and no one could've cared for and been totally loyal towards Frodo the way Sam was, but it's a different strength and accomplishment.

I do think the movies made Frodo look a certain way that makes people think he's a useless idiot or something but the books definitely always made me feel like Frodo was an extremely tragic martyr.
