I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
There was a kid there with a North Korean flag who volunteered the information that he also had a Kekistan flag at home. That was the most exciting moment of the night.

I was promised Zoomers were willing to die for Tik Tok videos.

It was just a meme, who really expected anything other than this? I mean, everyone lowkey hoped a real raid but were aware that it wouldn't happen.
Name a more iconic duo than mainstream media and not understanding the internet culture

I was hoping there'd be 5 or 10 diehard idiots who actually took it seriously and had to get chased down.
