I can think for myself, however, I would like to have some form of source to verify my own opinions and see if I was right or wrong

u/neon1415official 4d ago
I think there's no right or wrong answers, just our opinions as a community to decide if a post should stay or not (for example, this post itself very likely fits into no one's definition of an antimeme but people still decide to keep it)

u/Coolerdah 3d ago
...but I can't choose what others think. So if the majority thinks differently than me, then something i perceive as antimeme is removed, and is officially no longer antimeme, so we are back at square one. So what was the point of going case by case, if the answer to EVERY case is "doesn't matter what it is, majority rules"?

u/InternationalFig2438 4d ago
Here's my thoughts.
- Yes
- Yes
- No. There's no place for a punchline to potentially go, so even if you tried to make that a meme you couldn't. If there's no potential to become a meme, it's not an antimeme.
- I'm undecided and can be convinced either way.
- Yes. I feel like using meme formats in a way they obviously weren't intended to be used makes it an antimeme.
- Yes.
- Yes. 8 and 9. Yes but it's SO lazy it shouldn't be allowed to be posted.
With that being said, thanks riobux for being the goat fr. I hope that apprenticeship treats you well.

u/Kapitine_Haak 4d ago
I agree with you. Personally I lean towards not an antimeme for 4, as there is a punchline in my opinion: you would expect "mine" to be used as a possessive pronoun but it's used as a verb, which changes the whole meaning
7
u/MisterSplu 3d ago
It is strictly speaking a pun, which makes it a deliberate joke, so it shouldnāt be considered an antimeme in my opinion

(Tom) 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 should be allowed
Quality vote should stay
(Sam) 1 shouldn't be allowed
For (Sam) 2, I feel like reposts of the top ten posts or posts from the past week shouldn't be allowed
(Sam) 3 could be allowed depending on (Sam) 2
(Sam) 4 would be hard to verify depending on the popularity of it outside of subreddit. I personally have a few antimemes that I would love to post but I didn't make them, so I'd say (Sam) 4 should be allowed
(Sam) 5 should be allowed
I hope school and work and life overall goes well, and I can't wait for that website :D

u/deIuxx_ 4d ago
I don't think 4 should be allowed because it has a punchline

u/slimeeyboiii 4d ago
This is just the philosophical debate of what the difference is between something being ironic and having a punchline.
1
u/PhilospohicalZ0mb1e 1d ago
Itās cut and dry. A pun is a joke formed by the deliberate misapplication of a word with multiple meanings. Thereās nothing inherently ironic about that, though something can be ironic and still a pun.

u/CR1MS4NE 4d ago
Scenario 1 is an antimeme
Scenario 2 is an antimeme
Scenario 3 is not an antimeme - antimemes require a joke setup without a punchline. This is neither
Scenario 4 is not an antimeme, itās just a pun. Puns are almost never antimemes because the punchline is usually intrinsic to the pun
Scenario 5 can sometimes be an antimeme but the example given is more of a bonehurtingjuice (though there is some overlap)
Scenario 6 is an antimeme
Scenario 7 is usually an antimeme but may also be a BHJ
Scenario 8 is not an antimeme as there is no joke setup. See scenario 3
Scenario 9 is not an antimeme, see scenarios 3 and 8

u/Kitsunin 4d ago
1 yes
2 yes
3 no, it's not a meme in any sense so it can't be an antimeme. Although if it's surprising because you are expecting a reaction meme style caption from the image, then yes it is an antimeme.
4 no, puns subvert your expectations. Antimemes are antijokes, they can only subvert your expectations by surprising you with no subversion at all
5 yes
6 Maybe? I guess it is surprisingly normal which is kind of antijoke-y, but isn't this just a boring reaction meme rather than an antimeme?
7 yes
8 & 9 are these memes? I feel like no so they can't be antimemes, but I also think these are usually lame enough not to get updoots unless they are clever somehow, so they're fine.

4: No.
5: Debatable, but yes in my opinion.
6: Yes.
7: Yes.
8: No.
9: Technically yes, but we shouldn't let this go out of hand with people reposting this everywhere. The joke is ony funny a single time.
1: No.
2: Hell no, these posts are incredibly annoying.
3: Case-by-case basis.

Maybe you can see in r/antimemes what is better an antimeme, and take a break, you've done a lot with the reaction images

u/Arkuzian 4d ago
- Anti-meme
- Feels like a meme but i would argue it's just a joke so i guess anti-meme maybe? Undecided
- A bit meta, this could go either way because stuff like this is context based. In a bubble it's neither a meme nor anti-meme.
- If we go by anti-meme being memes without a punchline then this is not an anti-meme
- Same as 5
Anti-meme
Again, is meta-meme an anti-meme? I'm leaning on anti-meme on this one but not sure.
Anti-meme
I would argue not Anti-meme just because it just not anti anything, it's like me posting a photo of my cat and calling it anti-meme. Don't think that's what people came to this subreddit for.
I think what should be posted on this subreddit is existing memes (sharing ortho ofc) and make that an anti-meme otherwise we end up like r/bonehurtingjuice and r/SpeedOfLobsters arguing over semantics of what where it actually belongs instead of having fun.

1 is, based on the description, an antimeme, but the example isn't. The biggest reason is the word "steal". The second biggest reason is the focusing on the juxtaposition. I feel it can be fixed by rewording it to "The sun shining upon you allows you to use its heat, turn it into electricity, and then use it to cool your room".
2 is "technically" an antimeme, but I generally dislike these antimemes. Not saying they can't be good, but that most low-effort antimemes fall into one of a few categories, one of which being 2. I think it feels better if it appears like there should be a link. For instance, "Atomic physicists when an atomic bomb..."
3 is also technically an antimeme, but kinda gets old fast especially when there isn't an original meme it's riffing off of.
4 is, again, based on the description, possibly an antimeme, but the example isn't. "I'm gonna make you mine" is a common enough phrase that most people will think of the non-literal meaning. The first picture seeming like a proposal doesn't help things. The woman looking confused/angry further doesn't help things. If the images made it obvious that he was meaning it literally, it would be an antimeme.
5... idk.
6 is an antimeme.
7 is an antimeme, but it fits better as bonehurtingjuice.
8 feels like bonehurtingjuice but idk. I feel like most low-effort memes fall into either 2 or 8. Can be good but probably won't be.
9... idk.

u/r3dh4ck3r 4d ago
I agree with what many others are saying about the scenarios
Since less people are talking about the Should it Stays I can throw my 2c in
1 shouldn't stay, 2 should have its own day or smth, 3 is alright, 4 is fine, 5 only belongs as comment replies

u/VoidExileR 4d ago
1 is an anti meme if there is an original with a funny twist that was removed on the anti meme. 2 seem to rely more on expectation than an original. It ends up funny because of absurdism. 3 is not an anti meme and belongs in notinteresting, which paradoxially makes it funny there because of low expectations and randomness. 4 appears to quite literally be a meme. It doesn't pass even if the original is different or unfunny. If the original is unfunny, then this one has been memefied. 5 is also a meme under the same logic. 6 I think this one is an anti meme because it's not funny but follows a meme pattern. It works as a comment because it doesn't steal the spotlight from the op. 7 is a meme unless the original is vastly different. I can't see the original in that example being funny, more disturbing. 8 is not an anti meme. It is a template. It only works as an anti meme if there is sufficient context before posting and only works as a response. 9 follows the same pattern and is not an anti meme unless context and reaction... but I would argue there is nothing that can justify it as a reaction, so straight in the paper shredder it goes.
1 I don't know what's exclusive about Sunday. 2 destroy it. 3 should definitely stay. That one is also a classic anti meme. 4 depends if the rules allow unoriginal posts to stay. If it does, then it can. I say it can. 5 confused. Need example.
I believe there are some inconsistencies. Highly opinionated and all that, but I tried.

u/Dreamergal9 3d ago
I donāt think 4 is an antimeme, itās a meme that has not yet been antimemed imo. Whether or not 3 is an antimeme, I donāt think we should allow it as that would lead to many boring, low effort posts. We definitely shouldnāt allow number 9 either.

Recently, over 80% of posts seem to belong in the 1. category. While you can argue that these are Antimemes, they are just not funny, at least to me. And since this is still a Sub supposed to create funny memes, i feel like posting things which somewhat fulfill the criteria but aren't funny defeat the purpose of this Sub. I also have the impression that this Sub was created to create new and surpsing content based on well known memes, which is not the case with these, "i post an image and describe the obvious" kind of posts. Hence i would also request that new posts should be somewhat original

I think 1 and 7 are. 5 is a grey area. Imo the pictured post is not an antimeme, but antimemes can be funny. So maybe a different post along the āscenario 5ā vein would be?
Iām ambivalent on 6. I probably wouldnāt vote it off though.
