Holy cow! This year is really trying to outdo itself every month.
its like an advent calendar but instead of candy its apocalypse
hey remember that post that was popular last year about an idea for a TV show where every apocalypse event was happening at once and cancelling each other out?
why? oh no reason
Not to downplay what’s going on around Chernobyl, but y'all are really gonna just ignore that op’s joke was about homestuck
no it wasnt. if you checked the notes you would see that it WAS about the chernobyl radioactive fires
While I do stand corrected, using a homestuck panel to represent the fires seems like a wildly inappropriate way to get your message across.
One shouldn’t have to check the notes for further information explaining your reference if the message had been clear in the original post. A simple reverse-image search yields that it’s a homestuck panel, you can’t fault people for not immediately connecting it to the Chernobyl fires.
Tbh the issue imo was that not many people know about the fires so like, the abstract gets confusing. But the same could be applied to any of the images if someone somehow didn’t have the background knowledge
It’s okay to miss the mark first time, just please don’t argue ❤️
The difference is that the first three images are well-known memes. Memes by their nature require additional context, but follow set rules to help the reader understand what it’s about.
The fourth image isn’t a meme and isn’t acting as one (through edits or captions) to guide the reader to conclude that it could be referencing anything other than itself. Hence why there are so many notes of people either not understanding it at all or misattributing it to the source material.
i mean the radioactive fires on lowas were enough for people to realize that I was making a reference to the radioactive fires of chernobyl. The homestucks are just reading too deep into it.. Or not reading deep enough?

Oh I thought there would at least be a reference to the chlamydia in the Arctic Ocean
bruh, that wasnt even mainstream media until like 2 days after this post. when this post was made the only disaster in april was the radioactive wildfire. the volcanoes hadnt erupted yet. the earthquakes and storms hadnt kicked off and the chlamydia wasnt a major thing until a day or two after this post
