Re: wank containment area

By this point it basically feels like the repetition and repeated joyful bringing up of the CLEXA, FUCKED meme can't be extricated from the absolutely shitty way that the show did the Bury Your Gays trope in practice, when the original thread easily could be. So the more it gets brought up, the less it feels like just a reaction to that anon and more "haha, shit trope was worth it if some fandom wankers were upset." If that makes sense? Especially since some anons over there seem especially insistent on bringing it up after anyone says it makes them uncomfortable.

That's very well said. And yeah, the "I'm going to bring it up BECAUSE it upsets you" reminds me a lot of gender and orientation bullying in my high school. You were expected to laugh along with people mocking you, and if you didn't it made everything worse. Shitposting to infuriate people is unfortunately an FFA Thing, but the Clexa meme has an extra nasty dimension FFA is absolutely unwilling to acknowledge that makes me personally a lot more uncomfortable there.
