If you’re considering the use of wojaks or reclamation of the term “soyboy” to be “right-wing propaganda,” please don’t scroll too far down when browsing Hexbear’s collection of emojis. Also, make sure you report the numerous comments that say “based” as well if you’re going by your impeccable logic that we need to avoid “right-wing propaganda.”

The right appropriated “based” from Lil B, probably through /mu/ posters. People were calling him a base head/crack head and he reclaimed the term lol
Okay, but the thing is that using an ironic twist on a wojak meme isn’t enabling a dehumanizing strawman. Do some right-wingers use wojaks in such a way? Undoubtedly, but there is nothing that inherently ties wojaks to such a purpose. If it’s deeply that much of a concern for you, you can see about getting wojaks banned from the site or something, but like I’m saying, your viewpoint is rather niche as there are already tons of wojaks available as emojis. You’re likely not going to get terribly far if you are to go down that route. It’s best to understand that many people on this site will not agree with you so proceed with caution using that information. You yourself might not like using such memes, but you are going to have a very hard time guaranteeing that everyone else will abide by that. It’s very futile.

There’s a major disparity between how much the term “based” is used as a slang term and how much people actually acknowledge Lil B.
I just don’t like using the straw man memes used to more often than not dehumanize us.
