#''what's the diagram'' it's called your own judgement and willingness to engage with a text up to a point #i'm stealing the phrase tactless fetishization from a specific post #but i don't really care i'm just using a dumb meme format to convey a trite 'argument'#dashingposts #ultimately even the best satires can fall victum to ''adding to what it jokes about'' due to an uncritical audience or a change in times #so it's not like much is meant there
