More seriously though, I'm never happy to see censorship. I don't think what makes TL amazing is its high standards for banning memes. | ||

I don't think what makes TL amazing is its high standards for banning memes. Memes are fine as a single reference. But in the internet, people tend to just spout memes without any substance behind it. Since memes alone are If people were just posting quotes upon quotes of historic books without any of their own thought contributed, that would be cenosred as well(if something like that was happening. It is not happening right now). | ||

Ah the irony. Anyways, removing Kappa and whatnot is fine, but leave hashtags because holy shit you can't actually plan to "censor" THAT much, r-right? Assuming someone doesn't use # next to every word in a post, it still maintains the quality of the original post. "Deal with it" has the exact same meaning as "#dealwithit". | ||

Probably has the same meaning but it just makes you 1000 times more moronic | ||
