fair! i guess i’m just saying, often when i am doing alt text, i feel a pressure from the community to get the name of every character and media reference correct, even if i am not familiar with the referenced media. I’m not sure what the correct way is to indicate that you aren’t trying to be critical, but I’m just putting that out there as a thing to be mindful of.

exactly my point!

i’m fairly sure Lally is sharing and didn’t create the original meme. if it was that critical to the joke, the OP should have added in the caption from that frame of the show. If they did, I’m sure Lally would have included it in the alt text. As it is, a lot of people who see the meme without the aid of alt text might not get that part of the joke, so the alt text is doing a fine job of describing the image as it is.

I try to make my alt text include the source media if i can, but i don’t think it necessarily ruins the joke of the post just bc the alt text doesn’t say, “This is the character Eleanor Shellstrop from the show The Good Place”

i have never pretended to be posting OC. Just posting content that is new to beehaw. Also, likely the first time this comic has had human-generated alt text! I try to be “additive” in that way, at least.

i like that this landed at exactly 69 upvotes. nobody ruin it!

The Thing lives on persimmons, clearly

no clue, i’m just sharing other people’s memes for the most part. Reverse image search?

Edit: nope reverse image search doesn’t do it. You could poke around on artvee? though trying to find a specific piece of art on there is usually a fool’s errand.

Holy mother of God. Mrs. Butcher is a damn Resident Evil miniboss.

Edit: I missed the obvious pull. She’s clearly a relative of The Butcher from Diablo.

pigs can have a little human flesh as a treat. they’ve earned it.

you know now that i think about it, the pig driving the hot-dog car is kinda messed up…

if you came to the comments because you don’t get it: shrimp-fried rice

Oh man, I’ll bet that was a riot.

before you ask: i was trying to spell them phonetically for screen readers. If that goes against accepted standards for alt-text, please let me know!

Eh, it made me laugh 🤷 and it spreads the word about the incoherent stuff coming out of Trump’s mouth, because there’s always an ignorant middle that doesn’t watch debates or read the news.

i think the magic box is poisoning you

okay i have to come back to this one later because it’s longer than i thought, but if you came straight to the comments, know that this post definitely fits the sub

lolol i love meme monday! I see so many memes across the week that make no sense to non-gamers. Long Live Meme Monday!!

I need something to do while I’m avoiding work all day!
