I take comfort in the fact that a huge portion of those are probably trolling. And a mild amount of distress that a small handful aren't.

Ugh, Pony Confessions. I hate those, almost as much as I hate this site.

I'm getting uncomfortable memories of browsing Fandom Secrets.

*discretly deletes his browser history* YEAH HORRIBLE SITE.
Sometimes grievous sacrifices must be made in the name of comedy.

I stopped going there after I got fed up with all the "WE'RE NOT GAY" macros, and the fact that 80% of the pictures from there are basically the same message of "If you don't like this show, you either are trolling or haven't watched it" or "Go watch this show nownownownownownownownownownownow"
That kinda crap gives the fandom a terrible name.

As in, funny incongruities or just pointing them out?
I don't know, every time I go there, I find something that makes go "Why did I even bother?"
Incidentally, that's my reaction to every cheezburger site and their "memes". With the exception of Know Your Meme, because I used to go there before Cheezburger assimilated it.
Memes were funny when they were actually memetic, not forced.

Know your meme is nice for when someone mentions "X blankity blank" and I want to see if it's a meme. Aside from that, it's not that great.

It's not great, but it's good. At least it does its job well, which is archiving memes and their origins, which, admittedly, is a pretty tough idea.
Plus, their original videos are pretty damn good.

Yeah, their Know Your Meme series is surprisingly well done.

The WA goes into Serious Business mode a lot; so people who didn't want to deal with the drama hide out here. Heck, I post there a lot and still come here to avoid the drama.

Well from what I've been told, this thread is sort of sect of people that broke off from that thread because it got a little crazy in there. Or so I hear.
Exactly.

Oh. Drama, I see... well, I don't feel like following two threads at once, and I already come to this section often, so I'm sticking here.
*Arms camp and tent* Yup. Y'all stuck with me now.
