Please, stop posting memes to Instagram. If anything doesn't need a filter to make it look like SHIT, it's a picture with BIG WHITE TEXT.

PJ Edit- Sorry dude. I've known you around here for a long time, and I know you're a cool dude. Just... yeah. Be careful about how others might perceive what you say. The only things that truly matter when it comes to Oppositelock is that NSFW stays after the jump and that it's a welcoming place for everyone. All I did was change the title.

TS Too Late Edit- Sorry guys, bad joke got taken out of context. Won't happen again. Although in my defense, one of the black gentlemen I work with thought it was funny, and was wondering the same thing.

Takuro, do me a favor and edit your post. I know that you don't necessarily mean to be an asshole here, but anything that can even be remotely perceived as racism is simply not a good idea, and absolutely not something we want to have on Oppositelock.

If you need me to, I can edit it. But I don't want to cross the line of getting into anything remotely racist around here.

What do you mean by black exactly? I think you meant orange people.

I don't think orange people know what an instagram is, and how you fit one through the series of tubes.

Hey.

I can't speak for all of us, but I can speak for myself.

Even if this is supposed to be satire of stereotypes on a digital medium or of the ridiculous racial vein that somehow sprung from an innocent theme, this is in poor taste. Not including the title, this would have been pretty funny. All people are guilty of poor Instagramming, so adding in the racism just reflects on you and this community.

I'm new here, still trying to figure out the dynamics of the Kinja but this makes me curious.
How often does the Ban Hammer get dropped on Oppo?

Rule number one about the Banhammer to Banadu: never, ever talk about the Banhammer to Banadu.

Long story: It's incredibly rare; that I know of, it hasn't happened a whole lot here in Oppositelock. In the off event that there is a need for it, someone for Gawker Tech will step in and handle it.

Sorry, pasted that post and yeah, it looks worse than it sounded in my head. Sorry about that. Thanks for the edit. Next time I'll just stick with "whats with certain people instagramming memes?"

Sorry. It looks (or looked) worse than it was supposed to. Just trying to be a little extra snarky on White Car Tuesday.

I'm glad SOMEONE got it.

Um, did you?

Understood. I've had it too many times, also, when the joke goes where I did *not* want it to go.
