    My guy, ‘the generic line adds much less than the specific one’ is not some kind of contradiction.

    And that generic line gets slapped on anything, as if it’s just… how images do. It’s objectionable specifically because it’s essentially useless.Unlike the other line, which would simply not make sense in most other contexts.

    This is not worth the wall of text. It’s really not complicated.

      My guy, ‘the generic line adds much less than the specific one’ is not some kind of contradiction.

      How much it’s adding is really a subjective judgment and not relevant to the discussion. The fact is both lines add something in terms of context. However this context has no value for the purpose of delivering content.

      Unlike the other line, which would simply not make sense in most other contexts.

      Right, the line is more specific. Why is it worth appending a specific line of text before content? Isn’t that also just a case of ‘how images do’?

      This is not worth the wall of text. It’s really not complicated.

      Right so let’s remove all of the text before the content. I’m glad we agree. This is not some gacha argument. I am legitimately saying we do not need this meme as a delivery mechanism for content. Just the image on its own is sufficient. edit: typo
