Entry 5 : Meme Carefully (Assumptions)

Topic : Malaysians are so uncreative that they cannot even make ‘dank’ memes. Argue for or against the statement.

While producing a "dank meme" or meme, what are the consideration before publishing it out?
My assumptions are :-
- Avoid jokes or humor that may be offensive to some people such as :-
    -Racism
    -Political issues
    -etc

- Some may get the joke and some don't such as "inside jokes" or reference-based jokes

- It have to be something that worth humor for. Which is like a catchy song.

All this assumptions, the most vital is the "sensitive issue".

My assumption show that it might be the limitation of making a "dank" meme. The last entry which I go through some of the "dank" memes, it seems to have some joke that are quite offensive to some individuals but it is what makes it "dank". Due to it's hurtful humor, somehow audiences seems to be interested in stereotyping one culture. Example stereotypes are :-

  - Americans have no gun control which causes "happy trigger" among citizens, which means                 shooting without a good reason
  - Malaysian lost airplane, MH370
  - and etc
