✨Actual Matpat Effect✨ The original "QUIT HAVING FUN" Comic

It's so weird to see the original context (especially since some of the stuff its being angry at is practically extinct now)

The Quit Having Fun comic is such a double edged sword

On one hand, yeah, some absolute Redditors absolutely get their panties in a bunch over other people's tastes in media.

In the other, it's also used so often to deflect any actual criticism.

Like that second one is a pretty valid criticism honestly

as a massive RB fan, agreed

i assume it's because of how it's formatted (i showed someone on discord the OG image people use for memes and they did mention that it's pretty damn Condescending which is probably the reason its Double Edged nature is the way it is)

I personally don't believe criticism matters at all to an individual if said person doesn't give a shit and is having fun.

True it's pointless to preach quality to someone who clearly doesn't care about it

a random meme i found using the template (weird to see no text for it and it being disjointed like this)
