Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but images like this where a real event has been photoshopped make me uneasy.  I don’t really want to be laughing at a sufficiently-harmful actual misfortune.  

It’s callous, you know?  Imagine being subject to a beat-down and it becomes a meme for others.  Not like the “WAT” meme, or the rollsafe meme, or something else, but an actual harm.

I know the ‘chans would mock such sentiments in their pointless nihilism, but something tells me that it alienates us from each other, that it doesn’t create a healthier world.

Sometimes I wish there were a database of which of these source images had people that ended up fine, and which of them did not.
