Description

Subjectively best meme gets the votes.

imgflip is normies anyway

111th comment with 11 votes, oh lord I'm on a whole other level.

-->
@Speedrace

Thanks.
I did try to ask Debaticus to do it but he said no even though his vote was for me stated in his reasoning of the vote which was "stepped in shit" that came from my DDO reference of my meme.

-->
@Speedrace

Not a problem. I always copy and paste them in the comment section to make it easier for the voter to change their vote.

-->
@David

Thanks, I copied it before I asked haha, I wouldn't have done that if I'd known you put them in the comments for me :D

-->
@Speedrace

Vote deleted per your PM request!

@Speedrace

I'm deciding on a point by meme basis.
Pro R1
1: Meh, didn't really get it, no point
Con R1
1: I don't get it, no point
Pro R2
1: I don't get it, no point
2: It's alright, a point
3: Hilarious, a point
Con R2
1: It's ok, a point
2: Alright, a point
3: Nice, a point
Pro R3
1: Nice, a point
2: Nice, but you misspelled vegan -_-, a point
3: Awesome, a point
4: Jabbing at theists + not funny, no point >.>
Con R3
1: Not bad, a point
2: Meh, a point
3: Ok, a point
4: I don't get it, no point
Pro R4
1: Not too bad, a point
2: LOL Nice, a point
3: Lol understandable, a point
4: I don't really get it, no point
Con R4
1: I don't really get it + you misspelled "stars," no point
2: Lol nice, a point
3: Not funny -_-, no point
4: Meh, a point
Pro R5
1: It's ok, a point
2: Ehhhhhhh it's ok, a point
3: LOL Me every day, a point
4: Nice lol, a point
5: Lol this was a good one, a point
Con R5
1: LOL Niiiiiiiice dude, a point
2: Meh, it's ok, a point
3: Not bad, a point
4: Nice, a point
5: LOL Nice photoshop on there, dude, a point
So overall, Pro got 14 points and Con got 13. This was super close, but Pro won out. Good job to both!

@Speedrace

Can you change your vote or are you have a problem doing it?

Kind of being pushy since there is 2 hours left and I was doing other things until I realised I had notifications waiting for me to answer to on DDO.

Did you report yourself? Is that how you are trying to remove it?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

It's cool dude, you had some funny ones lol

Close debate.

-->
@Speedrace

Thanks.
Sorry about not really having a criteria in mind but we were really quick about making the debate and most of the time I was helping Wrick-It-Raplh understand what imgflip which I found from a debate with Type1 and Sparrow. We weren't even ready to say how many memes there would be which can be found in the several comments at the start.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Oh welp, but it says "votes" in the description, which implies all categories, but I'll change it since no one else did that lol :)

-->
@Speedrace

I don't know what you mean but Ragnar was countering Debaticus' vote.

"Ragnar gave all categories to you"
What do you mean?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

You didn't say anything when Ragnar gave all categories to you

-->
@Speedrace

Why are you are not voting on only the first criteria?

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Due to the voting competition mostly.

so many votes.

epic.

-->
@PsychometricBrain

Didn't know that. Thanks.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Counter Vote Bomb

@Barney

CVB?

Thanks for the vote.

@PsychometricBrain

>>I liked the implicit reference to the Dunning-Kruger effect

Wasn't really going for that but I understand yes Crowder does think he is more intelligent than he think he is. The change my mind segment is used as a sort of ego boost instead changing his mind. This is what occurs when someone barely starts off at a field and even though he has been doing this for a while it still does seem like he thinks of himself better than he actually is.

>>I don't have any strong opinions on Crowder though.

I do because of his spread of misinformation.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

No worries. I liked the implicit reference to the Dunning-Kruger effect, I don't have any strong opinions on Crowder though.

-->
@PsychometricBrain

At least we agree that Steven Crowder is st*pid.
Sorry about voting against you.

-->
@Speedrace

Bummer, sorry to hear that.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

It doesn’t work on my tablet or laptop

-->
@Speedrace

that sucks, are you on a phone?

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

I’d vote, but the images won’t load for me *cry*

-->
@Debaticus

That stepped in sh*t was my meme. You voted for the wrong person if that was the reason you voted in the way you did.

all these memes suck

-->
@TheRealNihilist

lol, indeed

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Yeah I think that was all you.
The one I did like was the skeleton waiting for someone to publish their arguments.

-->
@Death23

that was mostly me.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Only a few made me laugh. None stood out in terms of being bad. Sometimes the ones talking about debates were a bit cringy. I don't remember whose those were though.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

I never said there was anything bad about opinions.

It depends on the opinion.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Yes, 'Votes should be done from as least opinionated as possible and start by looking at each side fairly. The voters should explain how they voted and why. " is an opinion. This is a good opinion tho because debates should be about debating skills, not just which side you agree with and turning it into DDO. What is so bad about this, or why is this an invalid opinion?

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

but that's your opinion. Can you show why that's objectively true?

-->
@Death23

Do you have any from my side that were trash?
I know you liked the DDO one but what about the others?

-->
@RationalMadman

Yes, that's correct. This was my interpretation of "Subjectively best meme gets the votes."

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Votes should be done from as least opinionated as possible and start by looking at each side fairly. The voters should explain how they voted and why. Debating is different from choosing a candidate for office.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Explain an opinion? Why?

Do we explain political votes?

No

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Voters need to be held accountable for explaining their reasoning and doing it in a manner of the least bias possible.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Votes = opinons

A fair vote is a free vote.

there is no "objective vote"

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Nah, fair voting needs to be necessary, so therefore moderated voting should be. I don't want this cite turned into DDO.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

SUPPORT UNMODERATED VOTING

MORE VOTES = BETTER

Ah, I can't delete it. I'll get someone else to do it.

-->
@RationalMadman
@Death23

Description says "subjectively best meme gets the vote." Death put the meme he thought was best. I will know counter the counter-vote bomb with a counter-counter vote bomb 😂😂

-->
@RationalMadman

Ahh, the old "I know you are but what am I" defense. You do that all the time as does my 6 year old child.

You have proven my point that you have no claims.

As long as this is true, nobody will take your arguments seriously.

Have a good day.

My work here is done.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

As are you.
