Every meme we can reclaim from the right is a meme they can't use to dogwhistle. A dogwhistle only works if it is uncommon enough, not part of broader culture. So I think it is part of our duty to take every redeemable part of their online culture and make it our own. Additional points for spiting them.
This. Everything we take away from them, or disarm, is worth the effort. It takes the right 100 efforts for one actual meme content they produce. It is good and proper to snatch that away from them. They deserve nothing.
They can keep that 'fren' shit. Babytalk bullshit and they are welcome to it.
I understand that logic but I disagree. Letting a fashy meme spread just normalizes the underlying ideology. The fact that everyone is unironically posting a Nazi's Aryan caricature to say their point is good sucks ass. Yeah the right can't use it to dog whistle but they don't need to dog whistle when everyone is now already associating that image with what they wanted people to associate it with.
