In this case the backlash is from the gay community to a (stupid) member of the gay community, so saying it’s a leopards-eating-faces party (lefp) member getting their face eaten would mean the gay community is the lefp right? I don’t think that’s what the lefp meme is about
This person supports policies that hurt themselves and their peers. Now their peers are angry with them for supporting things that hurt them. They are being hurt by the result of what they support.
That’s not leopards eating faces though. That’s a guy voting for the leopards-eating-faces party and getting his shit rocked by his fellow citizens for endangering them.
Yeah, but in this case it’s not the leopards eating their face (yet). They’ve voted for the leopards, people are angry at them for it, but so far the leopards have only eaten other peoples faces
Eh, then you could say voting progressive and getting attacked by your conservative community would count as leopards eating face, since you’re getting hurt by the result of what you support.
The meme is about voting for the harm and being directly harmed by the policy voted for, like if someone voted to ban abortions and then couldn’t get one when they needed it. Voting to ban abortions and then getting backlash from your friends is not leopards eating face (yet) either
This guy is voting not only to have his own face eaten, but everyone else’s within his community. I wouldn’t want to acquaint myself with someone like that either.
I’m not saying the guy did a good thing. In this article he voted for the leopard party, but hasn’t had his face eaten yet. He voted for the leopard party and everyone was fucking pissed at him for it
idk I thought the leopards eating faces party meme was mainly for examples of them both voting for leopards and getting their face eaten.
It’s a little more nuanced than that. The typical face eating leopards voter doesn’t have enough critical thinking to figure out they’ll get eaten eventually. Everyone else around him knows they’re gourmet leopard food and it’s only a matter of time before they’d get eaten. I wouldn’t wait to hold my judgment on the guy until after the inevitable happens because of his dumb-ass decision.
How is this an example of leopards eating faces?

You’re right, but people aren’t listening to what your point is. Come on lemmy, you’re better than this
🤷😮💨
No you and that commenter are literally wrong lmfao what do you even mean.
The meme derives humor from the fact that someone who voted for leopards was surprised when leopards hurt them.
The gays in the article supported bigots and was surprised when the bigots started to hurt them.
The article’s ambiguous, but I read it as the LGBT community (rightfully) showering them with sand, not bigots doing it to be dicks.
That would fit with the rest of the article, which includes the fellow who got blacklisted from his local gay bar for being MAGA.
Hey hey now I’m just here to argue, not read articles
It’s the dumbest possible thing to argue about, and the Internet is 86% people finding dumb things to argue about
I don’t take kindly to your tone! There are a thousand other ways you could have said this. Let’s fight about it!
Oh, yeah! Also, your mom is fat and you over feed your pets, I’m assuming.
Your lover made a minor faux pas? They’re a sociopath and they never loved you.
I bite my thumb at thee
Ha, that’s my favorite part of that play.
“Is the law of our side if I say aye?”
“No.”
Just plain “no”. Gets me every time.

A little bit of column A, a lotta bit of column B.

I see, so the meme is also used in cases where they voted for the leopards but haven’t had their face eaten yet?
