y'know, for a board called "Video Game Memes and Fun Pics" I'm seeing a whole lot of things that are neither "Video Game Memes" nor "Fun Pics", which includes this.
You're right, how could a mocked-up video game cover that makes a joke with a picture of video game characters be in any way related to video games?




Unrelated but also kinda related

It includes video game characters, yes, but it's not exactly a "meme" per se. Humor is subjective and all, but I don't really see the funniness in it.
I put milk in a bowl, but can you really call it cereal if it doesn't have any actual cereal in it?

As above, it's literally a meme. Plenty of other people have found it funny as well. It's ok if you don't, like you said humour is subjective, but you obviously have some kind of feelings about it that are strong enough for you to single it out as "not ok", and maybe you need to analyse why that is, and why it's actually a you problem.

Agree to disagree, I guess. Feels more like "the joke is porn" than an actual meme, but as you and I said, humor is subjective and maybe I just don't get those types of jokes or don't feel as though porn jokes are funny.
Never said anything about it being "not ok" though, just said it didn't fit the board it was on. Thank you for being concerned with my health though, I saw it as not as much of a problem, but as a debate on what truly makes a meme what it is.

Idk where you got "the joke is porn" from, you must have a significantly broader definition of "porn" than I do, broad enough to cover things like a drawing of a fully clothed person.

The actual joke, to the best of my knowledge, is the implication that the titular "awakening" that Link was experiencing was not one relating to the transition between sleep and consciousness, but one relating to self-perceived gender identity.
