    What the hell with that font, my eyes just died.

    Thanks for the post though.

      Impact is the standard meme font, with an outline to ensure readability no matter what its used on. That said, its meant for single line memes, not full manifestos.

        And, sigh, if you didn’t notice, cramped up on a white background, making it unreadable. Which I think is not the goal of this meme.

        What are you trying to convey? The choice is shitty at best.

          Its a meme image and thus using the standard meme font setup. I thought I was fairly clear when I explained that.

          I also stated it was a poor choice even if it was thematically accurate to its usage on a meme, owing to the meme usage of the font normally being a single line.

          If I was unclear in my initial comment, please quote the part of my comment that confused you into thinking I was arguing with you, for my own future reference. Thanks in advance.

            Your whole post could have been condensed to “yes, it is bad”. Instead you started explaining meme fonts which had nothing to do with anything. You even acknowledged it being a poor use if the font for multi line memes, which wasn’t adding anything either.

              Their post wasn’t saying yes, it’s bad, it was explaining that the goal was resembling a meme, and agreeing that that choice impacted readability. Being less than perfectly readable doesn’t make it bad - the joke is just the manifesto resembling a meme, so it’s only got to be readable enough to be recognisable as the manifesto for the joke to work.
