    I think you’re reading a lot of malice into a light-hearted image macro. Hell, I’ve been playing video games for over 40 years and I still have trouble remembering the buttons when playing a game with an Xbox controller layout - this would be really useful for me, and I certainly wouldn’t be upset if someone posted a picture of me using it.

    EDIT: I didn’t even notice this was literally in Wholesome Memes.

      Me, as the wife, would be distracted with this huge piece of paper under the screen. I’d be looking at the piece of paper instead of the screen. It looks a lot like cruelty. I mean, this meme is just all kinds of wrong. It doesn’t deserve to be a meme. It’s a “my wife” meme, which shouldn’t be in the year 2024. In the year 2024, wives should be posting “my husband” memes and making fun of husbands. You don’t get that. Because as a child you were boring, because you had no imagination. I tell this starkly dooming fact to a lot of people on lemmy. But it seems like this is what I must face now as a lemmy user. I need to communicate with adults who were boring children with no imagination.

          I’m totally being serious and not trolling. I don’t get this whole “the wife” stuff. Where’s the “the husband” stuff. Where’s the memes about “put a diagram up for the husband for X?” memes? Obviously, Lemmy is husband-dominated, not much coming from the wives. And where are the wives teaching their husbands about gaming? My mom was a huge gamer. If she weren’t dead, she could have made up a meme about teaching my dad about gaming. My dad was a huge gaming idiot. Stop being such I don’t know… unimaginative. I just really wish I could reply with a meme about adults who were children lacking in imagination. I mean really, don’t you even have an imagination now? Probably not. Which means, the inevitable thing I might say about your intelligence…
