Facebook friends making you facepalm?

Take a screenshot and post it here!

NEW! We've changed the rules about posts! We will be removing Facebook wins, which should be posted to /r/facebookwins. We will also be removing posts about like whores and posts about misused memes.

Rules:

  • Completely black out all personal info. This includes but is not limited to profile pictures (including your own), first and last names, links to other profiles, location data, and anything else that could be personally identifiable.
  • Do not post links to profiles or any other personal info. This will get you banned immediately.
  • No facebook albums with images of the poster.
  • No posts about memes being used incorrectly or like whores.
  • No posts that qualify as /r/facebookwins material.
  • If you break a rule, your post or comment will be removed, and you will be PMed with a warning. After two warnings, your next offense will get you banned.
  • Self posting is turned on for meta discussion only.
  • Example of a perfect post: http://i.imgur.com/MlywX.png

It's generally a good idea to color code different people in the conversation to make the submission flow better!

If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it and consider sending a message to the mods (you can do that here) explaining which post you reported and why.

Abusive and/or malicious content will be removed. A user posting such content may be banned. A banned user may appeal to the moderators; a majority vote of moderators can overturn a ban. The vote is final.

I think it may have been unintentional but I'm getting a racist vibe here...

[–]eamantite 37 points38 points ago

...liiiiil bit.

[–]psychoticapes 32 points33 points ago

It's not exactly subtle.

[–]Trajan98310 0 points1 point ago

How exactly is it racist?

[–]Zachel 10 points11 points ago

The "Bad choice" (as in, the boyfriend that will mistreat you) is represented by black people.

Don't fret about it, Racism gets tossed around so much today, having only 1 black person in a sitcom makes it racist, but having only 1 white person, and suddenly the writers/producers are over-compensating by adding a lot of black people.

You can never win.

[–]Trajan98310 3 points4 points ago

But... I dont get how that's racism...

I got that those guys were to represent the 'bad boy' persona, you know the one that people always bitch about chicks going after? I don't see how just having a picture of black people is considered racist now.

[–]Zachel 1 point2 points ago

Don't complain to me, I don't see it either.

But some people do, some very very sensitive people I will never get.

[–]EdwinMerit 2 points3 points ago

welcome to the club

[–]Trajan98310 0 points1 point ago

I don't know what club, but who am I to have an opinion? Sign me up!

[–]shutta -1 points0 points ago

The /r/ShitRedditSays club and no, if you're a white cis male, you don't have an opinion.

[–]Trajan98310 1 point2 points ago

I don't want to be in that club though. Cancel my application.

[–]THREEinINK 0 points1 point ago

Since when are black thugs represented as 'bad boys?' if I think of someone like that, I think of a heavily tattooed biker in a leather jacket.

[–]Trajan98310 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure there are many different themes for a 'bad boy', be it a biker, a guy portrayed in the picture, and jock or a guido-type. Doesn't matter, it's the same thing.

[–]petro47 1 point2 points ago

its not only that the black guys are represented as the "bad guys" but to have xzibit at the end confirms its slight racial undertone.

[–]Trajan98310 -1 points0 points ago

So having Xzibit in there is the tipping point that makes it racist. You know, I could've sworn that was a meme and the person who made this was just using it for the face, but whatever.

[–]petro47 0 points1 point ago

i knew this would be brought into question, but why not use any other laughing meme? yoa ming or any other meme of a smiling character?

[–]JoeRedtree 0 points1 point ago

if only “successful black man” wasn’t so damned unpopular, this could all have been avoided.

[–]kendrahwithanh 55 points56 points ago

how does his blowout make him not like the dudes in the previous picture?

[–]Mephistopheles_XIII 26 points27 points ago

Glasses

[–]LE_LE_LE_STFU 23 points24 points ago

He's also not a nigger

[–]the-knife 14 points15 points ago

Looks guido-ish. Proceed with caution, ladies.

[–]RockemSockemBrobots 9 points10 points ago

is that what its called? I always just call people with that hair style "paint brushes"

[–]DickyGrayson 14 points15 points ago

Its funny because he is my image of a douche bag guy.

[–]Irishinfernohead 35 points36 points ago

This is the 9/11 of memes.

[–]Zeugirdor994 21 points22 points ago

Literally Hitler

[–]harrythemay[!] -1 points0 points ago

I don't understand this meme (not just this one) at all. What is so hard about just telling people something instead of putting pictures of yourself trying to explain through your 'funny' expressions. I blame that fat bastard with the bear cap.

[–]BoofApoop 8 points9 points ago

That made my innards cringe.

[–]DontBanMeDaddy 7 points8 points ago

Guy in the pictures looks like a fucking wanker

[–]Wolf_Father 4 points5 points ago

this sums up my feeling about this

[–]JusticeIsBlind 4 points5 points ago

Basically. And the article about how nice guys can also be douchebags who expect sex for their friendship. It can be just as bad as being a jerk.

[–]lynnangel 1 point2 points ago

And this

[–]JusticeIsBlind 1 point2 points ago

lol. so true. I always think of this one guy I know that acts just like the worst of the stereotypes of the "nice guy". He got mad at me when I told him this and somehow managed to convince himself that I was the problem and that I was a "manipulative bitch" who was trying to ruin his life. sigh

[–]knot353 2 points3 points ago

I feel like this person is using subliminal messages to get me to like this.

[–]DyingRats 2 points3 points ago

the reason why you can't get a girlfriend is because your hair makes you look like a paintbrush...

[–]austincarnivore 1 point2 points ago

Cheese

[–]NokiaPhone 1 point2 points ago

Why don't we take all the people who misused memes, and push them off a cliff.

[–]JosepKong 1 point2 points ago

That was so bad it gave me cancer.

[–]Wayfarer21 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad he can't get a girlfriend. We don't need that reproducing.

[–]Reisor 1 point2 points ago

So instead of going with gangsters, women should look for romance in guidos?

wat.jpg

[–]solace1234 1 point2 points ago

in the first picture he looks like a douche, but in the 6th picture he looks like a good influence that would be your best friend for life. hmmmmmm...

[–]TheBrockObama 2 points3 points ago

All my rage.

[–]xxfenringxx 2 points3 points ago

You speak the truth my friend.

[–]206munya 3 points4 points ago

Wow this is really racist...

[–]DCooper323 1 point2 points ago

this is the first post i saw on Facebook before reddit...

[–]goaless 1 point2 points ago

...Isn't that racist...

[–]tommy2fingers 0 points1 point ago

TIL Reddit hates Italians.

[–]raggedyamber 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure it's more like Reddit hates the offspring of MTV's Jersey Shore, and the like.

[–]JLetten 0 points1 point ago

This is just bad

[–]alltimeisrelative 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else think he looks like Jesse from PvP?

[–]15rthughes 0 points1 point ago

This isn't even a fucking Facebook screenshot. Show off misused memes at it's subreddit

[–]mmine1 0 points1 point ago

Good god this appeared on my newsfeed.

[–]harpertown[M] 0 points1 point ago

This is not a screenshot from facebook and has been removed.

[–]WalrusRider 0 points1 point ago

I dont know, the dude who made this looks pretty douchey as well. Or maybe it is just his shitty haircut.

[–]NATESOR 0 points1 point ago

racist

[–]SpongederpSquarefap -1 points0 points ago

I saw this earlier. Now I have one less FB friend. Dumb bitch

[–]Old-Hickory -1 points0 points ago

I want to murder who ever made this, and you for making me see it.

[–]NokiaPhone -1 points0 points ago

Facebook in a nutshell

http://i.qkme.me/35xehx.jpg

[–]petro47 -1 points0 points ago

the guy in the "instead of guys like this" looks like a doucher too.

plus thats racist.

[–]shroomtat -1 points0 points ago

THis dude is racist

[–]BarackSays -1 points0 points ago

I love how subtly racist this is.

[–]Martholomule -1 points0 points ago

ITT: People that don't grasp racism

[–]frenchypadenchy -1 points0 points ago

oh raciest nerdy white boy, how you make me chuckle

[–]xAbaddon -4 points-3 points ago

I don't think it's intentionally racist, nor do I find it to be racist.
