    The joke in the meme is John Cena laughing at JKR being in the Epstein files, though. That’s not a joke, it’s disinformation.

    If the text said something about it being rumored, that would feel more like a joke. That would be sweet karma. But it’s not cool when they post disinformation, and it’s not cool when we do it either.

    While it’s non-defensible; a lot of people just believe what they see in memes. A family member of mine is like that.

      John Cena… The guy who’s famous for saying “You can’t see me!” which spawned millions of memes.

      It’s called tongue in cheek… I deserve smarter detractors.

        That makes no sense.

        “The guy who says ‘You can’t see me’ thinks its funny that JKR is in the Epstein files” doesn’t change anything.

        The “personal attack” quip shows your hand, anyway.

        Look, all I’m saying is that if someone goes and repeats disinformation to someone who knows better, it makes them look dumb, which makes the movement look dumb. It doesn’t help anyone. It makes us more emotional, which makes us less effective.
