Then, choose the correct answer to your question :

1 – Because you touch yourself at night.
2 – Because they are retarded.
3 – Because they are the Internet Hate Machine.
4 – Because the internet is Serious Fucking Business.

I don't see why this would be locked. Though I will move it to General.
To answer the question, it's because that's ED. They're supposed to hate and/or make fun of everything. And no, you are not in any danger.

So they'll hate us because we can take it. Because we're not their hero. We're a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

In addition, we may introduce old, tired memes to newfags, prolonging the use of things that are no longer funny.

Oh right, because a bunch of anonymous people, influenced by their will to remain a classy secret clubhouse where jokes aren't funny anymore when they spread outside their little bubbles and become "mainstream" (favorite band selling out anyone ? I like pork) have all the legitimacy necessary to tag what can be funny and what can't be.

Not everyone can stumble upon a joke at the same time so deal with it if newer internet users are finding "old jokes" that they like to use now.

Because yeeeeeah, the true hardcore underground user only has the right to consider when something is funny, not the rest of the world !

By the way, I'm still trying to see where the "Millions of dollars", where the "copyrighted material in order to drown peaceful imageboards and internet culture" and where the "they steal memes, they don't just document them (and besides ED is better than them because it's made by anon for anon, despite the fact ED never wants to check his facts because it is mainly here to offer satire on the world and despite the fact a big part of the KYM community is made of anons)" proofs are, to back up those unchecked claims.

But that's right, jealousy doesn't need evidence, does it ?
WE JUST HAVE OUR BELIEFS CONCERNING KYM, MEANING THAT WE'RE IN OUR GOOD RIGHT TO HAVE THE LAST WORD ON THE INTERNETS AND IT'S ENOUGH, YOU KNOW, LIKE THOSE ISLAM EXTREMISTS WITH THEIR BLINKERS.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE ARE THE INTERNETS, THE INTERNET HATE MACHINE, THE FINAL BOSS OF THE INTERBUTT AND YOU STEAL OUR CULTURE BY DARING TO POST A KIND OF UNBIASED VIEW ON INTERNET MEMES!

While I'm at it, the http://www.knowyourmemes.com/ website redirecting to whatport80, the SFW version of ED, is a way to pay tribute to KYM, or to be nothing but plagiarism, in a childish manner as "yo, you started stealing us (unfounded) so we are stealing you too !" ?
Because, you know, it was created after KYM, hu.

I wonder why some EDiots/711channers/Internet tough fags would be the only ones to get up and spit their bile on people, considering the chan's culture eagerly stole from genmay.com, somethingawful, futaba channel and probably many more.

FTW.

Also isn't that basically what ED does, but they warp the truth.

I love how they accuse KYM of making money off of the internet, and yet they are filled with pop ups, and porno on the side.

Also what if a company learns about a meme, get over it, I just want a joke and to have a laugh.

Anon hates us b/c they think we are stealing their memes and making money off of them, which I suppose this site is, when their sites are always strapped for cash. But who cares? and no your not in any danger.

Get the fuck out, troll, because we do care on the fact that we DON'T steal memes NOR make money ouf of them.
How many times do we have to say it ?

After staying up all night, that sounds like a great Idea… hold on, just one more level…
just one more level…
okay, just one more level…

First of all we understand you are just observing the internet, and you are in no way stealing a meme because it is a thought not a thing. We wouldn't care if memes were mainstream so long as every 10 seconds someone doesn't go "HURR DURRR MUDKIPZ" or "IMA FIRING MY LAZER" or something along the lines of boxxy. What I am saying is everything is fine in moderation so please make sure you don't overuse things a bit. That's how most memes became stale and unfunny and the other 10% of memes were never funny to begin with so w/e.

tl;dr Everything is fine in moderation and stop overusing memes.

While I must admit I'm very pleased to see, FINALLY, someone who seems to want to really start a "peaceful" argument about memes and this website without any snarky thought or troll purpose, there are still things that are bothering me so, if you please wouldn't mind answering a few questions…?

1 – …and you are in no way stealing a meme because it is a thought not a thing. First of all, while it is indeed one of the reasons, do you understand that this is not the MAIN reason, overall ? I mean, people here have just created a database for memes, based more on facts than satire, in a kind of an Internet sociology analyze, even if we try to stay on an humorous side, because 90% of memes are made of humor first.

2 – Let's talk about the T-shirts, because it seems the main "problem" lies down there. Many people have surely made their own t-shirt based on memes, or have bought those from ED or some other places, because they find it cool. As far as I can say, the T-shirts here (not really the buttons but still) aren't copypasta from the memes. The longcat one isn't the picture of longcat, the "O rly" isn't the original owl image… Anyway, is making a T-shirt, that is more of an instance from the meme than the meme itself, really stealing ?

3 – Based on above, why is it bothering you so much if people find it cool to buy shirts from memes or if people are overusing what YOU think are "old/dead memes" ? What is the matter with that ? You can simply ignore them or bash them if they come to a chan and act too much retardly to your taste, can't you ?
There are many scales in the "funnyness" of things, depending on every people. Fine, if that irritates other people, that's too bad, but it's in no way an argument to "censor" its use.

4 – Can't you explain why you think memes must be part of a "secret knowledge" or for "secret clubhouses users only" ? A meme is a meme if it spreads to other people who replicate it, in the first place. You can't remove that. So, your quote : What I am saying is everything is fine in moderation so please make sure you don’t overuse things a bit. That’s how most memes became stale and unfunny and the other 10% of memes were never funny to begin with so w/e. is YOUR opinion, and the opinion of some others anons thinking it as a fact. But it's isn't a fact, it's your opinion.
Can you please explain why your opinion must seriously prevail above all the others ?

If that thought was simply in order to troll people, I wouldn't mind and would gladly say "ha ! you got me !" but some of you seem to really take it seriously, and are seriously willing to impose your views on people, which is… nuts really.

ps: Oh and a :
5 – Do you understand that KYM hasn't got the money you people say it has ? I'm not the best here to talk about money and everything and I'm sure one of the admins, if they really decide to expose what fund they have, would tell you about it.
