Well tbf, in some cases, factually incorrect memes are a way to quickly spread misinformation and can definitely be bad for that reason.
I think the original commenter was at least somewhat joking in this particular instance, though. "How can we trust you?" seems like an odd thing to seriously ask a shitposter. I could be wrong, tone is hard to read online.

There was a point when that was almost a weekly occurrence

That's why the rest of us stopped paying attention. Y'all had to slow it down a bit.

If only the same was true of Shrek.
Dicska@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
That would bring the quality down.
Like with the Tories.

Oooof almost a good meme.
Shrek 4 was released on in 2 July 2010 in the UK. The Tories had won the general election by then and formed a coalition with the Lib Dems.
How can we trust you?

Released then means it was already written approved and filmed/animated prior. Can't expect them to wait for years to edit it.

Ha ha, no, there's no way Shrek 4 came out 14 years ago...
Ah, fuck.

Shrek 4 premiered in April, so before the general election. That should count.

Excuse me, are you citing facts as a reason for a meme to be bad?

If we can’t trust the meme creators, or the reposters, who can we trust?
(the comment thread!) Thanks for doing the due diligence!

Turned 90 degrees, the middle pic could be seen as a shit-club-sandwich.

Tony Blair's Neoliberalism is what killed Shrek movies for so long. Associating him with Shrek movies is unfair to Shrek movies.

Simple as, innit!
