#📩 Relax! He’s just following an Italian meme page it’s not that deep.

I know that we mustn't judge people by the meme pages they follow but couldn't help feel a little weird about damiano following a meme page making misogynistic and fatphobic jokes some of them even homophobic... I usually dont go through anyone's following list but i was trying to find the page of a Japanese artist that Damiano used to share posts onto his story from, a few years ago. I stumbled upon this meme page instead.

No, no. In this house we absolutely judge people by the meme pages they follow. Especially on their public, professionally curated, extremely popular insta.

Anon, I was fully ready to go spelunking for you. I scrolled to the very bottom to see what garbage he liked at age 16 which was totally unnecessary. Because he just recently followed ravidememe! Who posts some stuff like this:

But a whole lot of mainstream misogynistic, toxic, and woefully unoriginal shit like this:

And occasionally something truly abhorrent like a Napalm joke.

Apologies for the google translate. The page is Italian so I’m sure I’m missing a lot of problematic cultural references too. But this one I got:

“Milanese women” = women from Milan. Damiano’s ex of 6 years is from Milan and moved to Rome to be with him.

P.S. I will only respond to claims that this is solely the translations fault if you can give me a thorough explanation for each instance.

#📩 Maybe he didn’t see the “Milanese” post. #🙎🏻‍♀️ Maybe. But he saw the other ones which is why he followed. #📩 Maybe he only saw the political posts. #🙎🏻‍♀️ lol #📩 Relax! He’s just following an Italian meme page it’s not that deep. #🙎🏻‍♀️ He followed ravidememe bcus he enjoyed/identified w the humor enough to compromise his meticulously curated public image. #📩 They’re probably irl friends and that’s why he’s following. #🙎🏻‍♀️ That’s worse. #📩 Let it go this isn’t hurting anyone. #🙎🏻‍♀️ Him following this page gives these attitudes credibility & all kinds of visibility. #(cont.) Impressionable fans are gonna see these posts & internalize + accept this treatment. #📩 Literally why are you so mad? #🙎🏻‍♀️ Finding this stuff funny indicates that beneath his seemingly evolved values Damiano is just as bigoted as your average dude. #(cont.) = aspects of his allyship performative for marketability = profit. Made $ caring more than he actually does. #📩Woah! Just because someone finds something funny doesn’t mean they AGREE with it! #🙎🏻‍♀️ Possibly. But it means he isn’t meaningfully offended when he damn well should be. #📩 Gen Z are just offended by everything! Get a life! #🙎🏻‍♀️ This post is literally about a Gen Z-er making offensive jokes. Try again next time. #📩 It’s cultural! These comments aren’t offensive in Italy! #🙎🏻‍♀️ I am going to enjoy watching your compatriots come for your throat #that should just about cover it
