Fixing the Memegenerator Problem

As some of you might already know, Memegenerator went down roughly a week ago and has not come back. I’ve been working on a solution to that.

At first I had the problem that I needed the template (I never saved a blank one, except for in small size) and had nowhere to remake it. My husband, using the small version and the original hedgehog pic, reconstituted a template for me:

Can you even tell the difference? Is my husband awesome or what?

Of course, as I’ve been discovering, meme generating sites really blow. They’re absolute shit, and Memegenerator was actually the best of the lot. I know some people have been using Quick Meme now, but for some reason it didn’t work for me; the pictures all saved on my computer as blanks. So for now, I’m using imgflip, and you can find the AH template here.

Imgflip isn’t great, and it’s layout is kind of confusing, so if you can’t figure it out, send your text directly to me and I’ll memeify it. However, this is just an interim solution. My husband is going to code an AH specific meme generator just for us! Because he’s awesome. 

So in the meantime, we work with what we’ve got, and I’ll keep y'all updated on the situation.

New Rule

Due to recent circumstances I’m changing the way I do things here.

Previously I would go on memegenerator to see if any new memes had been made, and pick some to post if there are (because for the most part, no one sends me any). Generally I’d only choose ones I was certain I understood, without needing further context. (So if you were wondering why I didn’t pick yours, it was probably just because I was entirely positive what it was saying. Communication issues; y'all know how it is, I’m sure.)

I’m not going to be doing that anymore. If you want a meme put up, you have to submit. You’re welcome to just send me the text and I’ll make it into meme form myself, or send me a link tot he meme, but you have to submit it. Because I have no way of knowing what people want or being sure what they mean.

That does mean, however, that you probably won’t see much on AH unless someone has submitted something (I can only make so many hedgehogs, after all) so if there are long periods of lull, that will be way

I made the memes "allistic writes a story about autistics" and "allistic thinks autistics don't like porn" about a story and I was annoyed. But now I feel bad about the memes being out there like this because the writer wrote a bunch of sequels where autistics made friends with each other and flapped their hands to show happiness, and two fell in love. And the allistic wrote a political statement that she supports difference and we're just different and not bad. And the memes don't show that.1/2

Anonymous

Continued: it was written for a time-sensitive prompt. And the allistic did research but only found the Wikipedia article and tried to be respectful to the inaccurate depiction. And afterward has done research from autistic-written sources. She developed good autie characters and some are really creative and others are geniuses because of the particular setting’s limitations about who would be there. She was uninformed but really respectful and is educating herself. I no longer support my memes.

——————————-

I’ve been thinking about how to deal with this for a while. I didn’t have context when I chose those memes to publish; I didn't need context, because I know most of us have experienced these exact circumstances (as evidenced by the amount of notes each meme got). I didn’t know there was a context, because this looked like ordinary, generalized stuff.

In fact, anon, had you never said anything, no one would know. No one would suspect. And I doubt anyone now could easily figure out what author and story you’re talking about, because the internet is large and this stuff happens all the time. 

So now I have a dilemma. I’ve sworn in the past that I would remove memes if asked, but at the same time, I’ve got a lot of people who related to those memes. Just because you don’t stand behind them, anon, doesn’t mean they didn’t mean something to someone else. After all, none of us knew they were specific. So if you want them down, you’re going to have to say so. I’m not going to make the decision for you because, frankly, I’m done making decisions for people and there’s going to be some changes to how I do things here.

Welcome to Autistic Hedgehog

This morning I was feeling upset and prickly about pretty much the entire world, and I kind of wished I could combat it the way a hedgehog would: Curl up and let my spiky bits do the rest. Sadly, I don’t have actual physical spiky bits.

Still, it gave me the idea to start Autistic Hedgehog. There are already several meme tumblrs and other tumblrs for things like allistic privilege and autism confessions, but I’m hoping to provide a place to blow off a little steam–perhaps with a bit of humor. You can be angry. You can be sarcastic. You can be facetious. 

(That’s a joke, obviously. I would never eat allistic people for breakfast or any other meal. I don’t know where they’ve been.)

Here is Autistic Hedgehog: http://memegenerator.net/Autistic-Hedgehog 

I’ll try to make sure I get a sidebar link for that.

Anyway, I’m crap at introductions, so there you have it. Feel free to submit something or ask anything.
