    Unrelated to the actual topic, but is anyone else starting to find this “my brother in Christ” meme really irritating? I ain’t your brother, and I don’t give a fuck about your Christ.

      Would you prefer they go back to using the n-word instead?

      Edit: maybe the downvote was because you don’t know:

      From https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-brother-in-christ :

      My Brother in Christ is a recaption meme trend using “my brother in Christ” as a slang term put on top of words, most often replacing the N-word, in other meme captions to enhance the original meaning by adding a flair of polite Christianity for humorous effect.

      Edit: fixed link.

      It’s just a phrase. Like “how are you” as a greeting. Nobody who say how are you wants to know how you are or gives a shit about any answer other than “fine thanks! how are you”. Just treat MBIC the same way, maybe invent your own responses, my sister in Buddha?
