What Fits into The Subreddit? edit
Poorly drawn parodies of memes, ragecomics, and all sorts of things. Although not Smuggies, which are somewhat different than Snafus. Counter-Signal memes, also known as smuggies, are political caricatures drawn by amateurs across the web. As a general rule, these memes require esoteric knowledge that most people lack, which is why they've struggled to grow in prominence. In fact, these memes work best as an inside joke between compatriots, and likely will never have mass appeal. Still, in spite of this, Smuggies were a growing trend on Reddit that encouraged direct political discussion with no bells and whistles. TDLR; A smuggie is a meme where you poorly draw a caricature of the person/ideology you wish to mock, then add text which is typically paraphrased from what they'd say, showing hypocrisy.
There had infact been a subreddit created for Smuggies with the same name, but it had been later banned by Reddit. (June 29th, 2020.)
