    Is this a meme?

      True, but my 580 is showing it’s age. A lot of newer titles push it too hard, where even with low game settings and Adrenalin tweaks, it still suffers. Enshrouded was almost a slide show. I’m lucky I can still play Satisfactory (especially since they recently updated to UE5).

    I was driving 3x1080p monitors and gaming on a GTX 950 for the longest time but I was fortunate enough to afford an upgrade recently.

    I use a 4k monitor with a 1070, and yeah … at least it’s only a 60Hz monitor, so I don’t waste as much potential lol

    Although I chuckled, time to be a killjoy!

    This image is racist because Tom has east Asian caricature features of the buck teeth and closed eyes, and is in a cartoonishly small bed as east Asian people are often shorter compared to the western average height. My first thought was the the joke was that Tom has to squint, another racist trope, because the poor video card can’t handle the high resolution.

    My second thought was that he was too big for the bed, which appears to be the actual joke. Sadly it was spoiled because of the overt racism in the chosen image so it just got a chuckle for the real punchline.

      He’s sleeping in Jerry’s bed. He’s meant to look like Jerry. It’s not an Asian caricature.

        I was about to say this. The cheese is by the table.

        That person is wrong here, but I think they were thinking about other scenes. There’s a few of them on youtube if you search Tom and Jerry stereotypes.

        Since the racist caricature is based on equating east Asian people to rats, it was a reasonable assumption.

        I regret nothing.

      The original scene: https://www.tiktok.com/@tm.jy/video/7246655883751558426 (I could only find a TikTok link unfortunately).

      For those who don’t want to click through, Tom is hit on the head by a woman (an actual racist caricature named Mammy Two Shoes) and starts to think he’s a mouse. He grows buck teeth (like a mouse or rat), starts eating cheese, and attempts to sleep on Jerry’s bed (as seen in the meme).

      It’s important to recognize racist stereotypes, especially with how prevalent they were in old cartoons, but it’s also important to avoid jumping to conclusions and calling out problems that aren’t there.

        Calm your tits bro.

        Explaining something looks like a racist stereotype doesn’t mean someone is riled up.

          Pointing out racist caricatures even when there aren’t any makes you look racist.

      Tom: *grows buck teeth, eats cheese, and sleeps in a tiny bed because he thinks he’s a mouse*

      You: “Buck teeth! Just like an Asian!”
