Polandball is a geopolitical satire meme in comic form, where issues about politics, history, stereotypical culture, and borderline racist humor collide in the interactions of "countryballs", talking mouthless blobs representing countries, regions, states, provinces, or cultural nations via their flag. Polandball has its own
Know Your Meme page,
http://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/>subreddit, and
Facebook page for users to share their own Polandball creations. On this thread, you can share your own, post others' that you find hilarious, or just generally discuss the quirks and ideas of Polandball.
Polandball comics rely on a lot of ongoing gags and evolving trends, so I'll leave reading the above links and
this quick guideline page to you so you understand
why certain things are the way they are and why they're expected to stay that way. What I'll reiterate separately here because they're important and a lot of you are lazy and don't like clicking things is that:
- the balls of countryballs should not be drawn with a circle-creating tool.
- the Polandball community is usually fairly supportive of one another as fellow meme-makers. If you post work from another person (which is totally fine, especially if you really love it) at least try to credit them by including whatever online handle you found their original post with and stating it's their work. "(Original Creator), yuo are of genious" is a common way of doing so.
- as with all fun picture-posting threads, pleeeeease try not to post the same comic someone else already did. I know if this takes off and we get into the higher numbers, that will be hard to do if you're new to Polandball or new to discovering this thread, but just do your best in that regard.
Otherwise have fun.
*ahem* or...uh...rather...
...of havings fun.
