Leona jokes used to be so funny especially when cleverly done. I still laugh at an occasional good one.
Gaga & Taylor ones are not particularly funny though.
The horse and rat ones are tacky because they're mostly just mean jabs based on looks. They can go.
I'm perfectly fine with snake jokes, though. If anything, I think they should be encouraged; really, mods should remove a WP every time someone makes a snake joke.
Don't ban them. There's only a few Leona fans and none of them are on 24/7 so I don't think they're suffering too much. The other animal jokes are harmless at this stage, the snake one is a good kii whilst it's still new.

When other countries, vilified the national symbols of the other nations. The British wrote Dracula to describe a leader in Eastern Europe as a blood sucking evil. The Germans became the Huns and further dehumanized by depicting them as animals who mutilated women and children in Belgium, used human body parts in factories,... Later the Soviet and the German propaganda machine took notes and applied these influences.
It's Anglo to push the snake narrative!
Also interesting facts from 100 years ago:
@1:50 : The German military thought that the German population isn't smart enough to differentiate real news from fake news. Pizza-gate is nothing new. Their amount of faking was so extreme that soldiers send complaints to high command that they can't see themselves in the stories written about their regiment or actions. They churned out 7400 pieces of propaganda per day.
@3:30 : British propaganda is subtle by having a few journalists and writers writing essays like it's just their own opinion. It's in the publication people pay for, the fact that you paid for it, you have the illusion that you made your own choices and formed your own opinion.
@5:40 : American propaganda has an interesting feature. The 4 minute men giving 4 minute speeches and there were 75000 of those men spreading propaganda. It was believed that the human attention span is just 4 minutes. Thus you have to get the message across in less than 4 minutes. Later we call it the Dr Luke training, telling pop girls that you have 3.5 minutes to convince the audience of an idea, a thought in the chorus and the verses are to be used to support that central idea/thought in the chorus.
