Today’s Meme: Tough Love is Welcome Here

Once a meme is sent out into popular culture, its content and meaning will change. When two tie-dye yard signs started popping up in 2021, the former Communications major in me immediately questioned the embedded signals in the messages, “All Are Welcome Here,” and “Hate Has No Home Here.” Canceling hate is a far cry from loving thy neighbor and often people who offer constructive criticism are called “haters” in modern parlance. Receiving criticism can be tough, but if it is constructive, I welcome it, therefore I made this meme. But, memes are just brain worms, not substitutes for critical thinking, including this one.
