This meme can be very sensitive towards some people who are dealing with mental issues or feeling suicidal. Also using a phrase like don’t “kermit” suicide is not something that is appropriate with the context its in, trying to make a joke/funny phrase out of something very sensitive is unacceptable. In addition to that meme giving it a funny/meme jokey feel it can trigger some people.
I modified the meme to make it heal the wound in some way, it is trying to get individuals to commit (kermit) into talking to someone to get some help and there is someone that can help. I think this meme would have the same viral quality or at least it people would have some sort of a good reaction when you see this meme somewhere. This also encourages people to talk to someone and there is someone out there who will listen and understand.
What would we have to do about the digital ecosystem in order for good news or uplifting content to travel faster and more than bad news? Is there a way communication organizations could be designed or regulated to balance the bad/good news? The digital ecosystem wouldn’t be able to get good news to travel faster, since I feel like the amount of good and bad news come out all at the same time. However I would try to provide a solution where social media would filter/prevent any bad posts that present bullying, hatred or racism etc.. , but again having a balance is what should be done because if we fully get rid of bad news, there would be individuals who we wouldn’t be able to hold accountable since we can’t see any bad news.
