A friend once showed me the internal Google meme page and it was so safe and PG that it was unintentionally funny as hell in how lame it was. But I understand it has to be this way in any large company

Just like I can't blast my music tastes on others, not everyone should be subjected to insane Eric Andre humor

It wasn't always that way...it got sanitized a few years ago. I specifically remember the demanding Asian dad meme template being banned because it offended someone. And the overly attached girlfriend template, often used to make fun of our product design (things like today's YT premium trial nags).

There is a team called Community Policing at Google that sends requests to take down memes. If you don't comply they complain to your manager and HR. The folks running this team are super-woke and totally unaware of things like historical racism (like in Europe) while bending over backward to accomodate their favored groups.

It was much better when memegen was a force for positive google culture, such as when somebody exposed just how bad hello.com's static content was or how dumb google+'s policies were.

How do they cope with the current memes regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war? Some of them are (quite literally) fairly visceral.

I would expect Google to have a non-negligible Russian and Ukrainian community.
