      The art style is recognizable. Seems easier to me to recognize the art, not bother reading it, and scroll to the next post, than it would be to go into the post to tell everyone engaging with the political cartoon that you don’t like political cartoons.

      If I see a post about sports I don’t go into the comments to tell everyone there I don’t care for sorts, because the people in that comment section do not care.

        OMG can you imagine if people did that though? ‘This person posted about the Dodgers! I hate the Dodgers! I demand that nobody post anything about them ever because I don’t want to see it!’

        So what made you stop? You’re joining the circle jerk of praise, or you’re furious that some of us aren’t on board, and you’re going to tell us all to go outside?

          I stopped because I don’t have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.

          I’m not doing either of those things. There’s no way to read my comment and get to either of those two conclusions without making something up out of thin air.

            Define “fury”. I feel like I’m being relatively conversational, we just disagree on something. I’m not calling you slurs, or making assumptions of your character. I’m simply responding to people who are responding to me at this point, with a few minor exceptions.

            If I were to make any kind of judgement it would be that a lot of you don’t really know how this is supposed to work. For too many, and maybe you included, discourse in social media means you have to completely agree with something, or else remain silent. You’ve been swatting at trolls so long you don’t know the difference. This has the unfortunate side effect of creating echo chambers, and these little praise parties.

            Edit: actually, overlooking my comment to you, maybe I was 😬 oops. I’m probably getting a little swept up in this too – anyway, you still stopped, the same as I did. Should I be obligated to say something nice about the content, or nothing at all? So the conclusion is still the same.
