    fyi you are not “the person” I was referring to at all earlier. regardless, I won’t pretend that policing which types of jokes are allowed on the internet (a joke clearly intended as rage bait which you fell for, btw) somehow places you on a pedestal above others.

    maybe for you, this is “real life” but for me this is a shit post comment section. this isn’t the salon or academy or public tribunal. it’s not an essay prompt asking you to stake a moral position on a controversial topic. no one is actually being harmed here.

    the meme is OBVIOUS engagement bait to get people like yourself riled up over literally nothing. a meme by an edgelord. that you just REACTED in the most knee jerk way to, by claiming moral high ground about an unserious hypothetical scenario.

    the worst part of this interaction honestly, is that posts like this divide and push otherwise similar minded people into “take a side or be condemned” type of thinking. i never once commented on the content of the meme but I did fall for the bait of engaging/warning others not to engage with certain posters.

    qed, much ado about nothing.

      lol, this NOT ragebait. You don’t even know what that means. The person is unhinged and really think that, looks at their post history, it’s why it’s public on Lemmy. If someone says they’re a nazi and gonna murder someone a dozen times. In that rage bait….? Because you’re ignoring the past to only focus on a single event.

      maybe for you, this is “real life” but for me this is a shit post comment section.

      Than you need to read the sidebar and see what the community is about, because you’re assumptions are wrong, this isn’t shit posting. This is actual real people’s real thoughts. Look at the bloody posts and comments. Nothing else s mentioned about “joking” or “shitposting”. You assumed wrong, but now you know better and won’t perpetuate joking about child abuse yeah?

      This is like r/thedonald, this is actual reality dude, but pretend it’s not!!! If you think that all the posts here are jokes, do I have a fucking bridge to sell you lmfao.

      The content isn’t bait dude, we’re calling out a fucked up person, don’t defend that shit or you’ll be grouped with them.

      If you think joking about murdering and abusing children is even remotely funny, you’re the fucking problem. What’s funny about joking about abusing kids? I would love to hear reasoning. Please explain exactly how broken and messed up you are, or how you think it’s normal.
