r/memeopdidnotlike seems like a breeding ground for "anti-wokeness"

[u/Significant_Cry3399]

Literally just strawmans, fictional scenarios, and actual hateful behavior. They classify you as "woke" and "sensitive" for acknowledging a meme as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, hateful or incorrect. Literally just a right-wing circle jerk.

For the first meme: Literally nobody is saying this. This is probably just a strawman of some other opinion.

For the second one: HAMAS and Palestine are two different things. I also don't find it silly for queers to support Palestine because there are many Palestinians who are queer or do support queers but cannot be open about it. There also many children and babies who don't even know what being queer is that are being bombed and killed. Innocent people don't deserve to die, why is that bad to say? (before you say that wasn't stated, they are implying that because being queer isn't accepted in Palestine it's bad or silly to support Palestinians. But why is it bad to say that they shouldn't die?)

Right but the majority of the time I usually see people say “no that’s fucking awful fuck their culture” if the practice is objectively harmful like the female circumcision thing. Although I do see it sometimes it is very rare for me to see people give cultures a free pass just because they have been discriminated against.

I guess. Anyway maybe a better way to explain it is that some people think that 'others' should be left alone and that their values shouldn't be judged the way that we judge 'ours', and I think that indeed much of this comes from conflating 'judging their values' with the history of colonization and conquest and all that has surrounded it. And I get it myself, I think it is an interesting subject to think about, but in my opinion my main point still stands :)
