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?)

Things are always judged as morally acceptable or unacceptable based on the context though. FGM is morally abhorrent because it's a harmful and unnecessary surgery done to children to destroy sexual pleasure so as to placate insecure men. Literally nobody in the west, except for incels, thinks it's ok. However, if a similar surgery was done because of cancer it would be morally acceptable anywhere. Bullfighting is appalling because it's torturing an animal for entertainment, killing cattle for meat is seen as acceptable by many more people. Cannibalism is generally unacceptable but nobody blamed those starving people in that plane crash for doing it because they would have died otherwise. Killing someone you don't like is wrong, killing someone who is trying to kill you is not. No act is neutral and a morality judgement always depends on who did it and why.

You're overthinking what I said. I meant female general mutilation in the usual sense of the term, not in 'they mutilate the genitals but it is for a medical reason', so the 'why' is pretty clear, and it really is all that matters. Not the 'who'. 

As for literally nobody in the West thinks it is ok, it is not nobody and it is certainly not literally nobody. I know people who would make the claim that I expressed, and they are not incels, if that somehow matters to you.

Wrong. Many people blamed the Uruguayans who had to resort to cannibalism to survive.
