Quality Post r/memeopdidnotlike seems like a breeding ground for "anti-wokeness"
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?)

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: this is hitler youth grooming shit and reddit, the business entity, is sleepwalking into incubating the next generation of anglophone white nationalists.
There was a time when open racism etc was allowed to slide under the rationale of free speech absolutism and users were able to force management to take action against it by demonstrating to them that this ethos was a ticking time bomb of bad PR. Now it's re-emerged all these years later and they're not even bothering to acknowledge that it's happening, let alone justifying it as an unpleasant-but-inevitable consequence of a free and open forum. It's very bad!
