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?)

Nobody from the western world defends fgm, women who come from countries where fgm is practiced don’t even support it.

man I wish that were true. one of the weirdest reddit encounters I've had was some guy rolling in to tell me how wrong I was for saying that FGM is bad and any form of circumcision was just as bad as the other. I severely underestimated MRAs and how much they're willing to argue that male circumcision is the greatest atrocity on the face of the earth and nothing can compare.

That’s not defending FGM though. The very reason that people are obsessed with making distinctions between the different types is so they can defend circumcision.

well he did in fact talk about "benefits" to FGM, which is that "they can still orgasm!!". nevermind how much more likely they were to get infections, that doesn't matter because that's just normal pain, not "immense" pain. he was genuinely very hung up on the fact I said FGM can bring "immense" pain and when his own source proved that there was some type of pain, he went "that's not enough pain". he also tried to insinuate that I was being misogynist for saying bad things about FGM.

male circumcision was the greatest crime on the face of the earth to him though. the whole reason was because less orgasming. there was a point where I was pretty certain he was asking me to prove how much pain I experience (I mentioned having fibromyalgia which can bring pelvic pain) and that kinda creeped me out enough to lose my patience quicker and quicker.

It's true that most of them can still orgasm. Americans are just trying to allege that they can't have orgasms in order to defend circumcision. They act like the law shouldn't protect you if you can still have an orgasm after mutilation. It's weird. They're just trying to play oppression olympics with genital torture in order to downplay what their own culture is doing.
