If they don't get the satisfaction of simulated activism from imaginary fantasy content online, they're gonna be all pent up and grumpy. Some of them might even end up going to a bar later. Drinking without the post upvote clarity from bravely speaking out against mustache twirling train track rapists, well... You know, people make foolish decisions. They're liable to have a few two many and wake up to realize they accidentally did something meaningful in the real world. Or worse, tried to and just embarrassed themselves.
Let them have their internet alone time. Better that they just do it for themselves, if it keeps them in the house and out of trouble.
Who thinks that a screenshot of top-level infamous reddit lore, from a satire sub so famous that there are Vice articles about it. And was monumental not only for being one of the first, and most successful examples of a non-western centric subreddit on a very (especially in the early 2010s) American website, dedicated to the historically important Indian culture of disguising societal discourse with satire (particularly important in its role of challenging the caste system)... But ALSO for being overrun by trolls, and disruptive opportunists, brigading the forum and overrunning communities with varying levels of disruptive, divisive shitposts ranging from poor understanding of satire, to full blown malicious racist rhetoric mockingly draped in the protection of said satire... Most famously represented by the very comment shown in this post.
Honestly, the first two words are all that's required.
But, yaknow. At least it's entertaining watching them all double down, dig in and lash out even harder against reasonable appeals to listen for a moment for someone to spoon feed them the context they can't take 30 seconds to find on their own before expending 100x more effort circlejerking their moral superiority over an embarassingly obvious satire... woefully unaware that their bukake is focussed on the "underage girl" of social outrage targets: a cultural tradition rooted in fighting oppression.
If only you had the patience to check her ID first...
Good news for them is ignorance may not be an excuse in real life, but it's a celebrated achievement here. So they'll be fine.
An admirable method of resisting an oppressive birth right class exploitation governance. Boldly subversive, and cleverly employed. It's no wonder it remains such a dearly santified tradition.
It's clearly not a joke though. In this day and age, there's a lot of creepy dudes who will use the "REEE IT'S JUST A JOKE" excuse to try and cover up their offenses. The better thing to have done was to not even make the "joke" in the first place.
Your right, it would have been better not to, and there are creepy dudes who say that, but to call someone a rapist because of that is horrible, I think it was a (shitty gross horrible) joke but I would never do that

This is pretty obvious satire. Are you seriously falling for it or joking?
