    I think this is meant as a political cartoon, but I’m sure Yog would love to discuss with you if you want to talk about real photographs being misused to similar effect (along with stories that don’t even have fake photos attached), e.g. with Tienanmen Square or Xinjiang, if you ask him to. I must admit that I don’t have the patience for having that discussion with hostile strangers, but Yog is a power poster.

      What makes you think I’m a hostile stranger? The general premise of the meme is good and fine. I’m sure it happens all the time. Just not sure this is a great example. If it happens in reality all the time, highlight those instances. Doesn’t help anyone to make up new ones.

            It’s text

            Which still carries tone, and that one was clearly accusatory

            and half the people on here have autism. Can we not?

            You’re hiding behind finger wagging but this doesn’t actually make sense. Am I just to that phrasing it as an accusation is just an oopsie whoopsie from someone with a very specific subset of autistic traits that leaves them with no idea of how they come off, and that them having no idea means they should not be encouraged to try to be mindful?
