Well then, block the user posting them and be on your way instead of intentionally continuing to expose yourself to them and complaining in every post.

At this point that's on you bud.

I don't want people getting ideas that She-Ra is a good show or that memes featuring it are worth making, because then more people will post it. Right now, my PTSD is under control because I know someone's been triggering me on purpose. If I make sure to inform people that idealised images of dictatorships are bad, then there's less risk other people will join in the supposedly "harmless" fun.
