you missed this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5812044

and this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5811125

and this one https://hexbear.net/comment/5811178, specifically sooper_dooper_roofer's comment

and as for what you've linked, where you're reading 'satirising' i'm reading 'taking something to a logical extreme to show how ridiculous it is', and it's definitely pointed at this discourse and not at redditorisms

this whole thread is a Reddit reference, feels like I stumbled into bizarro hexbear

why is always when some shit like this gets posted i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like 'oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I'm a P*DO because there's two years between us!!' like come the fuck on

i get it, idpol's gone wild and the youth are nutso but do you really have to throw out the nuance?? maybe i'm misreading things but it feels like some of yall get really defensive when this topic comes up, and as a result we can never have any valid discussion about this topic without someone throwing some reddit-level bad faith thing at you for saying 'yes, there is some truth to age-gap discourse'

i know this is obviously a sensitive topic for you, but it is far from the 'one socially acceptable' form of body shaming, and if we really want to go there the social consequences of 'being bald' are nowhere close to the social consequences of 'being fat' or 'being visibly disabled'

I agree, all of them are body shaming and should not be condoned, but they are not comparable in the way you're trying to insinuate

i was gonna say any bit part where they were too cheap to hire a POC so they got Hank Azaria to put on a shitty accent, but after some research that's a surprisingly wide net (actually insane what they were still doing just years ago)

i'll go with Hank Scorpio, the better Hank

you have selected: Deaths by American Bombing!

Did you know: in the 20th Century, "the United States probably murdered about 583,000 people"? In comparison, China murdered 76,702,000 people? Wow! Communism must be bad!

Author's note: Initially it was 38 Million, but silly me I forgot that another 38 million also died during Mao's famine!

oh shit i forgot the best nugget here, which is that this is quoted by Rummel but the guy quoted is Gary Aldrich - a former FBI agent. You can't get better than this.
