No one else was pointing out that child murderer Casey Anthony was being put on a pedestal here.

    A "pedestal"? Come on, be serious. It's a meme of a person glaring at someone.

    I knew she looked familiar, but couldn't place where. I'd wager most people don't even remember the case, let alone what she looks like. If I sent her picture to 20 people, maybe half of them have heard of her, 5 people might know that's her.

    Downplaying this and believing that others are as ignorant as you is not the play.

    we're not downplaying anything.

    Dude if I post a meme about pinochet, adoplh shitler or suharto on a misantrhopy forum with my joke being 'iF yOu WaNt ThErE To Be LeSs HuManS!? I HavE JuSt thE MaN fOr THe jOb!!1?1?1?111¿' do you think the people on that there forum would laugh in unison with me or ask me to leave forever?

    That is exactly what this meme is doing.

    Being childfree doesnt mean 'Give a pass to ALLL humans who shown cruelty to children' instead it means 'Give a pass to ALL humans who choose to live a peaceful lifestyle where they choose to exclude themselves from things involving children.' ...Thats it

    Same can be said for things related to misanthropy . Misanthropy doesnt mean 'Super-Individualistic-Turbo-Genocidal Hatred Of All Humans!!!1!1!¿ Give a pass to ALL HUMANS who have done cruel things to reduce the human population !1!1!32¿¡' instead it means 'Give a pass to ALL HUMANS who have peacefully chosen to exclude themselves from other activities involving other humans.' ...Thats it.

    We shall neveer give a pass to a hellish demon like casey anthony who will probably become a serial k1ller

    "put on a pedestal" is hyperbolic to be generous.

    Literally highlighting her crimes to use as an ideal way of taking care of loud children, but ok.

    How have you never encountered the concept of irony. You can't actually be this obtuse. You're faking it for some rhetorical point, right?

    the person you're replying to is notorious for constructing ethical frameworks out of thin air then using loaded language and blame/shame tactics to high road any interlocutors who disagrees or adds nuance. theyre actually pretty good at boxing people into corners by steel manning exaggerated versions of their position then knocking them down with pearl clutching tactics. something along the lines of, "I can't believe you laughed a joke about! Don't you know laughing or thinking about a bad thing is morally equivalent to doing the actual thing?!"

    they're otherwise actually pretty based in their views and make valid points but come off as antagonistic and self-serious to the point of discouraging others from engaging in conversation where people are allowed to grow and evolve their opinions.

    best to tag and move on.

    You sure you want to defend someone advocating for murdering loud children?

    They clearly weren’t joking when they posted this, but atleast now it should be clear and you’ll adjust your comment here yeah?

    There’s times when you need to be able to think for yourself and notice that it’s not a dark joke and is maybe a cry for help.

    And than there’s always people who defend them as well… peas in a pod I guess.

    fyi you are not "the person" I was referring to at all earlier. regardless, I won't pretend that policing which types of jokes are allowed on the internet (a joke clearly intended as rage bait which you fell for, btw) somehow places you on a pedestal above others.

    maybe for you, this is "real life" but for me this is a shit post comment section. this isn't the salon or academy or public tribunal. it's not an essay prompt asking you to stake a moral position on a controversial topic. no one is actually being harmed here.

    the meme is OBVIOUS engagement bait to get people like yourself riled up over literally nothing. a meme by an edgelord. that you just REACTED in the most knee jerk way to, by claiming moral high ground about an unserious hypothetical scenario.

    the worst part of this interaction honestly, is that posts like this divide and push otherwise similar minded people into "take a side or be condemned" type of thinking. i never once commented on the content of the meme but I did fall for the bait of engaging/warning others not to engage with certain posters.

    qed, much ado about nothing.

    lol, this NOT ragebait. You don’t even know what that means. The person is unhinged and really think that, looks at their post history, it’s why it’s public on Lemmy. If someone says they’re a nazi and gonna murder someone a dozen times. In that rage bait….? Because you’re ignoring the past to only focus on a single event.

    maybe for you, this is "real life" but for me this is a shit post comment section.

    Than you need to read the sidebar and see what the community is about, because you’re assumptions are wrong, this isn’t shit posting. This is actual real people’s real thoughts. Look at the bloody posts and comments. Nothing else s mentioned about “joking” or “shitposting”. You assumed wrong, but now you know better and won’t perpetuate joking about child abuse yeah?

    This is like r/thedonald, this is actual reality dude, but pretend it’s not!!! If you think that all the posts here are jokes, do I have a fucking bridge to sell you lmfao.

    The content isn’t bait dude, we’re calling out a fucked up person, don’t defend that shit or you’ll be grouped with them.

    If you think joking about murdering and abusing children is even remotely funny, you’re the fucking problem. What’s funny about joking about abusing kids? I would love to hear reasoning. Please explain exactly how broken and messed up you are, or how you think it’s normal.

    No, OP is literally that unhinged.

    And you wanting to continue to sit here defending this crap? I knew you weren’t worth my time when you tried making a scene in the other thread.

    I'm sorry, lemmy.world won't believe that I am a human and show me your content. But the post we are presently on is obviously ironic. No one is seriously suggesting murdering loud children. The fact that you are making me say that out loud is very concerning.

    I'm sorry, I don't remember you.

    What part about their comments here and their post history is joking?

    No one is seriously suggesting murdering loud children.

    Uhh… Op literally is and has they provided the source, and their post history is full of it. How far up your ass is your head? How many times does someone need to say “I’m a Nazi” before it’s not “a joke” anymore? What’s the number?

    Or are they one of your many alts?

    There's a reason Casey Anthony was used for this meme and you're being deliberately obtuse by ignoring that reason.

    Okay. I accept there was a reason. I propose that reason was humour. It's a huge leap to say that reason was that people want to literally murder loud children. I'm sorry but you're being fucking stupid right now. If this is how your mind actually works, you're struggling with something big.
