    I had a theory years ago that r/AmITheAsshole was a testing ground for creating a model of public respectability politics by fine tuning which events did and did not garner support for the OP / the other belligerent. "They hate cheaters but what if she's being physically abused? What if he's being physically abused? What if it's not physical but verbal abuse? What if–" and so on and so forth until you can algorithmically decide exactly how much and which bullshit you need to either dig or make up on someone for public opinion to turn on them.

    You saw a post on reddit, so you made an alt on Lemmy to repost it, then found an unrelated post from reddit to serve as an intro to your comment (on an unrelated Lemmy post) linking to your lemmy-reddit post.. why? Like I'd get just posting it but why link it here, in this thread, with another unrelated pic lol.

    Nope. None of those are things that I did, you complete and utter buffoon.

    So, someone else posted that comment then? The only thing that isn't right there in your comment is whether or not you made the alt, which.. ok? Still lots of questions. Actually more, why so aggro?

    Is everything that doesn't have themes that align with your world view fake? Where do you draw the line?
