I think when it comes down to it you are on the internet and you are going to see French stuff no matter what. That's what mods are for. You can't really place blame on an entire community because of a handful of people. If they're even people and not bots. That being said I'm not going to care or get sad if people make fun of a fascist who's killed. I don't care if somebody makes pictures of Hitler getting killed so I don't really care for any fascist including Kirk. We literally fought a war against them and killed them. It doesn't really make me blink.

    And that's fine. You're free to see it that way.

    But when you replied, "So...five?" it seems that you were downplaying the broader pattern because I only listed a handful of examples. So I listed many more.

    My original statement was: "Based on how many Lemmings I see openly advocating for (and cheering) violence lately, I can see why some may worry about what's gonna happen." I still stand by that.

    What I'm pushing back on is your implication that there were few examples. You've acknowledged seeing some yourself. We disagree on how much they matter. But that doesn't make my point less valid.

    At this point, it seems less like you believe this rhetoric doesn't exist and more like you simply don't find it especially concerning. Which again, is fine. But has nothing to do with my original statement/opinion.
