First, don't try to frame the conversation by hastily jumping to conclusions before I explain.

The word and associations that came to mind when I saw the image and upvoted were not "a woman is saying this, and I know because this is what women do." What I thought was "a person is being depicted as petty af while pretending to be so classy, and that is so relatable." Much like I do when I watch a drag queen say some unhinged shit, and then they give a sly smile and fan themselves as if they coudln't believe that came out of their mouth. It's campy humor.

So no, I don't "associate the words superimposed over the image" because I don't take memes at face value.

And I don't know Mickey or you or your history. But I've seen plenty of shrieking on the Fediverse, with a few perpetual keyboard warriors calling anyone they don't like Nazis to be wary enough of the commenter slinging the allegations.

So, to recap, I'm not defending anyone. But I also don't believe your "this is what Lemmy does" is accurate because you're assuming why people are upvoting, and are framing subsequent conversations around that.

It’s a meme. The image behind the text could be literally anything and it really wouldn’t change much. Could be a fucking minion or goddam bugs bunny. I promise you don’t need to take shitposts so seriously.

I also fail to see how this is misogynistic.
