    But the whole thing is totally absurd. If she’s a criminal then she can’t be a role model, who her husband is should have no bearing on sentencing, inciting violence is obviously a crime…

    Lemmy is also one of the most progressive popular forums in political terms. How often do you see genuine gammons in the comments here?

      If you want to play a person that would get downvoted, without indicating that you are doing so, you are then not in a position to be upset that you got downvoted. Acting irrational and defending the indefensible is a normal thing to encounter on the internet, unironically.

        I guess I just don’t take social media very seriously. Sorry for polluting your feed with shitposting.

        Have a nice day!

          Oh, I wasn’t like being mad or anything. I was just trying to explain what was happening. I’m autistic, so not only have I already learned all these lessons the hard way, but I’m very familiar with being misunderstood and having to make extra effort to explain my jokes.

          Edit: And with the most common way of browsing lemmy, especially as a new user, being to have it set to /all, there are actually alot of instances of a random person showing up with a super unpopular hot take on something they don’t know about.

            I think the chronology of me posting the “I didn’t think I needed an /s” thing made it look like a dig at you but I had not seen your initial comment or you hadn’t posted it when I hit send on that. Simple misunderstanding I think!

            Edit: simple *mutual misunderstanding, I should say

              Yeah, this line of posts I would consider completely separate from the other one. Though not completely in a vacuum.
