    If you have sensitives, you should work through them on your own or in counseling. Maybe you’re not ready to view memes/jokes like this one, it’s okay to keep scrolling without sharing your personal trauma. I appreciate your perspective but it is very unique.

      Are you ready to view one in which the body of Mathew Shepard is shown dangling from the fence with the words: me at the end of a very hard week

        If the majority of people would react a certain way, that’s the social norm. Your personal reaction to seeing Bush’s face on 9/11, after 22 years, is just not the norm, nor anyone else’s responsibility. This is not a graphic image, and it was not addressed to you specifically.

          So… the majority of people in the South of the USA are racists, fascists, Magaheads. Should we consider that the Norm?

          No?

          So we cannot use the tiny sample of Lemmings as a norm. Just saying.

            Norms aren’t right/wrong. You are on lemmy viewing this image, that’s your population. And that’s what you should be considering when offering your perspective.

            You’re being so heavily downvoted because people here don’t agree with you. Not that anyone is right/wrong.
