Like, to go from “no no guys, I criticized Pointman too!” to “actually everyone else who criticized him is the problem” is a bit of a joke.
The rest seems like a lot of hand-waiving to distract and avoid acknowledging the wild double-standard between what is acceptable when talking about Palestinian victims vs Israeli victims. You don’t react like this when posters like Azure call Palestinians “repulsive” for sharing similar sentiments that Pointman shared. You don’t but in and say “hey, they’ve just lived through a traumatic event, they deserve leeway,” do you? I might have missed it. Totally correct me if I’m off base here.
But whether you have or you haven’t, there really isn’t an excuse to deny that double-standard exists. Yours (whether intentional or not) and Zevo’s posts were obvious examples of it. You both literally reacted differently to the almost identical copy/pasted text (edited to be less inflammatory) based on the which innocent victims it was referring to. Hell, you reacted more strongly to the less inflammatory version!
That’s crazy, no? Can we at least stop pretending that it isn’t real?

How exactly was anyone supposed to know your post was satire (assuming it was), when that exact same thing has been posted seriously multiple times both before and after October 7.
