Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it's outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

We must have read two different articles. Can you quote where in the linked article it said that?

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 31 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Oh I don't know maybe the first three words?

MONSTERS APPEAL MIGRANT

Or the next three words that follow

the MONSTER migrant

Instead of maybe "the rapist", no we got to tie in that he is a migrant in all caps, at every possible turn.

Also further down referred to as

the MONSTER

Or

the migrant

Oh and also let's rope in some unrelated burglar who also happens to be a migrant.

All very easy to spot so I figure you're not really asking in good faith, just like someone who has an agency in "just asking questions" would do.

So you believe a child rapist isn't a monster, and that we aren't allowed to have heated discourse about the legal loopholes being utilized for foreign criminals to escape justice?

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:

That's not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it's outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

You said :

It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

So don't try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I'm sick of this bullshit.

We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn't in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we're having here.

Still no relevant response to what I pointed out, buddy,.

I'm not obligated to invest any more serious energy into you, bud. We're allowed to disengage if we feel someone lost the plot.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

just an observation, but replying to them is not disengagement.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You want some engagement too now?

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago

Dr of what? Sealioning?

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Are you a little bit slow?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

What am I missing?

All the context.
