This is c/NiceMemes, not c/ThatHappened. Every single time I come into the comments on a post like this there’s some person going “actually this is fake” or “not so wholesome, here’s why” or “and the bad conditions for this heartwarming story to happen required these political things which I hate and doomed [locale].” Sometimes the Threadiverse feels like that draw 20 meme: let there be a space for positivity without 1) raining on the parade, 2) injecting negativity, or 3) turning it into an angry-politics-rant like the entire rest of the Threadiverse, or draw 20. I’m getting really tired of it; and also of my own self for never learning and still clicking into comments from time to time.
I do worry that by really not liking that comment and telling you about it, I’m just pounding on someone trying to correct misinformation and tone policing though (because goodness knows I wouldn’t have gotten so irritated if this had more of a “hey, just so you know, want to protect people and make sure they don’t fall for things” tone instead of the more abrasive one you took). I worry about the right thing to do with negativity in positivity/wholesome communities here in a more measured, less frustrated manner.
