      Just so you know, it’s not cool to make fun of children just because they happen to be born or live in a particular region of the US.

      Poverty/location shaming isn’t funny. Do you make fun of people who were born in the Middle East too? What about Ukraine? Or Africa? What kind of cartoons do you post about them?

      People used to make fun of autism, and sexuality too. What you’re doing isn’t any different.

        Oh yeah I was definitely mocking the children. Who make all the disastrous and obviously idiotic decisions that put them in these situations.

        As I do with all the little children of the world.

        WTF. Just so you know, it’s not cool to deliberately take the most offensive intent and apply it to anyone you like without any reason other than your own biases. What you’re doing isn’t any different.

          It’s a AP news article about a measles outbreak in South Carolina. You decided it’d be fun to post a cartoon showing a hillbilly. Your “intent” was to make fun of someone who doesn’t happen to be a fucking computer nerd that makes $80K a year. Making fun of someone because they live in an area that isn’t as affluent as you are is ill intent. Not everyone makes the money you do. Ok?

          This wasn’t some article about a guy standing up saying “Measles ain’t real!” Then he gets it.

          You were proverty/location shaming. You’re free to be offensive, but at least own it.

            What the fuck does money have to do with it? You’re talking to yourself, which must be how you like it.

            Making fun of someone because they live in an area that isn’t as affluent as you are is ill intent

            How “affluent” am I, then? Oh omnipotent one? Ffs shut up.

              I stand by what I said. I don’t think it’s cool to poverty/location shame. But hey, you do you, boo.

                I do. These self styled ignorant hicks have ruined the country.

                  At least you admit it. Also, if they are so ignorant, then how the heck did they outsmart people and ruin the entire country?! lmao

                  You mean no one was clever enough to keep these “ignorant hicks” from causing so much damage?! Hmmm…

                You stand by deliberate misinterpretation to make yourself feel embiggened. Cool.

                Can you stand by being wrong? I mean, more.
