    I never said that I agreed or disagreed. How you read any disagreement or agreement into my statement is beyond me and whether or not I agree is not at all a relevant point that needs to be brought up. The author’s position is “pretty clear” because the comic is posted in liberal spaces where virtually everyone dislikes Hitler. Social context makes it obvious, but it’s not at all strictly obvious from the logic of the joke and hinges mostly on how “you look great” is interpreted. I point that out and people lose their shit because they interpret messages anywhich way they feel is comfortable and when they’re not able to categorise a statement, potentially because it is rather neutral but contains structured statements in regards to the content of the post, it just makes it seem hostile to them when it’s not in its content.
