It's sad that such memes are still waved through here as funny.

@Savvy_investor_2000 The creator did everything right! Without the meme, I would never have read the post.

And you are even sadder.

@Savvy_investor_2000 I understand what you mean.
But where does it start and where does it end?
You find it sad, others find it funny.

I also can't understand how people pay money to have to see Mario Bart 😅
But there are quite a few of them.

I realize that the meme is problematic and I don't approve of what's happening.
But this inappropriate behavior is precisely the point.

I also don't see why the categorical imperative / golden rule of ethics should be heavily strained here...

If respect is optional for you, then that's fine.

In the picture you see a victim being groped.

I see a power woman in the picture who has a few teeth stuck in her ankles.

Am I being disrespectful because I interpret a picture differently to you?

It's not about what you see in it, but what you signal with it. And the outward effect is the normalization of assault.

@Savvy_investor_2000 but what I am signaling is just as subjective as the interpretation of the picture.

You talk as if you live in an objective reality where everyone interprets everything in the same way.

Just because it signals something for you doesn't mean that it does for others.

Also, are you telling me that you get abusive when you see too many memes because it's normalized for you?

You don't have to be personally abusive for normalization to happen.

In addition, the effect of language and images is created in the social sphere and not just in the mind of the individual.

@Savvy_investor_2000 I completely agree with you.

However, it reminds me strongly of the killer game debate.
And experts actually agreed that individual disposition and social environment are the main factors.

Saying that my meme "normalizes" assault is the same as saying that killer games "normalize" violence.
And the fact that violence is not normalized by killer games is now considered proven.
