Over the years I've seen so many variations of this. "u mad", "triggered", "seethe", "rent free", etc.

I don't know why the internet insists on deriding anyone that reacts strongly to anything. It's something you ought to grow out of after middle school.

Great discussion point.

I'm all for strong reactions. Heated debate, swift actions, deep self reflection. Yes, all welcome. For example, if OP had password protected his site I would applaud.

But my personal views are:

  - strong reactions aren't "justification" to further escalate violence.

  - intentionally using that specific image to inflict harm on people is definitely violence.
So, I'm going to take a moment to advocate for that perspective, Even though I may not sway anyone. After all, silence is acceptance.
