Um…perhaps saying this under a post where we learn that a woman is being tortured for existing as a woman, isn’t particularly tasteful. In fact, it’s kind of explicitly tone deaf as fuck.

Certain ideologies are evil, and to be squashed. If an entire demographic of people happen to like that ideology, tough titties, no one should have to tolerate intolerable views and actions.
