    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.

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

            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.
