      I consider myself liberal, but online liberals love to jump to conclusions to find fault and assume the worst in other people’s comments, then accuse them of being one thing or another. It’s like a reflex, it just happens uncontrollably.

      “Oh, you like Downton Abby? Obviously you’re down with British colonialism and the oppression of third world countries.” Or “You liked Alien Romulus? Is that because you enjoy nonconsensual penetration and forced pregnancies?” Or whatever the hell the topic at hand is.

      It’s like a game of virtue-signaling one-upmanship to show, “Look how much better I am than you. I care about this thing you hadn’t ever considered before.”

        You liked Alien Romulus? Is that because you enjoy nonconsensual penetration and forced pregnancies?

        Yes, this sounds like a real thing that people totally say. Because there’s so much alienophobia and an ongoing genocide against aliens. I’m sorry you’re suffering so badly from this legitimate problem. You are the real victim. smh.
