"Worth Mocking!" "Is not!" "Is too!"
I know, I know, wank from [info]mock_the_stupid is like shooting ducks in a barrel of honey, but still-

A post is made, mocking a Ugandan AIDS education pamphlet for including what would seem to us to be really obvious information but apparently...isn't to them.

Many commentors think the poster has gone to the wrong place, and aren't really seeing anything worth pointing and LOLing at, considering the actual AIDS education situation in Uganda.

Mod Opalcat, however, isn't at all happy with the people criticizing her decision that it's mockworthy, and after arguing with a handful of commentors in aforelinked threads, posts a comments-locked modpost:

10:32 pm - MTS is not PC. And it isn't going to be.

If you can't live with that, please don't let the door hit ya.

The overkill PC whinging is really fucking tiring. We get it already. Get over it or leave. Honestly.


This brings more comments to the original post, mostly by people venting what they couldn't say in the modpost.

Of course, there are also others who think the mock is perfectly hilarious and are quick to call those who don't oversensitive PC pussies defend the post's merits.

Relatively small, but considering the modpost, I thought it had progressed beyond the clairvoyant stage.

And also means that compassion is uncool.

It's more along the lines of "being an ignorant, bigoted douche is SO EDGE."

And rather than using that edge to off themselves, they think it translates to edgy and cool. It's the obtuseness I expect from really dumb teenagers, or certain parts of stupid_free.

It's not even the cute and harmless immaturity :(

I see it on every stupid_free post that involves going beyond a stereotype and having compassion. It makes me rather pissy, which is why I don't usually read stupid_free.

I feel dirtier reading that than I do reading JF--and this is 18+.
