There are a lot of flagged comments at the bottom


Yeah, even in those. There was like one low effort obvious troll, others are just self-expressing their dislike, pretty similar to many others here expressing their like of the stickers or the website with similar kind of quips.

I tend to just scroll on if I don't like something, rather than commenting about it. But I would be lying if I said I've never done it. It's a very human thing, on a forum like this that invites open discussion about things it is fine, and pretty obviously if the pictures have a bunch of political messages on them you would not be flabbergasted to see a some political comments. Maybe the comments are cringy, silly, wrong, not aligned with your beliefs, or unnecessary, but seeing hostility in disagreement or dislike is a pretty bad place to be.


Ah, yes, downvoted and flagged comments is how I know someone is wrong and not worth reading.


I was simply pointing out that most people cannot even see the content of those messages so they might have just missed them.

I'm not sure why you interpreted my comment in the way that you did.
