Blaming the victim here seems especially low.

First rule of the internet: everyone is a liar.

"It's the internet" is a failed and ruinous attitude that permits bad people (yes, some people are worse than other people in spite of your thought-terminating platitudes). And for what? To feel smug and superior?

Also, false equivalencies that condemn everyone just so you can dismiss individual concerns are old tired shit that should have been retired in the early 2000s.

Second: it's the internet, quit feeding the trolls. Why bother reporting them? They suck, they are going to do it again. Ignore and move on. Internet 101.

That ignorant and failed doctrine is seen as "internet 101" in a way that was such a failure that it lead to the "containment theory" that gradually permitted all of 4chan to become extensions of /pol/ and made it the nazi hive that it is now.

Demonetization works. Look at how relevant Milo Yianopulos is now.

This is a mood, especially the bottom right panel.

No arguments here.

I didnt say anything about trans people in my original comment and deliberately didnt quote the original post as its language disgusts me

So why did you repeat the "mental illness" part?

If you really mean what you're saying just take the L this one time and move on.

was simply pointing out the silliness of that logic

There are many, many ways you could have done that without repeating the bigoted belief that being trans is supposedly a mental illness.

So do you also think it is a mental illness, or are you just being a middle school edgelord?

Anyhow, there's an irony

Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a "hustlegrind sigma mindset" culty way.

"Hating furries" was basically a default personality substitute for the first few decades of common internet use, too.

NFTs.

Cryptocurrency was already a bad idea overall, but at least it had some function and purpose compared to rent-seeking ledger slots that are associated with ugly cartoons.

Wonderful.

I didn't think anything good would be likely to come after so much

I kept reading.

I didn't say "all porn bad." I in fact urged moderation.

i hope i got my point across

Since you had such an ungenerous interpretation of what I said, it's fair game for me to say that claiming "it's (porn in this case) not going to affect the life of the person viewing it unless said person lets it" is naively idealistic and does nothing to actually help anyone that might need help after getting stuck in a rut from excessive hedonic treadmill running, be it from porn or anything else.

(i couldnt find a good meme template)

It's not going to affect the life of the person viewing it unless said person lets it.

Does that apply to compulsive gamblers? "Unless said person lets it" is pretty presumptive and condemns people that may actually have a problem and no longer be able to conjure the willpower to stop whatever the negative habit is.

Taps the sign about moderation

Mario 3 is still a good game today, and I know some kids that weren't anywhere near born when it came out that still loved it.

Nostalgia isn't the only reason to enjoy old games and "the bad" shouldn't be assumed to be there for purposes of false equivalency platitudes. Even just counting predatory monetization, the modern game industry is worse on average than it used to be and its desired profit margins and methods of profit are different and worse than before with a more focused exploitation model.
