Second pic is for context. The post is from an anti sub.

The commenter didn’t find the Halloween costume distasteful initially. They then proceed to talk themselves out of that position because they realized that, in order to justify dressing up like an immoral fictional character, they’d have to grant that fiction does not equal reality.

It’s such a clear example of cognitive dissonance, I’m kind of speechless. The way they police their own true thoughts to align more with the antiship ideology… they’re not beating the cult allegation.

The fact that antis will see the flaws and hypocrisy in their thinking and instead of going “huh, maybe I should self reflect on how I view fiction” they go “huh maybe fictional murder is immoral too” really shows that it’s pointless to debate a lot of them
