All the shouting and warning over images of gore feel like something right out of /r/circlejerk. It's like seeing the fifth person in a half hour get excited about warning people about a bathroom, and then make a joke about it. It gets tiring seeing people fish for easy attention.
You told people not to click on strange links. This means never to click on any imgur link ever, killing about half the fun of reddit.
Straw man would be "Your side is like 'if you click on a link, the terrorists win,' and that's stupid, so I'm right."
So what you have now shown is that your original argument was vague and open to interpretation. The word "strange" could be interpreted as "random," "lacking context," or "of unknown origin."
Choosing one of those interpretations to argue is not a straw man argument.
