And my vote still counts the same as yours. Your intelligence doesn't mean anything.

Did you parse that comment literally? I took it to be sarcastic.

I feel like I'm losing my mind sometimes how people assume the most absurd troll comments are sincere and real. They've kept up the bit in replies too.

They agreed with the statement, then added an example of being a bystander to something clearly wrong where they chose not to interfere. As a result, the bad thing continued, and the commentor did not care so long as it stopped affecting them. It is really not hard to see the thinly-veiled analogy. And yet people point out the problematic nature of the story, likely after supporting the idea it is parodying.
