When someone replies to this and says 'stop making everything political' they mean to tell you to stop challenging the status quo

Okay. But humour me for a second... what if everything wasn't politics? What if there was some place we could go to forget real-world worries and laugh at some funny pictures for a while?
The whole world is caving in around you and all you can look at is a minion meme! /S
Same argument nazis use to justify removing pride from video games. Not cutting it.
Suggested that we laugh and forget our cares for a while. Got compared to a nazi.
It's not my best day on the internet, but at least I have a funny story to tell.
Uh-huh and with a response like that you've dashed any plausible deniability.
Escapism and censorship are different things and I think they were suggesting the former. Turning your head off for a while after a day of politics or activism is very important for my mental health sometimes. As I understand them, that's what they meant at least. If not, meaning they're for strictly prohibiting political things in any way I would agree that this would be bad though!
You're giving them way too much credit on not being reprehensible pieces of shit. The escapism argument is always horseshit masking bigotry.
