Remember when the Drive By Media had a GI Joe DOLL as an american soldier held hostage?
How many fake soldiers have been at protest rallys?
We have every reason to not believe this.
Of course it does not matter because the propaganda damage is already done.
Whether it is “fake” or not the idea to be sadistic is unacceptable. It doesn’t matter to me if the person is in a uniform or part of some street gang, using a stuffed puppy - they are GUILTY of laughing and engaging in cruelty. Cruelty is not “funny”. Cruelty is not acceptable. I dont’ know why you are looking to split hairs over this and make it acceptable ... .
yes it is sadistic and because somebody faked it and played your emotions like a violin, some soldeier somewhere is going to be killed in the name of pupplies. (even if it is an already dead puppy)
Even if it's a toy, you think it's cruel? You can't be cruel to a toy anymore than you can be cruel to a brick.
You can make a dumb inappropriate joke with a toy, but you can't be cruel to it.
