Everyone in here arguing against 4b need to take a look in the mirror. The fact that so many of you are trying push against it is in itself a demonstration of why it's necessary. Respecting bodily autonomy does not have to be hard.
Bodily autonomy is the ability to choose 4b, not the reason to do so. Folks arguing against 4b have not disrespected the ability to do 4b. Therefore bodily autonomy is still respected.
"It's over internet commenter! I have portrayed you negatively in a meme, showing you as the naive you are"
Yes, posting a message on the internet while violating nobody's personal space or rights is exactly the same as that picture. You did it! You won the internet! You can go away now.

FYI, you're on Beehaw. Please be(e) nice. I know it's crazy times right now, I get it, but we do want folks to still abide by our rules and such here. Thanks.
While it took several minutes to find your rules, your "spirit of the rules" document specifically identifies what I did as positive: regardless of the other user fake following the rules the spirit of their post was extremely negative and portrayed the other commenter in a false rude light, which I immediately called him out on and asked him to leave. This is a paradox of intolerance situation and you seem to be on the side of intolerance which I'm not a fan of since your bee nice philosophy appears to be explicitly against it.
First time in a toxicly over-positive online space, eh?
And not even on purpose, just showed up on /all
Cute (I actually laughed, haha), but the assumption that meme makes is that it's clear the gal doesn't want to participate in the conversation due to body language.
There's none of that when you're commenting in a public politics community. You're not posting in a community for 4b, for example. Additionally, you're the one that made the initial comment.
By attempting to talk over and belittle others who respond you're acting like the guy in the meme.
Not trying to argue against the meme, how it's used and understood etc, but: You can't interpret body language from a still image, you need at least like two or three movements, you need to see how someone reacts to their own movements so to speak. She might just as well be going "woah, cool", slight backward surprise movement, and the two are the most wholesome couple you've ever met. Or she actually really wants to get out of there. That's the point: The still image itself is too little information to make the distinction.
