But here’s one example I remember: the pit thread about someone who was posting about how sexist a movie/tv show was when they hadn’t read it. Several posts defending the OP pulled this bullshit.

[(I’ll edit in a link here.)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/misogyny-and-pop-culture-dont-yuck-my-yum-spoilers-for-the-movie-poor-things/997107)

It’s also fairly common in the Israel/Hamas threads, which I’m not going to go back and reread. Because those are also infuriating.

Also, Beck does it a lot, (and likely has done it to you) but this is not a pit thread for her.
