Thank you for saying this, it’s what I was coming here to do.

Losing their eyesight? Not funny. Not proportional. Just horrific.
Now, if the Nazi fetishizing scam artist asshats that run Bored Ape were blinded by the light at their own convention? That, in my view, would be proportional Schadenfreude.

nazi fetishizing?
not doubting you, but… go on…
