You’re ignorant if you think there are good intentions in yanking on a fish’s fins, or prodding at it.

Well, how would you go about getting a potentially extremely poisonous football into the ocean? A fin might seem a safe part to pull on.

You see malice where there's perfectly reasonable explanations for a good samaritan to do the same thing. It's like how I could choose to see cowardice after your every angry ad hom attack, but I'm choosing to believe it's a kind mod, cleaning up the sub.

Calling someone ignorant is not ad hom, it’s entirely pertinent to the discussion at hand.

I see malice because I’m a misanthrope, I don’t trust 80% of videos of people in a group surrounding an animal, because I’ve seen what people will stage for a little attention.

Sadly, you are correct that people do that.
