My friend doesn't get it.

Hypothesis: the message seems to imply that the cliche nature lover needs to trample and destroy said nature to be close to it.

This seems the most likely explanation to me.

And I find it neither funny nor insightful.

Edit: I can't manage to copy paste usernames on mobile but please check out the refinement by the comment to this post. Highly valuable edition. Tldr of it: not "nature lovers" in general but social media invasive nature lovers.

It's not so much nature lovers but social media "content creators" who are criticized here.

There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can't find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.

Oh. That would explain the hashtags. I'll edit my comment to point out yours!

Thanks!
