Sorry but I'm really tired of seeing the image of the man on fire everytime i open my lemmy app or reddit etc. PLEASE start tagging it as nsfw. I really really really don't want to see the footage in any way.

My bad. I submitted this through the app and can't find any NSFW option.

It seems the mods got to it, it is marked NSFW now

Do you imagine everyone in charge as moustache-twirling cartoon villains?

I mean, they do seem to be working towards that goal, yeah

Is "go ahead, burn yourself" the new "let them eat cake"?
