I don't want people getting ideas that She-Ra is a good show or that memes featuring it are worth making, because then more people will post it. Right now, my PTSD is under control because I know someone's been triggering me on purpose. If I make sure to inform people that idealised images of dictatorships are bad, then there's less risk other people will join in the supposedly "harmless" fun.
