An intentionally huge jump, in order to illustrate why your take was bad by extending it to a similar but more clearly wrong action. If your opinion led to you acting this way in this case, would the same opinion lead to this other thing? Both actions are wrong for the same reasons, just different in magnitude.

Additionally, if you'd bothered to check that community, the posts link to Randall's actual site. You still have to visit it. This was how r/xkcd did it too. No-one is posting just the image files.
