For context the person in red (dark red is their sock account) was boasting about mass reporting the artist for art theft on their blog to get them banned from all the sites they’re posting art on so the “I’m not accusing you of art theft” is a lie and they’re trying to keep their trolling civil so it doesn’t get removed
So the mod is threatening to ban someone for defending themself - seems like a dbag thing to do.
It’s the I-don’t-care-who-started-it injustice.
Often people in authority will see injustice and respond as if the real problem was that everyone else disturbed them, failing to even attempt to actually understand the situation first.
This is because power has been shown to cause changes in the brain that make you less capable of empathy.
