Comment on Chat, am I cooked?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 month agoI guess it’s also kinda “woke” by today’s standards, because there’s a story in which a couple of boys make fun of a black kid and get punished by a giant wizard who dips them in ink so they’re black, too.

That one’s awful because their “punishment” is to be made black, making the moral more like, “Don’t make fun of the poor wretch that was born that way.”

I don’t know. It’s punishing with something they themselves think of as a bad thing, not necessarily their judge. It’s not uncommon to punish with the very thing someone hates or what is related to the crime (community service for behaving asocial, for example)
