they would title it “Since you want to act like a baby” and post this, i always thought it was pretty funny so im posting it here

    Its not a great look given how much of a failure the gonzalites are.
    Also pretty tasteless given that the gonzalites did actually murder children (Although i don’t think the boiling thing is verified? Someone with more knowledge on the subject could weigh in)

      AFAIK they didn’t actually boil children. They did kill children and they did scald adults with boiling water. The “boiling babies” meme is a combination of these two facts, I think.

      Regarding the emoji, I agree the gonzalites failed and did terrible things, but we have many emoji of people who failed or did terrible things. I don’t think an emoji is an endorsement, and I expect this one would be used to mock people supporting Gonzalo rather than anything else.
