OK but that's a much different argument from "the cruelty is the point".

The legal perspective doesn't preclude that the cruelty is the point.

Consider the possibility that people might simply have different views from you.

You're right, that is always a possibility for any random thing.

Okay, done. Now you do the same.

I'm looking for the view you guys have beneath all the performative outrage and I haven't been able to discover it yet. For example, this user wasn't able to explain why foreigners shouldn't vote in US elections: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49465747

I think you responded to the wrong post. Try going to your link to respond to a post about your link.

Back to this topic: have you yet considered the possibility that people might simply have different views from you on what constitutes unreasonable cruelty? Doing that consideration yourself might help you understand why people do not agree with you, or take seriously your performative outrage on the matter.
