[orange is cracking a joke at a crowd of diverse people who do not seem receptive at all]
Wouldn't it be hilarious if you lost all your rights?
Hypothetically, as a thought experiment
[orange is shaking with laughter, the crowd is looking pissed]
Chill buddies, it's just satire
I was joking haha you fell for my bait
Epic humor moment 100
[zoom on orange's eyes, which seem full of evil intentions]
Maybe a bot or translation, I have no clue what "Watermarks assume the reader is guilty by default and that they won't mention the source." Is possibly supposed to mean
It's not a bot, it's a person who purposefully removes attribution from content they share on Lemmy. It's their entire personality.
Their logic makes no sense (other than being an asshole), so their attempts to justify it make no sense either.

I think more just thinking the best of intentions, than overthinking but I think you're right in this case.
Beep thinks everyone should go out of their way to post a link to the source when they post a comic. Beep thinks if a person doesn't post a link, they're guilty. Beep wants artists to not sign their work, and instead trust users to link to the source when they post a comic.
