I'm not understanding. You're right that it's he same as a section. That was my original point. It's just a section of the store and nobody has to "go to it". It's right next to several legitimate sections that a child would accompany an adult to view, or would visit themselves.

Sure. I don't think either one is claiming in all seriousness they're bringing a child specifically to that section. That's not the point of the reply, nor what the original person is expressing either.

So dismissing the "murder" this way seems like it relies on a misunderstanding.

The reply post calls the OP a "fucking inbred pervert" for bringing their child to the "sexual wellness isle".

I'm not sure where we would have grounds to say that's "ironic".

Let’s be honest, the context of the image doesn’t not change if “isle” were to be replaced with “section” for the pedants out there.

It does, because if it’s an aisle then it’s more likely that you can actually avoid bringing children to it. The fact that it’s a section in an aisle that parents would have many perfectly legitimate reasons for bringing a child through illegitimizes the entire response in the post.

The response is sarcasm, intentionally obtuse in response to an equally extreme statement.

Why, because it’s ignorant to not think items intended to manage sexual health wouldn’t be found in an area explicitly intended to display such items.

Also, one could absolutely avoid bringing children to that section just as easily as if it were an isle.
