Meanings

   • It was a heart-warming movie about a child overcoming adversity.
   • Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used. 2020 September 24, @pookleblinky, Twitter, archived from the original on 29 Jun 2024:
