Let's play Pick the Cognitive Biases. Not just in the picture, but in the comments and the reasons people downvoted this.

If you see this comment, it could be interesting to get an idea of how many people:
a) Thought OP posted this in like a "Look at how dumb this is" way, or,
b) Thought OP agreed with the idea presented in the image.
I think this might have to do with communication climates (I am so far from an expert in anything) and how a climate of disagreement with peers and prevalent media can affect how a message is received. In other words, if surrounded by stupid people with stupid ideas it's easy to assume the next stupid idea has come from a stupid person.
