[a foot race is setup in a stadium, in which a confused green character has to start 100m away from the finish line, while a smug orange character starts 10m away from the finish line]

[orange easily finishes first, and smugly proclaims] Another easy win! I am better than everyone!

[green, on all fours, visibly tired and sweating] Well that was unfair…

[orange, covered in medals and holding a trophy, points at green angrily and scolds them] Get a grip What a sore loser You just hate success!

[yellow watches the race on TV, and rants about it from their sofa] If green wanted to win, he should have worked harder Some people are just allergic to effort Entitled… (?) (?)… millenials Always looking for excuses People need to be taught discipline Immigr… (?) Typical green behavior Should seize opportunities Bootstraps Quitter behavior Green people want to be poor

I'm not even sure why the criticism is so highly upvoted; it's literally a crude stickman comic. It feels on par with pointing out the distances between 100m and 50m appear shorter than 50m and 10m. The intent was purely the message, and that gets across perfectly fine.
