I don't like those comics/jokes/memes/whatever where the premise is "aliens visit Earth and test them to see whether their society is allowed to exist" and the conclusion is that because people on Earth are mean the aliens are completely justified in omniciding us, it's literally one step removed from the narratives of why it was totally okay to, for instance, "bring civilization" to the Americas by massacring the people already there, the only difference is that it's "punching up" in that the reasoning for annihilating Earth is usually "bigotry exists" or "exploitation exists", completely ignoring the fact that the marginalized and exploited are equally subject to annihilation in this hypothetical, because helping the marginalized and exploited doesn't matter nearly as much as punishing the bad people, victims are just props to be abused as a means of justifying violence against their abuser, the actual victim doesn't matter
