Just because other people agree with a false equivalency doesn't make it true.
Enforcing bylaws and licensing agreements are two different thing. This meme is about the funimation library issue, which is nothing like an HOA.
The comparison being drawn in this image macro is exactly like an HOA.
Except it isn't.
"We lost your license" is different from "you broke the rules you agreed to"
More like "we decided we don't like you so we'll invent and enforce rules only for you," or "we can't be bothered to sort out our books so we'll just keep levying fines"
That's still different than, "we lost your license".
I'm not defending HOAs at all. They just have nothing to do with the meme.
