Why post 3 variations on the same meme in such a short window of time? Is it because the UnpopularOpinion community didn't care for your weird post about only being able to like things that ultimately increase one's chances of procreation?

I don't think anyone in this thread is saying that you aren't making the choice to not let someone die.
People are just expecting you to be able to handle being asked, "Why did you let 10 people die when there was an option for you to only let 1 person die instead?"
The trolley being on the warpath isn't your fault; but you did have the option to reduce the number of deaths by taking action. Through your choice, an objectively larger number of people suffered, died, or lost a loved one. And for some actual reason you didn't pull the lever other than "I'm not a murderer."
We understand you aren't a murderer. You aren't intending to hurt anyone. But through your action, you can reduce the number of people murdered. Don't be surprised when people are confused at your lack of rationale.
