      How can I make my text better so you see that I’m trying to show that concepts themselves are not evil and only how you use those concepts make them evil to some subset of living beings?

      I thought making fun of incest was enough.

        We see what you’re trying to do, you’re just failing to convince anyone. There are some objectively bad concepts.

          I don’t know, most concepts are only bad when the recipient is human. We do unimaginable things to bacteria but we(including me) don’t see those as atrocities. Murder is bad but sterilization(mass murder of a colony) of a medical tool is ok.

        Your comment sounded like a defense of eugenics, dude.

          Eugenics(humans) = Currently everyone(I’m here.) but some cults agree that it’s bad.

          Eugenics(animals) = We call it selective breeding/artificial selection and it’s a multimillion dollar industry, which is considered good.

          Eugenics(plants) = We call it agriculture, the backbone of any civilization.

          edit: Bottomline in case you misunderstand me again: Concepts are not inherently evil, how you use them makes them evil to some living beings (or all in some cases).
