Fair enough. The fact I’m personally uncomfortable involving someone’s physical abilities in a rebuttal to a shitty take - even though said take revolved around such - doesn’t mean it’s necessarily wrong. I fear it could be misconstrued (deliberately or not) as attacking the body, not the person - something I am afraid could be used to diminish the strength of our arguments against such crap, but I’ll agree that’s also probably a matter of interpretation.
If someone doesn’t know what the issue is about, why does their opinion matter?
This is the internet, literally anything can be misconstrued. Someone on here called me a nazi yesterday. If you check my modlog I was banned from a community for fascism.
Criticizing a valid, informed statement about an issue that’s challenging people’s identities because of how it might appear is like clutching pearls while your house is on fire.
