like first of all it clearly is a PR spin thing as the rest of the thread goes on to show, so just be honest. also if youre gonna do it for this "sensitive" thing then?? i dont see how the others are legitimate.

abolish x discourse sucks and the messaging is awful, so fine change the messaging and form, but dont pick out just your favorite pet thing lmao. In some ways I like it because its direct and if I don't understand something yet it can give me a clear direction like

"we think x thing is bad, even though you might normally think good" and is useful for delineating a concept. but this requires a ton a ton a ton of charity on the interpreters part, and honestly thats probably a lot of the appeal for most people

I'm all down for conveying things in better ways to help people understand, but yeah this thread is really silly. also the suggestion to be more positive is like yes absolutely thats fantastic, but i feel like youre specifically using that to divert from the negative

criticism that makes you uncomfortable. as ive talked about before tho ofc i love love alternative models and ideas, and rarely do i have to defend this, but negative critique important too! their words imply they would probably agree with me, but i dont love the frame

overall just be consistent idrc which way you express it but dont be weird about your pet issue
