"I was gonna, but then I decided to just call you toxic cause I don't like the things you said, and this way I don't actually have to have a nuanced opinion or refute anything."
but at least you got to feel morally superior for a bit after posting, right?
I specified the behavior that I don't like, and have said what I had to say. Further rebuttal would be pointless, because you can't argue with stupid.
And another reason I didn't put so much effort in is because that comment made me mad. This person managed to smear two separate groups of people in the same paragraph, quite thoroughly, while also being incredibly narrow. I don't think that the descriptions actually represent the majority of these two groups of people. Perhaps it does describe some of the people in the middle of the Venn diagram, but certainly not all. You can't just go around accusing entire groups of people of being "bad". That makes you no better than Trump.
You didnt put any effort in, you saw something you didn't like because you disagree so you just decided to pretend to have some sort of bag of tricks to prove your point, for some inane reason.
