As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

    That’s a false equivalence. “Stupid” isn’t the same as any of the words in the diagnosis “mental retardation” (recently updated to intellectual disability). Your example would work better if you did it like this:

    Like me saying that you’re retarded shouldn’t imply that you have mental retardation.

    There, that’s a much closer analogy. Do you still stand by your point if we use a proper equivalence?
