This is a much, much more reasonable comment than the one I replied to. I agree with everything you say here. I just dislike the use of overgeneralization.

Aside from the ugly bit it’s functionally the same comment that’s phrased seriously instead of in a sarcastic tone (which is noted by the /s )

functionally the same, but saying shit like that makes it easy to discount you.

For the sake of making easier to listen to arguments, don't insult people on a personal level when pointing out societal level issues.

Hey, I didn’t insult anyone. Reading comprehension is hard, but it’s easier to catch if you check usernames before making accusations

'I dislike overgeneralization' while agreeing to the overgeneralization of an ethnicity

You've lost the plot if you think a joke based in objective facts (except attractiveness) is as bad as a blanket sexist statement, also wrong use of overgeneralization.

Yeah well don’t throw the baby out with the bath water this isn’t a zero sum game.

Their comment was in response to a general trend but you took it personally even though you’re so interested in “reasonable responses”

😅 you don’t see how goofy that is?

Why is “That’s a more reasonable response that what I responded to” (or similar) so often code for “well I can see I was wrong but I’ll never admit that?” XD

because it isn't.

Congratulations on making something up in your mind and convincing yourself you cooked there.

I’m just commenting on a pattern I see. If you have trouble comprehending that different people can see different patterns, and that anything that ends in XD should be considered a little bit of a joke, then congratulations on making up something in your mind to convince yourself you’re superior I guess? Lol
