Luca Visentin (mrhedmad@genomic.social)'s status on Monday, 14-Oct-2024 21:08:15 JST Luca Visentin @aby I will seem like an asshole, but this comment is genuine. While this might wery well be true, providing anecdotal evidence to support the notion that every (or most) white cis men are like this, and then immediately saying "This is not a debate", or "White, cis men need not comment" sounds toxic to me.
As we are dealing with anecdotes, I tend to say yes to all of my friends, including female ones.
The argument might very well be sound, but it's being handled poorly.

Luca Visentin (mrhedmad@genomic.social)'s status on Monday, 14-Oct-2024 21:08:12 JST Luca Visentin @unspeaker My point is that you can't bring anecdotal evidence to prove a point. My own anecdotal evidence is there to show how stupid it is to prove a point by bringing just anecdotal evidence.
I used "toxic" as I thought it would be a good word to sum up what is a multiple-post-long piece, sorry if it came through as minimizing.
As I said before - I'm not arguing that what OP said is wrong, just that the evidence she is bringing to the table is weak.
