    What you’re doing is called ‘whataboutism’. Just because someone voiced an opinion about X doesn’t mean they don’t care about Y or Z.

      Right, but the sudden onrush of “”““concern””“” from a community who’s rhetoric regarding women has been toxic in the past feels phony. You’d have a solid point in a formal debate but this isn’t that. This is the real world where context matters and a community’s prevailing attitudes are fair game for evaluating whether or not their arguments are made in good faith.
