    I think what is talking about is like everyone now forced to have blue eyes with gene editing so is it considered a type of soft genocide or something.

      Nah, man, forget blue eyes. Think neon purple. With natural blue hair. Fucking anime shit.

      And just imagine what furries will do to themselves once they get their paws on this tech…

      Not saying this is what you’re saying, but it’s attitudes like this that make me see red. We gotta stop letting our society become so atomized that we’ve replaced tribalism with Turbo Tribalism.

          Groups who are so desperate to maintain a group identity that they think something like a child getting cochlear implants or other actual remedies to handicaps is equivalent to “genocide” against their group. (that’s a thing.)

          Everyone is susceptible to this syndrome to some degree, but you see it the most when you see people suggest the possibility of positive change.

            a child getting cochlear implants

            Well, deaf people at least have the argument that they do have their own languages and cultures.

            Of course they lose that argument when they ignore the fact that they can still teach their children their language and culture even if said children can hear, though, so it isn’t a very good argument, but it is an argument, I guess. 🤷‍♂️
