    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.

      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.
