Well, your argument in favor of consistent moral principles kinda falls flat when your most important moral principle is something inscrutable in practice.

TIL being anti-war means you must instantly roll over for anyone.

This sounds like it would require a lot of cops.

As it happens, "why bother caring about my body's state if I'll die anyway" is in fact not very convincing counterpoint to me.

I think the moniker "a woman in real life" (as in "those incel gamers have never seen a woman in real life") is meant to acknowledge that Aloy is depicted below the 70th percentile or wherever "less attractive" starts for you.

No, I don't think you'll be convinced by any example of people I'd assume are "woke" advocating for what I consider "basic human decency", since you ask for such an example as if it's supposed to be vanishingly rare.

We're on the motte, if anyone of the two of us is enforcing consensus it's you and your plentiful ideological allies with the "party line" and "manipulative trick" dismissals.
What do you have against basic human decency? What it looks like is exactly the same as wokes getting triggered by a nonmixed heterosexual family because it's a dogwhistle for fascist racism or something.
And if I were, in fact, aiming to manipulate, it's not like I would be cowed by you declaring that you're immune to my manipulations.

I'll be frank, this does look like deliberately seeking to be offended by woke, given that phrasing "male/female" as "body type" is about one of the least intrusive things ever. Are you "exhausted", or are you hypersensitive?

This argument suffers from linking a thread about Aloy having a bodily feature that women are known to have, rather than any examples of her looking mannish or behaving in a masculine manner.

Calling it "just slave morality" is not enough to be able to dismiss the argument out of hand.

This looks very wrong to me. Closing brace being at the same indentation as the start of the block is what makes sense to me.

Had trans women limited themselves to peeing in peace, you might have had an occasional Karen freaking out seeing someone who looks like a man in the women's restroom, but most people wouldn't have cared. My recollection is that this wasn't an issue for many years.
Really? Before the trans debate, do you think men could just occasionally walk into the women's bathroom and pee in peace while only being freaked out at by rare Karens?

Probably not, the way I joined most of my discords is "you're on a more public platform like a subreddit and they have a link to their discord".

That just sounds like an implication you're a gangster who isn't afraid of cops and likely has a blood feud with one, to me.

They're on discord, if my hobby servers are anything to go by.

I don't know why the imperialist faction of western political groups is so intent on finding out where its nuclear one is.
Is that a rhetorical question? It is very useful for an imperialist faction to know where the nuclear line of their enemy actually is, rather than where they say it is.

When a rich and/or important person in USA is convicted and imprisoned in USA, what kind of prison do they go to, exactly? A regular prison for the kind of crime they did, but with extra protection from guards? Some sort of an unofficially "elite" prison for bigwigs? Or do they just throw them into the main population, same as anyone else?

(weird that they didn't have means to detect somebody had been imperiused, but let's not dwell of that, HPs magic system is so full of plot holes).
They could always dose anyone they wanted to question with Veritaserum, the problem in HP society is that the Good Guys can't just impose such measures on the important people.

I've often heard "faith > religion" in various media and opinion outlets, but I don't think I ever heard "religion > faith". Not even from the most contrarian types.
The lowest of upper/upper middle class, from what I've gathered if I'm not mixing it up with fanon. The kind that have to brownnose people like Malfoys to stay at their level.
Senior Crabbe/Goyle are in the Death Eaters so they couldn't have been too lowborn.
If there are about 8000 potential one-phone-call-away-from-billionaires in 8 billion people, and everyone else's call would be worth about 1 "thanks", then the expected value of a phone call assist is about 1b/(8b/8k) = $1000. I pulled the math out of my ass here.
So, this sounds like a good ballpark for an upper limit to your gratitude here.

Is it not charitable anymore to honestly state your opinion on the analogy a user made (as opposed to their beliefs or character)?

Have you tried going "women amirite"? In a joking tone, of course.
They are more like "a separate person and a separate moral considerance" than "this man's property that it's okay to hurt and remove to hurt him", that's the argument.
