Edit: wow why is Michael getting downvoted though, wtf?
Perhaps people didn’t like the cult-ish comparison? But criticising someone for saying they are feeling something is cult-ish is, um, well, pretty cult-ish...
Or perhaps it’s people who can’t properly distinguish between “criticising because you care and want to improve something” and “criticising to be mean” and mistakenly assume I’m doing the latter (despite my strenuous attempts to make it clear I am doing the former).
I sort of guess the second thing?; although I never downvoted at least I felt a little defensive and negative about “tone-deaf, indeed chilling” and didn’t upvote despite having found your comment useful!

(I’ve now noticed the discrepancy and upvoted it)
