From my perspective, I was looking to celebrate all the fantastic work being done to help the worlds most vulnerable beings. The billions of factory farmed animals. The millions of people living in extreme poverty. I wanted to celebrate all the people thinking compassionately about other people, and taking sacrifices, with their own income, or their life’s work, to help others.
So, I would have a preferred an alternative universe where negativity was not posted here, in this specific thread. Feel free to discuss the issue on the many forum posts around that topic.
On one hand, I think that’s a lovely and important sentiment. This community does get bogged down in certain kinds of criticism and theorizing, and likewise can miss out on recognizing the good achieved.
On the other, ignoring “controversial achievements” is… well. A rather slippery concept; what’s controversial to one might be great to another.
Thank you being willing to respond with actual words and not just voting.
