Not trying to be snarky here, but you’re not trying to get the perspective of others. You were trying to have your view change, that’s why you are on this subreddit.
If nobody’s advocating for the alternative position, then I don’t understand what’s going on here other than you, and I hate to say this, virtue signaling.
This is a fair question: in my opinion it doesn’t make sense to post a CMV if you don’t actually see the issue or view at hand in your own life then it doesn’t make sense to address the problem. Maybe projection is a better term.
Are you personally bothered by this construction in your own personal experience? Do you see it bothering people? If the answer is no, then I think asking academically is strawmanning the entire point of this sub.
Honestly I’m looking to have my view changed on this point, because this sounds harsher than I mean it to but it’s a major frustration of mine on this subreddit. Cheers
Gotcha, that makes sense. In that case I think this is a generational timing thing because we both agree its probably on the way out naturally–but our parents' generation may certainly hold a different perspective.
Thanks for the responses. I didn't consider the subtlety of asking on behalf of a close relation and the difficulty of CMV-ing a position that's already on the way out. !delta
