This is not a perfect analogy by any means but what I'm trying to say is that 1) current debates often do not reflect real-life happenings because they are not nuanced enough but 2) one cannot use nuance as defense for (supporting) genuinely hurtful behavior and must take accountability for doing so

anxious or something and continue to let it seriously injure anyone who interacts with it, then I am complicit in that damage being done. It is my responsibility as a cat owner, then, to take steps toward fixing the cat's behavior, or if I can't do that, then give it to someone who can help.+

reprehensible behavior. If I'm a cat lover, but my cat attacks everyone it meets and I do nothing about it, then I am responsible for that. It doesn't mean that I don't have to be a cat lover, but it does mean that I should take accountability for my cat's actions. If I defend my cat as just being+

life in general) people are quick to jump to conclusions, thinking that if one thing is true about a person and/or their perspective/opinion on something, then other things can be assumed about them, when this is not at all true.

all cats are perfect? No. Does my liking cats mean I think those that prefer dogs are lesser than? No.
My preference of cats over dogs does not immediately disqualify me from sympathizing with dogs or dog lovers, nor does it automatically mean I hate dogs. But it often seems in politics (and in+

I prefer cats because they're more self-sufficient, don't need to be taken outside, and are cuter in my opinion.
Does my liking cats erase the fact that I also like dogs and love my own dog very much? No. Does my liking cats mean I think all dogs should die? No. Does my liking cats mean I think+

as to maintain political neutrality (especially because I think all sides of a given issue struggle to consider nuanced perspectives).
It can be true that I love my dog very much and would never do anything to hurt him, but that I also consider myself more of a cat person. I still like dogs, but+
