That's a really sad way of looking at things



Why is that?


It's not a "way of looking at things", it's a statement. A statement cannot be sad, and even if a statement makes someone sad, that doesn't make it false.

edit: yeah, figures. When calling out ElsaGate, I got replies like "your argument is literally 'think of the children'". But in this thread it's all so heartwarming, or respectively turning statements that aren't dripping with soppy general statements that mean nothing into an "attitude" or "way of looking at things" (which remains BS, and reaching 500 karma and finding the downvote button doesn't make that false, either)
