Maybe “weaponizing” is a bit more hyperbolic than what I should’ve said, but it was because it was used in the other comment. So I do think we agree on the points that functionally matter anyway (even if they may not actually apply to how things are working). I still think that us all having this kind of discourse is a good thing. As it can be helpful for both the parties directly interacting, along with maybe those that are looking for information. I would rather admit I was misunderstanding/misinformed and learn why. It will still be something I will be concerned about as things grow/develop. But mostly because many things that have turned out to be bad weren’t started with that intention. Like lots of tech things that have come out over the years that only worked the way they should if you were a white male. Not because the coders were actually racist or sexist, but because they didn’t stop and think about testing it outside their bubble
