    Except that in modern culture people tend to call anything they disagree with "abuse", like using a wrong pronoun or not supporting feminism enough. I want to live in a world where…

    Offtopic: it's really weird that it's the end of 2018 and a site called TechCrunch can't figure out how to make a mobile friendly website. Here's how it looks on my iPad Mini (not …
