It's weird how people argue "can't you the gains we've made in terms of civil rights" and the other side goes "yes we acknowledge that but we still have some ways to go" and they still go "yeah... but we've come so far, isn't that good enough?"

Like it's weird the selectivity of what things we should aspire to be greater at.

Yeah but there are worse arguments made other places, so you can't complain.

The worst argument is saying that you can't criticize something because "let's see you do better!"

No, I'm not a better director than _____, but I can still say they make s*** movies

Oh so it's very similar to the classic "There are worse places/It's worse in other places". Got it.

"If you don't like it don't buy"

No you idiot I do like it I just don't think it something that shouldn't be free/expenesive (mostly about DLC/microtransactions)

Sure, but whether or not something "goes too far" is independent of how it started.

The thing I love about the "How dare you complain about X when Y is worse" argument is that the person making it is complaining about an even more minor issue- the fact that you're complaining.

So if complaining about buggy video games means you don't care about starving refugees, then complaining about people complaining must mean you don't give a s*** about anything.

Another example is "Real Oppression looks like <X>".

Like, "how dare you complain about losing your right to an abortion, there are women who are forced to cover their bodies from head to toe".

Or "How dare you complain about the rape rates in America, in this other country, women are raped MUCH more!"

And so forth.
