Why does this sound like an anti-vaxx argument
Why are you choosing to shoehorn politics in where none existed? And which have nothing at all to do with a hypothetical scenario about science fiction technology?

I'm not gonna argue with people who can't resist shoving political shit into everything and hafta stretch really hard to disrupt an otherwise pleasant and polite conversation about teleporting. Not to mention putting words in people's mouths that never existed.

You could've just not responded. Nothing was a superior option here.

The point of saying "where are the politics" is to underscore that there is no reason for fact-based science to become political.

Maybe in the sense of "how do we proceed with the knowledge we have from science? Do we focus on X or Y?" sure.
But not in the sense of "Nah, I just don't think those facts are real and here's what I think is REALLY happening /tinfoil"

And pretty much everyone (except lil_bit83) was fine with the equating of "maybe I shouldn't use the teleport because of unknown side effects" and "vaccines are bad because they cause XXXX".

So it seems that FFDragon understood the implied politics of vaccination but was making light of it, but then you responded to him earnestly.

So kevwaffles said "woosh" implying that the actual intent of his (FFD's) post went over your head.

"woosh" is commonly used for such circumstances as it denotes the sound that something might make as it flies by you.

I hope that explanation was sufficient.

I was thinking your molecular structure getting fucked up, being put back together wrong, missing body parts, or cancer from constant exposure of cosmic radiation. Why the hell am I getting jumped on because some shit-stirrers wanted to falsely accuse me of being an anti-vaxxer out of nowhere and me telling them off?

pointing out that your argument could also be made by antivaxxers is not a claim that you are an antivaxxer, it's addressing the logic used

i don't think anybody actually considered you antivaxx until you did the "shoehorning politics" phrase which is just a weirdly defensive sidestep

Hey, back on the whole teleporter thing, I'd prefer more of a portal gun technology. Maybe like a farcaster from Hyperion. Less demolecularization and more wormholishness.

Yeah I could get behind portal gun. Being able to tie two spaces together makes it seamless in an important way for me

The idea of the "horseless carriage" existed for centuries before cars and was very off-putting to most.
