    Just wanted to say that I love this comment, and it’s a shame that so few people share this sentiment. Thank you for this.

    I was actually just having an argument with my brother about this less than a month ago. Not this exact story, but a similar one where I was sad for everyone involved. He also fell into the “x is worse than y, so we shouldn’t care about y” mindset.

    I didn’t realize there was a name for that, so thank you for that too!
