--- Quote from: Shjade on 15 Aug 2017, 17:09 ---How the child chooses to flaunt their much easier life IS their "fault," however.
I don't begrudge rich kids for being born into wealth. Having one show up at my job just to remind me of how much wealthier they are compared to me, however? That sounds like an excellent opportunity for said rich kid to receive some valuable life experience in how to fuck right off.
The problem here is, indeed, in Winslow's approach, especially the where and when of its occurrence.
tl;dr - Winslow has no tact and May isn't the type to pretend he does.

Out of curiosity, does this entitle me to yell at people who say hi to me because they have the audacity to walk around without the assistance of a cane?
I think it'd be very therapeutic for me if I could re-frame my disability as everybody else's problem. Those assholes with their properly functioning hearts and their two kidneys...

Not to mention May's condition is HER OWN DAMN FAULT.
Winslow didn't walk up to someone who's been in a wheelchair going "HEY LOOKIT MY LEGS"
It would be one thing if he was flaunting his "Privilege" in the face of someone that can honestly NOT HELP their current state, but May made her own damn bed, and she gets to lay in it.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 15 Aug 2017, 16:51 ---The problem isn't Winslow's approach, it's May's foul attitude. It's like being mad at a child of wealthy parents because that child gets breaks in life that you may not due to having less wealthy parents. It's not the child's "fault" that their life may be easier simply due to their parentage.

If you can't rejoice with a friend in their good fortune... regardless of your circumstances, you're a shitty friend.

My counterargument to SmilingCat would be this:
I have ulcerative colitis which essentially means I'm allergic to my own intestines. If someone I know, who knew that I had this condition, came up to me and said "Hey, you know what I sure do enjoy having? a well-functioning digestive tract! Look at how many nutrients I can absorb!" I'd call them a dickhead for it, whether or not they were flaunting their intestines or were genuinely grateful for them (I do recognize the absurdity of the metaphor but it's what I got).
My counterargument to Reaver would be that, even if I had caused this condition by diet or drinking or whatever, I'd still call them a dickhead for it.
