Right, but the sudden onrush of “”““concern””“” from a community who’s rhetoric regarding women has been toxic in the past feels phony. You’d have a solid point in a formal debate but this isn’t that. This is the real world where context matters and a community’s prevailing attitudes are fair game for evaluating whether or not their arguments are made in good faith.
It’s also a group think variant of a straw man fallacy. To attempt to refute an individual’s argument by arguing against group A’s opinion(s) instead of actually addressing the individual or their specific argument.
What you’re doing is called ‘whataboutism’. Just because someone voiced an opinion about X doesn’t mean they don’t care about Y or Z.

Ah, I missed that. Good catch!
What about U and V, and for that matter, W?
