[DEVILS_LAMENT]: when you go and say that an entire species has "inherent flaws" you throw individual people, including people who may be listening, under the bus
[DEVILS_LAMENT]: even when you are a member of that species that can be incredibly insensitive at best if not psychologically damaging at worse, especially if a member of that species is particularly vulnerable or susceptible to triggers or say, experiences disabilities
[DEVILS_LAMENT]: as a social worker it's my job to help deal with clients (albeit indirectly) that go through a lot of hell and being told "hey, our kind is kind of fucked up inherently and so are you" would just make them want to give up instead of push through what is very possibly one of the hardest times in their lives
[DEVILS_LAMENT]: so yes some species are dealt a bad hand but it does not help to push a narrative that some species are more """"flawed""""" than others
