Sorry, I think you’re deep enough in Debate Land that you’ve lost sight of what we’re actually talking about. Take a step back and just look at the original post, and then at the top level comment which this conversation is replying to, and try again.

I guess we just exist in completely separate realities then. In the universe I’m from, the original post is about vegan discussion being banned from a subreddit and the mods of that subreddit justifying killing non-human animals by saying that their lives are worth less than human lives. The top level comment we’re replying to in my universe is a direct criticism of this logic.
Perhaps in your universe the original post is about how the moon is made of cheese and the top level comment is a detailed review of Morbius.
