"because...it is totally the same thing across regions and history." The problem is that the appeal to emotions harms rational debate. If we cannot recognize regions and times in history are different, we cannot have a rational discussion without one side being "sickened". Contextual, region-based differences are a real thing.

Oh, it's worse. It's the typical "you only don't share my opinion because you are ignorant, not because you could reasonably disagree with me"
