Velma is calling out a concept she finds problematic and not any specific person, and others are over here calling her unintelligent, an "arrogant ass," and a "wokescold." And in the same breath, you're saying she's the one personally attacking people. I think you've contradicted your own argument by name-calling.
It's okay to disagree, but let's try to stay civil while we do that.
Thank you for your comments here. I appreciate it as always <3
Honestly, that's fair. I was feeling pretty frustrated toward the end of the argument, but you're right that I shouldn't have stopped to name-calling.
