I don't think you're being unfair, I think you are confusing straight up facts with no opinion bias whatsoever as positive, when in fact it's just neutral. I didn't put anything that sheds a positive or negative light on him on purpose. The fact that you are so angry and hateful towards him that you can't see anything but glowing positives from what I wrote is a you problem.
I didn't say you were claiming to be neutral, I said your perception of what neutral is is skewed. You get mad at me for not using a single opinionated word or descriptor both good and bad,, and list angrily a bunch of negative words and descriptors that you're mad I left out, then tell me yeah I'm more neutral than you are but I should be less neutral and more negative?
Seriously, it's not healthy or intelligent to be so skewed you can't tell the difference.
If you're trying to claim that a series of carefully selected "neutral" facts don't create a narrative then you're either being purposefully obtuse or extremely naive.
I note that you haven't aknowledged that bill C-16 doesn't create any protections for trans people that don't already exist for other minorities and I think that says a lot about this conversation.
Lastly, when reality paints a deeply negative picture of someone, "neutral facts" must reflect that reality. Painting a bad person in a "neutral" light is not being unbiased. If I said of the unibomber that he was "an esoteric reclusive mathematician who was eventually arrested due to his anti-technology views" that's a bunch of neutral facts, but it's deeply biased to paint a terrorist murderer in a "neutral light". Unbiased facts must reflect the murderous reality of his actions.
You do you, call me what you want, rail against what I've written and have a great day. :)
