It's not nitpicking when, even if you agree with the core of a point or argument, you take issue with some aspects of a thing. That's just a conversation, and you shouldn't feel bad for interjecting. I don't agree that the subtle bias in question is salient in this particular situation (hugely so in others, definitely), but, you know, it's okay for us to disagree even when we're on the same side. I'm not trying to shut you down or anything, just laying out my personal opinion in the general and the specific; nobody's opinion is winning. I totally reserve the right to be wrong, and somebody could point out why and how I am; I just don't feel that using bias towards socially-palatable progress (hot polgygonal sapphic action) as a springboard for socially-unpalatable progress (fictional faggots frenching) is in this case problematic. I think it's valuable for us to explicate our differences of opinion even when we agree overall: that's how you end up with a more nuanced, accurate viewpoint from multiple experiences; nobody has to feel cut off or shamed for disagreeing on smaller things.
