          The comment you’re replying to has got to be a bot. Like, wtf? What kind of sick individual calls it derogatory to say, “Hey, let’s not mutilate childrens’ genitals.”

          Tell me youre a fucked up psychopath with telling me.

              What the actual fuck does being a white supremacist have to do with male genitals mutilation?

              Let’s put it this way. If your cultural, religious, or ideological leanings require you to cut off foreskins or clitoral hoods off unconsenting children, youre a sick fuck.

              If you dont have those cultural, religious, or ideological leanings, and you just enjoy watching children get mutilated, youre a sick fuck.

              White supremacists and child circumcision enthusiasts such as yourself are all sick fucks.

                This entire debate has gained traction over the last 10-15 years, largely because European white nationalists have been promoting anti-immigration legislation in several EU countries, in response to the influx of Syrian refugees after the Arab Spring.

                They thought that by passing anti-circumcision laws in their countries, those immigrants would choose to settle elsewhere. All they had to do, was amplify and promote pseudo-scientific studies proclaiming the “evils” of “male genital mutilation” in order to turn public support in their favor.

                It worked like a charm. Now all you guys are repeating the same racist bullshit, without even realizing where you got it from.

                  That’s a really stupid fucking take on the situation. The mutilation is unnecessary and evil, you insipid little cretin.

                  We’re all against it because it puts children in pointless amount of pain for unnecessary medical procedures for something that doesn’t need to be removed.

                  Please kindly stfu.

                    You can always tell when someone has lost an argument, once they resort to ad hominem attacks.

            It is not derogatory. The word means:

            “… or disfigure, especially by cutting off tissue or body parts.”

            from Latin mutilātus (past participle of mutilāre “to cut off, maim”)

              Exactly. You are basically saying that circumcised men are disfigured. Are you aware of how inherently negative that description is for circumcised men? Does it not bother you to refer to other men with such disdain and disrespect?

                    It’s so painfully obvious that you are taking this discussion personally. Go touch grass. It’s not your fault that you were disfigured.

                You’ve got the wrong person. The only thing I did was deliver to you the dictionary definition of the word mutilate. I made no other claims, expressions, or comments on the topic at hand.

                You have shifted to a common logical fallacy called the Straw Man argument. This attempt has failed.

                This conversation is over.

                  So, let me see if I understand you…

                  You post the definition of “mutilation” in response to a previous comment…

                  …I assumed, in good faith…that that was your position on that topic (because why else would you have posted it?)

                  …and now you’re attempting to distance yourself from that position, by pretending that I’m the one misrepresenting what you posted?

                  Buddy…that is a form of strawman argument. You’re now intentionally misrepresenting your own position, in order to misrepresent my response to it.

                Maybe stop actively supporting the permanent disfiguring of newborns and we might show even your mutilated dick some respect?

                And yes, all circumcised men are disfigured.
