There’s people in this thread saying a gift card isn’t a gift because it has stipulations on how it can be spent. They’re not being super aggressive about it, but still. If you want to find that comment chain check my last post.
I mentioned it on a Discord server and got such responses as “Oh shut up. Let people have agency.” and “It’s just restricting more control from societies most vulnerable group.”
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen anything that aggressive about it outside the Discord server, and it’s the only one that really sticks in memory, but I’ve also seen a few comments in threads here and there sharing the sentiment less aggressively.
Can you provide an example of such complaining?

But it’s also worth noting that any time you talk about doing something selfless, there will be people trying to poke holes to diminish it.

Fair enough.
