I ponder if people are comfortable expressing to someone they just meet that they find them gross? Hmm
My point is there often is nothing to see because that's actively attempting to be hidden. Good normal decent people don't like the feeling of giving people bad news already but when it's bad news about something so personal and also recognizing that not everyone gets dealt the best hand in life?
It's insane to put the entirety of responsibility to "read the room" on one person even if they are the initiator.
This is where social contract comes in. We all need a new modern social contract we can agree on to help us remove these barriers of interaction.
But i guess that's the point of these types of works is to bring attention to that situation. It's a valid observation i think, commentary on it aside for now
