You’re comparing a human stuttering to a game lagging. You’re saying we can’t get mad at people for being angry when we stutter because we get mad at games when they lag. They aren’t remotely the same thing and is a false equivalence. Games lagging is a malfunction, impersonal and not tied a person’s identity. Stuttering is a neurodevelopment speech impediment, equating the two ignores context, intent and empathy. Getting mad at a game = Anger at malfunctioning system Mad at stuttering = anger at how someone’s brain processes. Not morally equivalent, one’s a human’s unintentional processing of speech and one is a man-made source of entertainment. By your logic I can’t be upset if someone insults my eyesight because I get annoyed when my camera doesn’t focus. That’s a false equivalence
