I hate arguments that say “X isn’t real” and mean “X doesn’t matter.” I just saw someone argue that racism against white people isn’t real, and sure, that’s an argument you could plausibly make. But their support was that racism against white people isn’t institutional. That’s a point for why racism against white people doesn’t matter and doesn’t make an impact! If you want to argue that racism against white people isn’t real, there are better points you could use!

I had a dream about monsters

Werewolves hate fighting vampires under any circumstances, but what they really hate is trying to take them “alive.” See, werewolves tend to be pretty dang huge. A typical takedown tactic is just to grapple someone and not let go. That doesn’t work when your target can turn into a cloud of angry bats.
