When you tell people obvious things, sometimes it comes across as condescending. From the downvotes it's clear I'm not the only person to see it that way

I've seen too many threads about obese pets where people with obese pets make excuses for their abuse and normalise their behaviour amongst themselves.

Pointing out 'the obvious' and calling it abuse whenever I see these threads, has become part of how I interact online and something I appreciate when I see others do it.

I genuinely didn't realise that the users here were so in agreement with this viewpoint as to find it condescending to see it pointed out. This is really nice to hear, despite the downvotes.
