But most people would just prefer to swat down ideas on how to get what they want like they're playing Beat Saber. (And I can be sure that someone will come through and accuse me of being insensitive because I haven't considered someone who has X, Y, or Z that only impacts .5% of the population, and almost never the person making the complaint.)
