#further examine WHY you might be repulsed by it (because the revulsion is so strong that you believe it must be well-founded)

[ID 1: screenshot of a Wikipedia article:

The wisdom of repugnance or appeal to disgust, also known informally as the yuck factor, is the belief that an intuitive (or "deep-seated") negative response to some thing, idea, or practice should be interpreted as evidence for the intrinsically harmful or evil character of that thing. Furthermore, it refers to the notion that wisdom may manifest itself in feelings of disgust towards anything which lacks goodness or wisdom, though the feelings or the reasoning of such 'wisdom' may not be immediately explicable through reason.

#it's important to dig deeper into the source of the disgust actually #sometimes the core is an ethical or moral concern but it's not being articulated because of the overwhelming ick factor #think of something pretty universally gross like literally eating shit is #the concern would be hygiene and disease (which could effect both oneself and others) #but the argument against it can't just be 'it's disgusting' even if we can universally agree that it is #or that we simply don't do it because it goes against a commonly held standard of behavior #there are actually arguments why it's an action people shouldn't do #you have to actually make arguments against it beyond the guy feeling even if the gut feeling might be coming from a legit place #the disgust is a check engine light but it's always possible that the engine is fine and the light itself is faulty /end ID]

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
