"Asbestos is extremely toxic" and "asbestos can be useful and irreplacable at times" are both true. So are "lead is poisonous" and "tetraetillead is an effective anti-knocking agent, lead in solder stops tin whiskers from forming, and lead paint is pretty".

Also that's how racism got normalized again, after getting closer to putting it back into the cemetery of history. And so is every LGBTQ+-phobia you can name. Or even better: the tobacco industry, the alcohol industry, and the gambling industry all promote "responsible use" of their products.
