Just because something is a social construct doesn't mean it's a bad thing to be ignored.

Being alive is a social construct. Humans decided that some things counted as alive, and other things did not. Nature doesn't care if a bunch of chemical reactions are happening inside a cell, or in a glass tube. It has no objective definition of "alive".

Why is everyone is this comment section saying the same thing? Did I miss the part where they argue it's a bad thing?

Did I miss the part where they argue it's a bad thing?

The context is a kid using it to get out of doing shit, so I'd say it's a bad thing based on the reason for using the argument.
