If OP’s advice were taken as intended, it would literally undo all morality.
Feeling hot? It’s not the heat’s fault, it’s because you can’t control your body temperature!
Have a termainal illness? It’s not the disease’s fault, it’s because you can’t control your metabolism! You don’t deserve medicine!
Bleeding to death? It’s not the axe murderer’s fault, it’s because you can’t control your blood! Therefore, there’s no reason to make murder illegal!
The worst part is, OP is demanding everyone else “control themselves” (read: destroy a fundamental aspect of their humanity) because he himself is unwilling to. Despite what certain people preach, thinking about the feelings of others is not such an agonizingly difficult task that merely asking one to do it is a crime against humanity; it’s actually quite easy to do.
Or at least, to do better than they’re willing to. Especially since they go out of their way to torture victims and potential victims, in an effort to criminalize victimhood.
Which would have the convenient side effect of absolving them of the responsibility for affecting others in any way. Because if there’s a victim, it’s their fault for being a victim. Even though the alternative is usually impossible.
