Say what you mean. I have no idea what your comment is saying without saying.

This article, even as a satire, marginalizes aphantasiacs and gives platform to have our valuable insights drowned out by mockery from within. I have literally watched it happen dozens of times online and IRL. It's half the reason I was chased off of reddit.

The bigotry gets to the point that it is social violence despite peer reviewed studies that have repeatedly shown that people with no visual imagery are not affected by tactics that are designed to manipulate visual imagery

If it's not controversial to say that a deaf man is immune to verbal insults, IT FUCKING SHOULD BE CONTROVERSIAL TO SAY PEOPLE WITH NO VISUAL IMAGERY ARE IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA
