    Do you have a problem putting your hand into a toilet bowl filled with shit and piss? If so, what’s the issue? Just wash your hand afterwards.

    The issue isn’t that your hand will be forever tainted. Disgusting things are disgusting, even if they don’t have a lasting impact.

        Brackish dish water smells too. Your hand shouldn’t smell anymore after you wash it. So what’s the difference?

                I’m not trying to “own” you, don’t be childish. My whole point is: people find things disgusting even if they don’t leave a permanent mark. For you, the threshold is somewhere between brackish dish water and a filled toilet bowl. For other people it’s below brackish dish water. Just accept that other people find things disgusting that you don’t find disgusting, don’t try to tell them “but it doesn’t leave a permanent mark, what’s the issue”.
