I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

PPB is ableist because the user has IBS

That's a wild one. I'm impressed, brief as it is.

I don't like this being laughed at because the user was being sincere. Maybe it wasn't taken the way they wanted it to be, but it I do remember them saying it wasn't IBS specifically and something different. Probably came from a moment of personal frustration and wasn't made to be a big deal either (as it was completely dropped after the reaction)
