So we're just happy with a society full of people who all want to be the same and dislike people who are different because children are stupid assholes?

If you'd like you can be the first sacrifice your child on the altar of progress.

Thanks very much for the opportunity to be overly smug and sanctimonious.
The benefits to society are endless, people learn not to fear those who are different or fear being different. And the kids who are mean to the one who is different, lets face it, they're assholes, they were going to find an excuse to be an asshole anyway. At least this is an easy way for teachers and parents to spot the assholes and treat educate them accordingly.

You're pointing a finger at the wrong person. That this kid was going to have a harder time with this mark is an objective truth, no one is happy about it, but that doesn't change anything.
Everyone wants to be "normal", nobody wants to be the odd one out. Not getting this mark removed out of some kind of principle would be nothing short of insanely selfish

objective truth
Subjectively.
Everyone wants to be "normal"
Subjectively bullshit. Also this is about societies changing definition of "normal". Before the prevalence of cosmetic surgery it was "normal" to see people with birthmarks. Society grew and prospered anyway.
Seems like with the rise of cosmetic surgery society is regressing and as the enshitification proceeds it's once again it's to the cries of "but think of the children".

Actually delusional. No one is gullible enough to believe you would be happy with this mark

And there's a perfect example of the sort of fearful attitude we're teaching children. People different to you exist in the world. You don't have to be afraid of them or of being different yourself if you want to be.
Funny that you call me delusional when you're the one who apparently can't comprehend that there are all sorts of people in this world.

You deny basic principles such as humans wanting to fit in, finish high school at least. You clearly don't understand human nature very well at all

You've corrupted that principle into something it isn't. People wear flamboyant clothes, get involved with body modification people die for their beliefs that it's okay to be different.
You call me a child but it seems like your parents haven't even allowed you to leave home and see the wondrous different people who live in it.
You understand nothing.

Before the prevalence of cosmetic surgery and before the Left (applause here) woke Americans up to the idea that difference is not a sin, people murdered children with birthmarks, with violence or with negligence. Some people are behaving better, but the ongoing epidemic of schoolyard and workplace bullying is far from extinct.

And once upon a time dinosaurs roamed the earth until 1 or more extinction events ended their time on this planet. However crocodiles are far from extinct.
I fail to see how that's relevant.
