Not really. I can't criticize children born in refugee camps or people with severe developmental disorders (cuz everyone would say I'm an uneducated asshole for doing so, and they'd be right). I don't think those are the people with ruling power...
Meanwhile, I can say fuck DT sideways with a cheese grater and get dozens of up votes.
So no, it's not true.
You mean people around you here will not tolerate your intolerance of those who can't defend themselves.
In this case you can criticize, but you choose not to because of social pressure.
This social pressure does not exist for Aotus so criticism is encouraged. A change in venue would dramatically change this. For instance, try posting your distaste for Aotus in a conservative Reddit. Also in that venue they may be accepting of denigrating those with DD.
