My comment is not arguing for doing things that are bad, but rather poking fun at those that hop on the make believe moral high ground to justify continuing to do something after being told it's harmful.

Like if you find doing something so bad that you have to make up some contrived excuse to morally justify it, wouldn't it be easier on your mind and soul to just not do that action?

And if you don't feel strongly about it, there's no reason to stop doing said action. So why do people make excuses to justify doing something "wrong" that they don't even care about that much? Seems like unironic virtue signalling to do such. Trying to tell everyone how much of a good person they still are, even though they do something that others see as "bad".
