    In your example, you can still say “everyone can learn to paint” because of accessibility options for those without arms or whatever.

    “Everyone can run” is an objectively false statement that better illustrates the point this user is trying to make.

    Not only is it easy to alter what you say to be more inclusive (of you’re not being an asshole about it), it also makes for better content.

    Say I want to make a video about playing games on the Switch. “Anybody can play this game!” I might say. Then I can take a minute to discuss accessibility options for people who, say, only have use of one hand. “You can buy this modified Switch controller for a mere ten dollars online, which allows for one-handed play, and after some practice, is pretty easy to use!”

    Better, more interesting content without being an exclusionary dickhole.
