I'm a writer for my school's newspaper, and there is a section called 'controversial opinions' (like r/unpopularopinion). And I know this isn't a political sub, and I'm not trying to start a debate on eugenics, just wondering if I'm an asshole for having the opinion I do.

So I wrote in support of eugenics. My article basically covered this:

- One: The 'Hitler liked eugenics' thing- I pointed out this was just Godwin's law essentially, that 'the Nazi's did it' isn't a valid argument, and that they actually misinterpreted the core concept of eugenics. 

- Two: Covered the 'slippery slope argument' of 'if we do eugenics, it's bound to get out of control' as essentially an appeal to consequence 

- Three: Went into the provable benefits of eugenics including lowered disease, and why it would immoral for those with deliberating genetic diseases to reproduce.

I expected it to be unpopular, but it ended up that people actually called me 1) a racist 2) s fascist (even though I explained the difference between ethnic cleansing and eugenics). I didn't expect this, well, visceral reaction, to you know, an opinion piece. 

So, that makes me wonder, aita? Is it my fault?
