Just because something is a social construct doesn't mean it's a bad thing to be ignored.
Being alive is a social construct. Humans decided that some things counted as alive, and other things did not. Nature doesn't care if a bunch of chemical reactions are happening inside a cell, or in a glass tube. It has no objective definition of "alive".

Why is everyone is this comment section saying the same thing? Did I miss the part where they argue it's a bad thing?

The context is a kid using it to get out of doing shit, so I'd say it's a bad thing based on the reason for using the argument.

They said the child was using to "get out of anything and everything", including wearing socks, which implicitly argues it to be a bad thing.
The child is more or less saying that because something is a social construct, that means that they do not have to follow it.

I could see that, thanks.
I still don't understand why there's like a hundred comments saying the same thing slightly differently, looks a bit fake. I don't have the time to go through all of those, but it reminds me of account sellers trying to get some legitimate-looking history. Shame if that's the case
