I think they just mean turn down the language.

> White mentions lack visual clarity and are incredibly harmful to individuals with visual impairment

"Incredibly Harmful" is hyperbole, and for instance could be rewritten as:

> White mentions lack visual clarity and are hard for individuals with visual impairment to read.

Otherwise what does harmful mean? Here are some examples of things that I perceive as incredibly harmful:

* Huffing glue

* Stabbing yourself

* Lead poisoning

Not being able to read a mention without highlighting it, or selecting a different theme, probably doesn't quite class on the same level as these things, even if it should be fixed.

Similarly, Catastrophic means "involving or causing sudden great damage or suffering" - which isn't meant literally, it's hyperbole, but the problem with hyperbole is that writing containing can come across overly exaggerated and emotional.
