As a qualia denier, I sometimes feel like I side more with the Chalmers side of the argument, which at least admits that there's a strong intuition for consciousness. It's not that I think that the realist side is right, but it's that I see the naive physicalists making statements that seem to completely misinterpret the realist's argument.

I don't mean to single you out in particular. However, you state that Mary's room seems uninteresting because Mary is able to predict the "bit pattern" of color qualia. This seems to me to completely miss the point. When you look at the sky and see blue, is it immediately apprehensible as a simple bit pattern? Or does it at least seem to have qualitative properties too?

I'm not sure how to import my argument onto your brain without you at least seeing this intuition, which is something I considered obvious for many years.
