(Anonymous) 2012-01-31 07:58 am (UTC)(link)I'm not trying to correctly describe your argument.
That's your job. You chose to defend the rape apologist, you get the burden of explaining why that's okay.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-01 02:28 am (UTC)(link)It would be possible to put together a cogent argument about the relationship between what people see of rape in fiction and how it leads them to regard rape in the real world that leads to the conclusion "therefore we should not be accepting of rape in fiction" - but only one post so far has even come close to doing that. Most of the posts so far simply refuse to accept that there is any difference between rape in fiction and rape in the real world.
Sorry, folks, but throwing tantrums does not change reality for you. And it doesn't even change people's minds. This is why I (speaking as a child sexual abuse survivor) really detest the victim-deifying mentality still so prevalent in survivor culture: survivors are given tacit or sometimes explicit permission to behave in ways that would never be considered acceptable in any other civilized adult. They're encouraged to stoke their hatred towards their abusers, fan those flames higher and harder, encouraged to "let their anger out" primarily at their abusers but also at anyone who "compounds the abuse" by daring to even unwittingly do something the poor saintly survivor finds more difficult to deal with because of their past - in short, they are steered away from acting like mature, healthy adults who have overcome their past and towards behaving like dangerous psychos with no impulse control that it's not safe to be around.
Want what you say about sexual abuse to be listened to, and taken seriously? Here's a really good first step: look like a sane, mature adult who can discuss the subject reasonably. Respond to the argument the other person actually made, not a straw man argument that sorta sounds like what the other person said. Stooping to vituperative personal abuse? Bad idea.
And yes, I know very well that each time you do behave badly - viciously verbally assaulting someone for saying words of support for rape and abuse they never said, screaming at them for daring to question The Word of a Survivor - you get lots of applause for doing so. You know what that's called? Preaching to the choir. Outside the echo chamber that gives you all that approval for flying into fits of righteous rage, people look at the way you're behaving and they say to themselves "are all rape and sex-abuse survivors walking time bombs just waiting to lash out? can any of them discuss things without going psycho?"
What was done to you as a child was bad enough. Letting it keep you from joining the real world as a mature adult - now that is compounding the damage.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-31 07:55 am (UTC)(link)No shit I fucking need therapy. I was fucking RAPED BY MY UNCLE AS A CHILD. And people are playing it off as ~romantic~ and ~I just don't understand it~ if I don't agree.
Go light yourself on fire and jump off a cliff, you fucking shitstain.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-31 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)I really do hope you get the help you need. And I mean that sincerely. Because what happened to you was awful and you deserve to recover from it without assholes like these defending such vile actions.
