And I agree - there is a difference between a genuinely abusive scenario, and kids just being whiny or entitled (i.e. my mom kicked out my brother because of his drug abuse, his refusal to get a job or pay rent or finish school, the fact that he was eating all her food and contributing nothing, stealing from her, drinking all day every day, bringing his friends over who were stealing from us, etc. He ended up in a homeless shelter. He considered that abuse/neglect. Nobody else did). The difference between "actual" abuse and an oversensitive kid is only perception, though, because they can still be hurt by it, and that's a problem. The only difference is that in one case, the parent did something abusive and the kid got hurt; in the other case, the parent didn't do anything wrong and the kid still got hurt. It happens, but I'm much more inclined to believe that someone has actually been abused until proven otherwise (for example, like that scenario I mentioned in the other F!S thread the other day with my "friend".. I can't remember if you commented on not). And accusing someone you don't know of lying for sympathy or being oversensitive is at best going to make someone mad at you, and at worst is going to traumatize someone further. And I've almost never met an abuse survivor who wasn't told at some point by at least one person that they were lying, exaggerating, or trying to get attention.
When it comes to SJWs, the thing that bothers me so much about them is that they seem to think it's completely acceptable to insult, trigger, or harass somebody for a real or perceived infraction of any severity (usually not very), and that reeks of hypocrisy to me. Like, why do you think it's okay to potentially traumatize somebody because they did something you don't agree with or think is offensive or tasteless? I'm not sure how many of my posts you've read, but just the other day I saw a SJW on Tumblr get called out for spamming the inbox of a girl with an eating disorder with dozens of pictures of food - just because she didn't like something she said about fat people on her thinspiration blog (newsflash, she has a mental illness). And this is somehow a perfectly reasonable way for them to react, in their minds, because they're doing it for a ~righteous~ cause. Equality means you have to treat everybody with the same respect, even if you disagree with, or dislike, them. It doesn't mean "me and my oppressed friends have the right to never be offended or triggered by anybody, but we can do it to you if we don't like you".
Anyway, this thread isn't really about SJWs, so endrant. But I find it really interesting, like the anon above me pointed out, how many people in here are more offended by the idea of giving someone sympathy who doesn't deserve it than potentially traumatizing somebody who has been physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.

I'm afraid I wasn't there for that. What, exactly, happened?
