I wish people would be more kind

This is just a vent so by all means ignore.

I just made a thread comparing how a story in the game made me feel as a sexual assault victim.

I would not expect everyone to agree with me.
But telling me I’m being against sexual assault victims, by speaking my mind as one…

Well it doesn’t sit right with me.

Disagree by all means.
But don’t invalidate my own lived experiences of being raped.
I mean what the hell?

Sorry again.
Don’t mean to upset people.
Just wanted to put my feelings into words

You mean these? :point_down:

Yeah, I question where did you even come to that conclusion where you compare having to souls split apart (Magic essentially) to being a rape victim. (your thread’s words, not mine.) :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’m sorry that happened to you. Really i am.

But don’t you think maybe… the situations in the game are completely different then what happened to you?.. :man_shrugging:

My mom hates guns. Shes always hated guns. Then in 2012 she suddenly decided she loves guns and its rabidly pro 2A.
Factually, she still hates guns. She just let an election make her want to love guns.
Point?
People will have opinions about crap and a lot of times they dont even know why theyre taking a particular position.
Just say what you have to say and dont worry about what everyones opinions are.

Sorry you had to experience what you experienced. I really am.

But this is place, the trolls, the people, it’s just not the right place for it. Esp If you are looking for some kindness.

We suck here. It’s what we do. Find some friends or family or a support group. People who will actually support you. Not anonymous internet strangers.

To me, having your own actions be out of your control because someone did something to you… it’s just horrid.

And I’m not saying genocide is okay or anything.

But having a large part of your say gone, your ideas or right or wrong gone…

Maybe I am taking it too literally and personally.

But having her say it was all her, even when we saw it wasnt…

It makes me feel like I’m being told every yes was my idea

I mean, the level of horridness you’re talking about depends on the situation here.

Nobody from what i’ve known, compared mind control or being manipulated by words (or however somebody wish to quantify spilt soul) to rape. It’s still horrible, but not that horrible.

I just think it needs a bit of explaining personally.

I mean if you’re mind controlled, you wouldn’t exactly remember what has happened. :man_shrugging:

On behalf of the rude people who said rude stuff to you, I am sorry. While I did think your original post was… let’s just say, “something else”. You are your own individual and I totally understand and respect your feelings. Don’t let yourself get down over a video game. :wink:

Which shows how woefully inappropriate you’re acting and I have a hard time believing that anyone who would continue to push such a narrative was ever a victim.

As someone who absolutely was a victim… I muted that thread and will do the same to this, because I find it very inappropriate.

How that thread still exists is beyond me. I hope both of them are deleted.

Forum is filled with vile goblins.

This sounds a lot more like you looking to conflate your trauma (taking it at face value) and tie it in some way to the game.

Also you are in for a letdown if you expect pity and sympathy from randoms online ESPECIALLY if you aren’t in a place where that kind of support is to be expected…like say a dedicated forum for trauma survivors. In fact you’re pretty much asking to be roasted by making challenging or accusatory threads denouncing the people. Nobody wants to feel attacked or like they’re the bad guy especially in situations where they weren’t active participants.

Again, you probably shouldn’t taken a video game story so seriously to the point where it’s interfering with your daily life.

But you are you, and Sylvanas is Sylvanas.
You are not Sylvanas, her story is completely different than yours.

The subscription model of WoW means that they want to keep players.

They’ve decided that keeping toxic players is worth the decent players they might lose.

And their math might be right.

There is no rage in kindness :rage:

Then,why keep bring the subject up when people are upset about it? In truth this is the third time.

Desperate need for attention and validation.

I wish this too, but your comparison was not great. Just saying.
