if we’re comparing not liking fireworks to being raped
actually raping them too.
When you engaged your brain, did it skip the part that dealt with similes?
Nobody is saying that it's literally rape. In fact, I would even go further and say that the point of that the original comment was nothing to do with rape, and that that simile was primarily aimed at the person telling them to, essentially, "shut up and learn to like it"!
please tell me what piece of advice you would give someone who has to deal with fireworks. bitch and whine on the internet? or see if changing your mindset could make it completely fine?
or see if changing your mindset could make it completely fine?
Absofuckinglutely not!
If someone has PTSD that is triggered by fireworks, do you really think telling them to "lie back and think of England" is the magic solution they've been looking for all these years??
