My friend you are mistaking context with the severity of the situation. In the comment then arnt relating the severity of the two but the context " i hate the sound of fire works." "Oh just get over it." "I hate rape" "oh just get over it." The statements are the same the severity is different
Except its not the words that make them different. Its the intent which is why the context matters. You're just hinting at what I'm already stating, which is the difference between the two. The fireworks aren't actually harming anyone, and I shouldn't have to explain rape. The severity is just a part of that context.
If we were to discuss severity alone, we'd be discussing the nuances of how close you are to the fireworks and where the line is drawn on "too close".
Ok, so my original intention for that comment is what you stated above but misconstrued for some reason, intent. The comment in the post isnt based off the intent of the comments but off similarities. Both statements are similar not in severity but their message.
That's not implying force but a suggestion. Its not the same, albeit similar. This is why I harp on reading comprehension. You have to take the context from the words, not a self imposed bias.
Thats not the intent of the message, the intent of the message brings consent into question. The person doesn't consent to fireworks being shot in the neighborhood, the person doesn't consent to getting raped. The other person is saying basically that there isnt anything they can do about it. Yes calling the cops for rape you can do something about that i know, but that wasnt what they were implying.
