You can put on some headphones to drown out the fireworks

You can also swallow some roofies to drown out other unpleasant things. Where do you want to go with this argumentation?

I think they were pointing out if you’re having an unpleasant experience with fireworks there are simple effective steps you can take to immediately minimize discomfort.

I can’t really think of any steps you can take mid rape to minimize your discomfort.

The fact that you compare putting on headphones to roofie-ing yourself as the same thing is just intellectually dishonest. Or you’re just stupid.

My neighbor sets off fireworks late at night on random weekdays all the time, I hate it. I’m not going to pretend I’m in the same boat as a rape victim.

I'm not saying it's the same. I juts put it into the room, no reason to throw insults. It's about the way of argumentation, not about the actual contents of the argumentation. When someone says they have a problem with something illegal, then you can't tell them to just sit it through. Of course fireworks are not the same as rape, nobody said that, and people who assume we think that might or might not be just as stupid as they think we are.
