@cristo_radio@vintagebones this is the most dishonest description of how humans experience trauma i’ve ever heard lmao.
when we bang our toe we get mad at the wall and our toe still hurts. an honest engagement with this scenario would undoubtedly lead you to a more complicated understanding here
@cristo_radio@archer_rs did the slur do real damage despite the fact it was wholly unintentional? does tourettes have a real cost to those around the afflicted despite it not being the fault of the afflicted?
it would be worth engaging honestly and genuinely with these questions if progress is desired
@albieamankona@CarlonCarpenter if the organizer if the event at which i was stabbed and the man who stabbed me responded to it with “sorry if you were damaged, it wasn’t the intention, thank you for your understanding” i may start to wonder if the harm done was actually in any way understood by them
@albieamankona@CarlonCarpenter if someone with severe schizophrenia grabs a knife and stabs me i can have a very thorough understanding of the lack of true agency that went into the action.
the harm done is not mitigated by this understanding.
