I never said I wanted to save the whole world or every person or anything like that-- I realize that no one can do that on their own. I write about my experience because if I can help even one person, then that's enough. And I have gotten responses from people who couldn't tell their stories, and that's all that I need. Yes, the fact is that a lot of people who survive sexual abuse do react in the ways that their abusers would want them to. That's the whole point of speaking out-- because there is such a huge social stigma against it, any breaking of silence is a radical political action. Even mentioning it just a little bit made you (and several other people in this thread) obviously uncomfortable, so I think I'm doing a pretty good job. Honestly, I'm not surprised to encounter people like you, because it's an unfortunate fact that the status quo is run on cynicism and self-interest. It's funny, however, that you use the "computer screen bravery" argument, because you're doing the exact same thing that you accuse me of. So let me just say that you don't know a thing about me, and you don't know who I am or what I've experienced. You can laugh all you want, but it isn't going to change the fact that I'm doing what I feel is right. To be honest, I feel really sorry for you-- you must live a terribly sad life if you're that selfish and uncaring about other people. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take advantage of that convenient "ignore" feature and not waste any more time on you. Have a nice day. <3 Edit: I wanted to add a little note in case I seem rude to gilly78228 -- i didn't mean to hijack your thread. Sorry about that, it just kind of happened. Hope this doesn't sour your impression of TouchArcade.
That's surprisingly insightful for Dave Chappelle, haha. Usually I find something wrong with his material, but that was really good.
