I missed the point here. @DotDotDot is also correct in saying that I'm making unfair assumptions.

Brian Singer. Which is how this all started with Fluffy Fluffster.

In the end, I'm grossly offended by people who write about sexual assaults in media but (a) have little or no understanding of sexual assault or a direct personal experience of it (I do, but you can call me a liar or a braggart, fine) and (b) do not do any physical work to help a cause they say they so dearly care

Nope. But writing about rape in a fantasy setting, ignoring rape in a reality setting, and also not actually doing physical work to help that cause seems really shitty to me.

See all the edits with text

Not my point. If Sonia really gives a shit about rape — and I do believe she does! — write about it *across the board* AND actually volunteer.

This means helping them coordinate temporary shelter AND frantically calling/texting for food/clothing/appliances/toys AND running to goodwill to purchase items that are not able to be collected through quick donations.

And by "they" I need to point out that I don't agree with Fluffy's "feminist" point as I think this a problem for shallow people in general who write/share shit without doing anything of value.

This is where not taking a breath and thinking before writing really gets conversations off to a bad start. I am sorry @DotDotDot

Are you talking about the Singer article? Yes, the egregious pro-rape or trolling comments were deleted from it. But I think Fluffster is saying that THIS author (i.e. Sonia) didn't weigh in on a rape that happened in reality, which seems odd given that this is strictly fantasy.

And I see "

Count to 10. That is my new mantra. Write more coherent sentences and don't inadvertently convey the exact opposite of what you mean.

I know, I know.

ADULTS SHOULDN'T FEEL OK HAVING ADULT SEX PARTIES WHERE THEY INVITE YOUNG PEOPLE TO THEM

No, I was just embarrassed that I worded that so poorly as for people to think that I was naive about predators and such :)

I hate when brilliant comments get buried like this.

I did go overboard in the original post, yes. Kneejerk reaction.

Thanks…I was REALLY embarrassed afterwards!

How man cases, exactly?
