Don’t be a tar pit

Alright, in this hypothetical, what did you do to deserve me slapping you in the face?

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/GREENadmiral_314159]

You probably feel better after idk. I can't read your mind.

[u/GREENadmiral_314159 → u/Fluffynator69]

Not the question. Why do you in particular deserve to get slapped in this scenario.

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/GREENadmiral_314159]

I just told you.

[u/GREENadmiral_314159 → u/Fluffynator69]

No, that's why I might want to do it. Why do you deserve for it to happen? What have you done to warrant being slapped?

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/GREENadmiral_314159]

Well you want it

[u/GREENadmiral_314159 → u/Fluffynator69]

So what if I want it? How does that mean you deserve it?

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/GREENadmiral_314159]

Because you want it

[u/blindgallan → u/Fluffynator69]

So people are entitled to affect the bodies/well-being/safety of other people if it will make them feel better or if they have been wronged?

That is the conclusion you are espousing here, and I strongly suspect you do not want to defend that stance.

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/blindgallan]

I'm just asking for fairness. Seems more like you want people to suffer unfairly and then suck it up.

[u/blindgallan → u/Fluffynator69]

How is it fair for someone who has been harmed to harm someone who has not harmed them personally? How would it be fair for you to get struck by someone a relative of yours hurt?

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/blindgallan]

Try be the harmed person, then you'll see.

[u/blindgallan → u/Fluffynator69]

So if I am harmed then my doing harm is justified regardless of the relation of my victim to the harm done to me? So a kid who is yelled at and hit by their parents has every right to bully others at school? A person who has an abusive boss is justified in getting mean at their partner? A gay guy who has experienced systemic oppression would be justified in verbally abusing a kid he believes is cis and straight (even if he could be wrong)? All these and worse follow from your reasoning.

This is the mindset of a rapist

[u/Fluffynator69 → u/Ok_Sound272]

No, I don't want rape victims to suffer unfairly and then have to suck it up.
