Victim Blaming?

[Arkilogue]

That's silly. You don't owe anyone an apology. If someone means something they should state it in an at least somewhat comprehensible way. The op, to me, was fine. Ark said things like "she may as well blame the sun for burning her skin". There's no amount of twisting that can make a statement like that acceptable in reference to a rape victim.

It was an extreme and unskillful example and the point I was trying to make is that rapists occur naturally and are a part of the environment around us. There will always* be those who are predatory to the public at large and rape is another form of stealing only what is stolen cannot be given back. It's energetic theft by physical breaking and entering another persons body.

There are reasonable precautions that can be taken to avoid getting burned and drinking/staying out too long is like reducing the SPF of your skin. Drinking for the rapist increases chance of solar flare which sun block won't help against.

It was a terrible analogy and unskillful presentation, I can imagine a reaction of "to hell with this asshole, I'll drink as much as I want!" and so the branch bears bad fruit with poisonous result, must be cut of and thrown in the mulch heap.

Thank you for your sword.
