You'll note I specified they were both at fault.

Your false equivalence is disgusting.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Your ability to take offence at things that weren't said nor implied is astounding.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

both sides appear to be badly at fault, with the girl as the instigator.

not said or implied ?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Saying that all parties involved have done shitty stuff does not in any way imply they were all equally shitty. You added the equivalence part on your own.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I didn't add anything. Look at my username.


In response to the rest:

It also didn't imply the shittyness was unevenly distributed.

If that's what you mean, say as much, then you'll have no cause to be upset at other interpretations of your ambiguous statements.

Or not, you do you.

There's nothing ambiguous about a statement which made no mention or attempt at comparison of degrees of shittiness. The other commentor decided to come in and start an argument about an aspect of the topic which I had not touched on in an any way or form. They can sod off

[–] Senal@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

At least two separate people have thought it was ambiguous enough to ask about it.

You seem to feel strongly that it isn't so I'll personally just chalk it up to a skinner moment for you and duck out.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

It was on display.

You are correct. What sends OP and me off, is that stating that when wrongdoings are so inequal, it can be perceived as equating one to another. I was thinking about posting my readings on that, and I wanted to highlight that, as quoted, cases would be followed on and judged separately, is a just way to do that. Girls aren't relieved from consequencies, and these violent mofos aren't either. And while that states just as much as your comm, it doesn't sound any alarms.
