Personally I’m not a fan of comparing misfortunes as a way to feel better or worse about your own but I also think it’s basically a cultural thing that people do without really meaning any harm and something that you can’t expect everyone to have really thought about and corrected.
Comment on Knowing 'what's right and wrong', Virginia Giuffre refused to be silent
otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks agoAll due respect, but I read your comment as trivializing her lengthy, arduous battle with suicide, and I’d very much like to give you the benefit of the doubt — not only for the benefit of those who thankfully have no idea what it’s like, but most of all for those that do. 🙇🏽♂️

Unintentional harm is still harm. Ever try starting an apology with, “I didn’t mean to, but…”? Same reason why trying to explain why your culpability is lessened by your lack of intent toward the results of your actions might not be the best choice.

Awwww bub, did sum peeps downvote you
Awwww noooo you’re soooooo hard done to.
You’re a weirdo and sad. Go back to Reddit and be a dick there buddy.

I’m sorry but…how do you read it that way? To me it comes across quite clearly as just the opposite, and your comment comes across as incredibly rude and looking for a fight. I suspect that’s also where the downvotes came from.

How compassionate. Well done, all. Bye, silly island. 😗

I’m sorry but I genuinely don’t understand what you’re saying here.
My above comment was not meant rhetorically by the way. I genuinely don’t understand how you read Dia’s comment as trivialising, and I would like to understand.

Thanks Zag. Jesus I had a completely fucked day in so many ways, then I read about that poor girls misfortune. It made me realise that I’m ok in the big picture. As you’re aware I wasn’t trivialising anything. Some people just need to be a bit of a shit cunt I suppose.
Apart from that, I hope life has been treating you well.

Yeah bye, don’t come back.

Cmon Dia, that was unnecessary. You had the opportunity here to be the better man. Why not take it?
