  So you’re lacking in empathy. Acknowledging something is an important first step.

  I imagine that if you had a dog you wouldn’t be “womp womp” about torturing it two or three times a year.

  Or if you had a friend with PTSD, you wouldn’t go out of your way to aggravate that a couple times a year.

  Certainly not for an extremely mild form of entertainment.

    These were not the arguments you presented. Those arguments I am more empathetic to. You said:

    I don’t like the loud noises, the smoke, or the debris leftover.

    To which I want to say “Womp Womp”

      People don’t like the loud noises because they terrify their dog or trigger PTSD.

        That’s not as simple as not liking it, that’s having a specific complaint. Which wasn’t what was said
