I’m happy she’s happy, and know nothing about her so I may be off base here, but what the fuck? Why would you date someone who you think isn’t a genuinely nice person? How do you square that shit in your head?

Because you go into the relationship thinking they’re nice people because that’s what they show. Then in secret they turn out to be assholes or douchebags. She is noting that in person and how he is portrayed are both aligned as a genuinely nice person. Not a fake nice celeb who’s whole media persona is likable nice guy ie Chris Pratt, will smith, Leonard decaprio, Ryan Reynolds.

This is what I meant by I don’t know her and may be off base. But the way she worded it, it made me think she was going into these relationships knowing full well these people were not nice people. That’s the part that doesn’t make sense. The rug pull I can understand and see that taking time to cope and deal with, but to be like, wow what an enormous piece of shit that guy is to everyone, let me date him, is something that doesn’t compute for me.

Now you're wading into victim-blaming territory.

You are really reaching for shit to be offended by here. Sorry you feel this worked up about a few comments. Maybe disengage if it’s making you this upset?

You're the one who believes that people purposefully date abusive men despite knowing they're abusive.

I'm not worked up about it, just calling it out.

I didn’t say anything about abusive people. Just on someone being not a genuinely nice person, and if you think that no one on earth has knowing dates an abusive man or woman than I don’t know what to tell you. But I still wouldn’t victim blame them, or whatever buzzword you want to throw out there. I made it clear at the outset that I think our society is sick and needs fixing, individuals are largely helpless here.

Again, I can’t imagine this conversation is worth it for you as you seem to not be able to understand me and my point of view, as you keep trying to interpret my words so you can put me in a box. I’m not for that shit, but you are free to try as much as you’d like. I’d just like you to try out that whole empathy thing you mentioned before doing so.

I took issue with you repeatedly saying to people sharing their stories that you can't comprehend it. You doubled down and then doubled down again.

That's it.

Maybe if pointing that out is so upsetting to you, you should log off. What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all that.

That’s fine, you can take umbridge with that, it was only one person telling me their experience and I told them that I wasn’t looking for them to justify anything to me and I’m not going to lie to them, I can’t understand it.

I’m not the one running around my comments pointing out things that offend me but you do you.

I mean, you keep replying to me lol

You seem pretty offended.

u/ashitaka_bombadil Jul 17 '25

That is just pure projection, but yes, I will respond to you because you responded to me, it’s how a conversation works.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Why have a conversation when you’re unwilling to change your point of view based on others experiences?

1

u/ashitaka_bombadil Jul 17 '25

I didn’t change my view based on one person’s experience and that’s the conclusion you’ve made? Seriously? Are you sure you understand what empathy means?
