Que fantasies of murder and torture from someone that call themselves a "southern gentleman".
"Sure you would Chad. But shut the fuck up. Pretty sure given the chance survivors will handle that kind of shit themselves.
If you actually wanted to help you'd say something when your buddies got rape-y. You wouldn't laugh at the jokes they tell when they dehumanize other people. You wouldn't turn a blind eye while they're feeding their date way too much alcohol. cause those are the same mother fuckers that do the shit you are trying to project on people you view as less than human.
Yes, I do think those folks need handled in less than kind ways. But thats why people that handle them are paid to do so.
Cause anyone would do what you're talking for free.
You're paid to keep them alive to see justice.
So shut the fuck up about your murder fantasies"
Is what i wanted to say.
"Be aware your saying this around someone that actually survived that kind of abuse as a child."
Is what I actually said.
Chad shut the fuck up though.
And a woman across the way said. "I was abused and I'm okay with this conversation."
Into the silence formerly filled by Chad's boasts.
"Me too, just not with these mother fuckers, because he's just using it as an excuse to vocalize his own abuse fantasies. Saying the exact same shit that the people that abused me would say loudly and proudly to anyone that would listen."
Is what I wanted to say.
Changing the subject back to the snapping turtles we were talking about before the topic was brought up is what I did instead.
The woman probably thought I was silencing her by glazing past what she said.
When the truth is my jaw and hands were clenched tight in rage wanting nothing more to hear the story they had to tell and verify their abuser had been...sorted....but not with chads around.
Again, if chads actually believed those boasts they wouldnt let their buddies do the shit they'd done. That woman wouldn't have had to go thru the experiences they had.
Ah....the 90s bar scene.
You haven't changed in the slightest.
Just gone digital.
