@johnwlockwoodiv Sure. Does not-accepting a past behavior mean not-accepting a present and future human being?
@johnwlockwoodiv And maybe asking whether they wanted to have a "side" in the first place or we're all just deciding what they should want.

@chaosprime u just have to ask how would i feel if it was being done to me -
@johnwlockwoodiv Truly? When affective forecasting is a cognitive task that humans are almost legendarily bad at? -
@chaosprime on a whole, we've been pretty freaking good at it. baby learns pretty quickly finger on hot stove is bad idea -
@johnwlockwoodiv That's conditioning, not affective forecasting. Read about it. We are awful at knowing how *we* will feel in a situation. -
@johnwlockwoodiv Much less a different human being whose life and interior state we are in no way privy to the fine details of. -
@chaosprime how about we just give the benefit of the doubt to the victim instead of attacker? -
@johnwlockwoodiv Sure. Don't see how that requires drawing battle lines past which go vilification rather than a demand for better behavior. -
@chaosprime attacker seeks professional help. apologizes. works hard to reform and shows it, then maybe they find some acceptance. - 5 more replies

@chaosprime victims are often in a comprised state and don't need to be consulted on whether an attack really hurts them -
@johnwlockwoodiv Which coincidentally keeps the pattern of response all about the rest of us and our narrative needs. So tidy.
