continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

he only accidentally, by mistake, abused Meg a couple of times

He didn't abuse her. He was rude, callous and unnecessarily harsh. Those things may be part of abuse but they are not always abuse in and of themselves. Sometimes people just behave like dicks.

That doesn't make his behaviour okay.

It doesn't make it abuse, either. The world isn't divided into polite people and abusers.

Exactly what part of "rude, callous and unnecessarily harsh" translated into "ok"?

Nor does it make it abuse.

Andy is an abuser. He forced his intimate partner to walk to Canada in a blizzard, threatened the life of her pet and used her body for his own amusement against her wishes. Delwyn was rude to Meg on the internet. These situations are not similar and shouldn't be labelled in the same way.
