Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, maybe the carpet I had growing up. My mom called it melted cookie dough. Got it specifically to not show stains or fur. Unfortunately, it did such good camouflage that you didn't even see the barf, pee or child-caused spills until you found them with your bare feet.

That's my carpet, renters-special light brown. I want a new carpet so bad, but not as bad as I don't want to have to move all my dang heavy furniture.

hip deep in pie

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts.

Rapist? Any guy comes after me, I am aiming for the nads.

He means to do harm to my delicate parts, I mean to do harm to his.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts.

Some guy probably ought to shut his pie hole before he gets kicked in the nuts just for being a tool.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

billy, why would he be raped? Rape happens to girls! Who were probably dressed improperly.

Yeah, this is largely my thinking. The guy clearly can only identify with the one injury under discussion. Rape's something that happens to other people. He could stand to be reminded that male rape is not unknown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha! I've done been told.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

I'm still not getting the second wrong in the scenario, but I did tell him that it was offensive to imply there was a wrong being done in response to attempted rape or murder (which, seriously, is what I was restricting my comments to, not even just a plain old punching exchange).

Dude, that's not what "turn the other cheek" means, you know?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Some guy is still trying to convince me I shouldn't kick an attempted rapist in the nuts. I keep asking him if he'd rather I tear his arm out of the socket, but he keeps evading the question. Maybe brain damage? I'm definitely not allowed to poke them in the eye as they attempt to poke me in the vagina, I've been informed.

I think if someone is trying to rape you, not kicking them hard in the windpipe or back of the neck after you've dropped them is showing courtesy.

He doesn't get a vote.

Besides, legally if somebody assaults you, then you are totally allowed to kick a guy in the nuts until they both explode.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

It's not wrong to kick a rapist in the nuts. Not in my ethics. Not in anybody's ethics.

Except this guy.
