Rowdy rowdy rape victim
So a couple months back I was camping with some friends. We were two cars worth and were meeting at the campsite. In our car we had mixed newbies and people who were in the main social circle (I was a newbie). While briefing us on who would be in the other car we were told to avoid talking about rape because one of the girls was raped (cause yeah that's totally a go-to topic when you're meeting new people. "Wow, nice day today - it's totally raping weather".) But yeah sure enough one of the guys in our car either forgot, misheard, or epically failed at being a normal social human being and later made reference to "raping" people at online gaming, as if totally unaware that the rape victim girl was right there. For a moment the girl herself had the saddest face I've seen a human make, but then flipped around 180 and started joining in about how fun it was to rape people at games. But like compulsively, like way too much. I was about to say something like "hey, you shouldn't use the word 'rape' like that," but she was the one blitzing us with rape jokes. I imagine it may have been cathartic for her on some level, like only by understanding her tormenter can she ever transcend her pain, but I can't help but feel that she was as wounded as ever. It's like batman - becoming the thing that you despise will never make the pain go away. Just like batman. Rape batman.
