If You Get Mad it Means I’m Right - a Game
If I defame you’re character
- call you a rapist
You getting mad means I’m right
- swap that out for any other offense
Remember it’s only
natural to get mad
when you are hurt...
it shouldn’t hurt
to be called human slime!
Doesn’t that make sense!?
Fragility to accusatory
generalizations
is just evidence of guilt
not indignation at
dangerous lies
...because hell
what’s so bad
about being rejected
and despised?
...it’s only life-threatening
and soul-crushing!

Just had a conversation about this yesterday: how simply making an accusation can ruin someone. Nice reflection of that idea. Our reaction to something is not evidence of anything except our humanity.
The laugh at the end is great...and creepy.

Yes, accusing someone of crime of rape or anything else could ruin their reputation and destroy their charcter. So make sure you get right. Keep on writing.

Totally. A lot of accusations and misunderstandings are flying around because of toxic, ignorant writers. So I took a stab at straightening up a thing.
