Pitting QuickSilver

[iiandyiiii]

Here I analogize the Israeli soldiers who gang raped a Palestinian prisoner to insects:

@iiandyiiii

We don’t and probably can’t know whether, and how often, this kind of thing might have happened in other cases with no video evidence. Like seeing a single bug means there’s a good chance you have an infestation, this single incident being discovered may mean there are many others that remain undiscovered.

@QuickSilver objects:

@QuickSilver

You painted an analogy to an insect infestation. Claiming “we can’t know for certain” is not the get-out-of-jail-free card you need it to be.

My response:

@iiandyiiii

Rapists are vermin. I have no problem at all analogizing rapists to insects.

Do you?

Once again, I leave it to anyone following this thread to judge for themselves whether this is a question that merits a response.

So as to not hijack that thread, let’s bring it here. What’s wrong with analogizing rapists to vermin? Please, educate me, @QuickSilver. I want to be a better person and a better poster.
