I had to share this

Fuck it. This subject is WAY too controversial.

I can't seem to say what I want to about it, either, without thinking it's come out totally wrong.

Ignore this post. PLEASE.

Oh, rape is definitely worse the younger the victim is. If you've managed to make it to your adult life without being abused, either sexually or emotionally, you're going to have vastly more coping skills then a child in a similar situation. Also, let's not forget that when children are raped it is often by someone who not only is substantially stronger then them, but who also holds some emotional sway (such as a family member). Topping it all off, when a child is raped they usually end up being repeatedly raped by the same perp because they are aggressively intimidated into not telling.

Sorry, but if you were raped at gunpoint by a man, and then he went around later that night and raped his five-year old niece, I'd think the niece would have suffered the more horrific life-long insult. Wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, you're right, and I thought of that later. I actually researched this at one point; I should've thought of it. >_<

It's my last day of school. I'm in a weird frame of mind. I don't like rapefics as a general rule, whether the victim's underage or not. There are a few exceptions, of course, but they're few and far between.

No problem. *snugs* I know you are the kind of person who would have sympathy for child victims, after all. I just wanted to clarify.

*feels incredibly stupid*

Yeah, I'm embarrassed now. Extremely so. I can't seem to get my thoughts out properly today, and I've made some major errors. It's one of those days when you just want to go back to sleep and wake up the next morning to find that no one remembers anything you did the day before.

*cuddles lots* Please, please, please don't feel bad. Come on, when it comes to "open mouth, insert foot" disease, I am the MASTER.

*feels bad in turn*

I feel much better now. :)

I have D.N.Angel manga. So everything is all right again.

Anyway, you have no reason to feel bad. ^_~
