Comment on In almost 100% of scenarios that I can think of, the underdog is always the "good guy"

  I dont get what you are trying to say, what is the relevance to the discussion of underdogs vs Goliaths and their being viewed as an optimist or pessimist? Also what’s up with the asterisks? I can’t tell if you are implying the trauma makes them underdogs or if their feats make them the giants.

    I do think that coming from a background of severe abuse makes you more of an underdog, in general. It’s certainly not setting you up for success. I’m not praising or condoning their heinous acts, at all. It’s awful, unthinkable stuff, which is why I said:

    which most of us could never dream of doing.

    The asterisks were to emphasize that most people could never even think of doing this stuff–it’s not an easy thing to discuss.

      Got it and totally agree.

      I’m still learning how to use markdowns for text so I didn’t know if it was a markdown of a format lemmy on sync app didn’t recognize or maybe it was missing a part of the markdown.

        You’re nice, so I feel like I have to admit I was just fucking with you a bit. I intentionally worded it in a way that continued to sound just a little too effusive, because it was funny to me.
