Comment on The terms "Mother's Day" and "Father's Day" is very anxiety-inducing for people who have been abused/neglected as a child.

Yeah sure, saying “I hate this” is clearly an endorsement that it should continue to happen.

Did I say that? No.

Stop playing fucking games.

It is neither an endorsement for it to continue, nor is it a demand for it to stop.

It is “i hate it”. It is a statement of feeling.

Learn the difference between is and ought. Stop mistaking your next thought for their next statement.

Yes, hating something generally means you want it to stop. But you cannot be quoted as asking for it to stop until you actually say so.
