The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Rather the whole point is that Cinder may have been put in circumstances where she didn't really have a "choice" in what she did, in the beginning. So you're saying that anybody who's abused, put in a threatening situation, or tortured (physically or emotionally) doesn't have the choice to do anything besides become a mass murdering terrorist. This is why myself and others choose to label you a troll. Your argument is so unbelievably ignorant, sensational, and flat-out offensive to people who are actual victims of abuse that it boggles the mind.

I, myself, am a victim of actual abuse. I was raped in college. Did I have no choice but to blow up a school? Of course fucking not. There's a multitude of reactions one can have to being on the receiving end of a tortuously horrible event. Cinder damn well had a choice; you know it, I know it, and everybody here knows it.

Your assertation that abuse only has one plausible reaction offends me. It angers me. And it reveals yourself to be completely out of touch with the mere concept of abuse and those victims of it. Stop with your nonsensical arguments, go out into the world, meet some actual people who have suffered, and learn a thing or two. Then come back and apologize, to me, and everyone else here, for spreading such toxic, naive crap.
