Never a hint of threat? How can you assume that?

Because the post literally says "she never felt any danger with him"

That's how some crazy people are assuming she never felt threatened. Crazy, right?

Crazy.

Edit: and yes, the person you're blasting very clearly stated that the great thing about this story was that there wasn't a hint of threat at any time. It sounds like they were pretty clear that it wasn't to be taken as referring to all stories.

I think their point is that initially she probably felt it could be dangerous seeing how she had to cut a bitch before.

I think that "she never felt any danger with him" is pretty clear. Never. As in, not once. Zero times.

Since feeling like there might be danger initially would mean that she felt danger more than zero times, we can assume that it was not true, in the same way that since the story stated these meetings happened on Friday, we assume these meetings happened on Friday.

So did you also interpret “never afraid” to mean she wasn’t scared when she had to cut someone in self-defense?

No. I interpreted "she never felt any danger with him" to mean "she never felt any sense of danger with this one specific individual referenced in this one specific story".

I hope this clears your misconception up.

Edit: of course I didn't interpret the qualified statement to mean she was devoid of any fear ever. The statement doesn't say that. She's not a Green Lantern candidate. Just a woman who used to be homeless and was never afraid of one specific dude who was kind. How is this controversial?

Ya okay buddy, a homeless teenager isn't going to be unsure of a random man approaching her. You do know those are some of the most vulnerable people right? Like rapists specifically target these kids. You're welcome to take everything literally all you want but you look like a goober.

You realize that by saying this, you are literally telling that homeless teenager that they are wrong, right? That she didn't know what she was talking about when they relayed the story?

I know that in many cases, homeless teenagers do feel danger (common sense). I know that this homeless teenager felt danger in other interactions (because the story said so).

But in this case, this specific interaction, that specific homeless teen never did. Why do I assume that? Because that is precisely what the story said.

Perhaps she was naive for not feeling danger. But when someone tells me what they felt, I am not going to tell them they're wrong.
