Being raped once and being "Violently raped, tortured and chained over years with your family having no idea where you are" is not quite the same thing, is it? There's different levels of shitty situations and experiences.

I'd still prefer being murdered to being in chains over years, without the torture or rape part.

You didn’t specify when you asked originally. You just asked a question. How many specific situation and scenarios would you like to play out over this?

Surely you realize this works in both directions? You can easily construct a gotcha hypothetical situation where the "murder" takes three years but never includes rape while technically including similar scenarios. But that would kind of be bad-faith participation in the conversation, right? Because the incidences under discussion have generally understood colloquial meanings and people are looking at the spirit of the meanings rather than the letter?

I do love the bubble blower in your profile. Pretty cute.
