Reply To: [TW: rape] Helping Sea Monkeys with triggers (at karaoke and otherwise), was: JCCC4 Post-Mortem
“Real talk, though… how many songs do you think, realistically, this
would cull? And how badly would it limit your ability to have fun if
nobody ever did “Rape Me” again at Karaoke? I mean this as a serious
question.”
I don’t care about rape me either, I again agree that is an obvious one. But Don’t stand so close to me and young girl and who knows how many others are interpreted as to be about rape?
I usually sing “everyone’s a little bit racist” from Avenue Q at karaoke. Clearly in this group, I could never do that. I won’t probably ever sign up for karaoke again, because if I was called out like the original singer was, I would not have taken it as well likely. Maybe publicly I would have, but privately I would be sobbing and terrified to interact with monkeys again, thinking they were all judging me and thinking I was a shitty person and every time I didn’t get to do anytjing or didn’t get called for something or got inadvertently left out of something, I would be convinced it was because they all felt I was a terrible person and are doing it on purpose. Hell, I’m afraid to interact with a bunch of people now because of that fear, but now that I’m there, I might as well be there, because there is no escape from the judgment anyway.
