It's an interesting dichotomy here
(ooh hark at me with my university words)

Nobody bats an eyelid at a post on how sexy the "aged" Maddy pictures look, but mention you were abused as a child and feel the love and support drop on you like a warm, soft piano.

Your are right, but possibly part of the problem is that the
jokes about Maddy are so clearly off the wall jokes (which is a defensive mechanism all in its own) and also clearly not real, but when someone talks about the actual abuse they experienced, people either because they have experienced some of this type of crap or just can feel empathetic respond with support.

All though I am now supposed to man the fuck up, I still can’t accept some things. Something that is clearly a joke such as Spanky Hanky’s posts are funny as shit. A one line response about punching or kicking someone is not funny to me but I’ll shut up in the future (or try to anyway). If not I’ll just ignore them.
