Huddled in the corner in fetal position screaming and shaking uncontrollably because of being asked to talk to a community of programmers? That's like saying you were literally raped because someone tried to flirt with you. It trivializes actual, serious issues.

@JourneymanGeek I'm saying that claiming you had a panic attack (rather than anxiety attack) because you were upset is akin to saying you were raped because someone flirted with you.

I'd like you to understand why claiming that isn't right.Fake Rape accusations (weaponised) arn't a joking matter, and they trivialise actual nasty things that happen. Using that as a comparison is 2 levels of wrong.
