~~Since OP chose to interpret your question in bad faith, and I think everyone deserves at least one good faith answer:~~ EDIT: That's a completely wrong interpretation by me, I'm very sorry! The below still applies though.

"Survivor" in this context tends to refer "Survivors of abuse/assault". The use of the term "victim" is generally not the preferred term. I'll let someone who actually knows this stuff explain: https://www.rsacc-thecentre.org.uk/guest-blogs/victim-survivor-the-importance-of-the-language-we-use-to-talk-about-people-who-have-experienced-sexual-violence/

I quoted the description of the movie so they would know what survivor meant in this case.

It wasn’t a bad faith interpretation.

I'm so sorry! I thought you were calling them an incel for just asking, I only just noticed the deleted comment by a person I blocked.. Shit, I screwed up.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the incel comment was added in after the description of the movie started getting a bunch of downvotes.

I literally quoted the description of the movie from the website.

If that’s enough to upset people, I don’t really care if I’m being snarky.
