    It is if it’s not consensual.

    Verbal and emotional abuse are still abuse, still count as harm, and psychological abuse is so effective it is used in psychological warfare.

    Physical abuse is to physical torture, what verbal&emotional abuse are to psychological torture.

    Maybe learn a little about consent so you stop harming others. I’ve already given you an example of why someone may not want to discuss sex (past trauma), but also, given your personality- they may find YOU distressing to talk with and not a safe person. And by your own words, you aren’t.

      You are torturing me with your username. Why do you want to harm me and the rest of Lemmy?

      Argumentative comments trigger me, please stop torturing me. Ask for consent before speaking in this shared space.
