What were the terms of the contract?
You did read the contract right?
I don't blame people for being upset because gyms are disgusting money grubbers but it doesn't invalidate their own responsibility to not enter into bullshit contracts.
I get where you’re coming from so I won’t downvote, but I thought you might want to know that this has some real “men shouldn’t rape women, but women shouldn’t dress slutty or get drunk” or “police shouldn’t shoot black men, but black men should just comply” vibes.
What?
How is this in any way related to rape? Being raped is horrible and should not be compared to being locked in a dumb contract.
Didn’t think I had to spell this out, but in all three cases it’s victim blaming. Men blaming women for being raped, white people blaming black people for being shot by the police, and the previous poster blaming people for getting caught in shitty contracts by predatory companies. On a scale of severity they’re in completely different universes, but that’s kind of the point of an analogy: to use a more extreme example to illustrate why something is wrong.
Edit: And to be clear, this comment was not addressed at your comment, but the poster who replied to you.
Very wild take.
In the gym-case you actively have to sign a contract that has a defined duration. You know all the terms of that contract or at least you agree to all the terms with your signature.
You don't passively "get caught in" a gym-contract. People might sign those without reasing, but that doesn't make them victims.
What the fuck are you talking about? I couldn't care less what "vibes" your crazy ass is feeling.
Presumably you had some point that you were trying to convey with your comment, which is going to get lost by the people who will see it as simply victim blaming. The tone of this reply and your other comments suggest that you’re fine having an abrasive personality and care more about some sense of being right than constructive criticism, so I’ll just leave it there and wish you a good day!
Presumably you're fucking batshit
