That's because (I'm assuming) nothing traumatizing happened to you. Any normal day is like any other normal day.

abuse and child abuse happens so much more often, with so many more after-effects, than most people realise.
cannot understand how else something can suddenly hit the news and people can think gosh those people are disgusting deviant examples of humanity, and meanwhile in the next breath people can joke about "pedobear" or "rape!"ing other people. you'd think they thought sexual abuse was rare, or entertaining, or something.
A joke is just a joke. Successful stand up comedians joke about racism, sexism, bigotry, and stereotypes -all the time- and people laugh at it. That's doesn't mean that they're racist, sexist, bigot or skeptics. You can tell friends that you're gonna rape them but that doesn't mean you're actually gonna do it.
