you're probably misinterpreting it. when andy said it was an absurd reason, he is delegitimizing and undermining chris' experience. he basically just said "oh you were raped, kidnapped, and almost died? big deal, you should have gotten over it faster." that would be a pretty terrible response in any language or culture.
I dont know if its because i'm not an english speaker,but I dont understand why they are so shocked about what Andy said
I mean,It wouldnt be my choice of words but its a normal response,no? Does absurd not have a similar meaning to terrible in english in this context?
idk... anyways fuck this Martin dude
