imagine that everyone is standing around in a big open area together, right. now imagine that every day, a certain portion of people are just straight-up lit on fire. like, they're not incinerated immediately, but they are on fire, and most of the time the fire will grow bigger and hotter, as fire is wont to do, until the person is used up. the fire is thought of as "natural", so the others don't really do anything to help—in fact, some people like to use the heat from the on-fire people to get cozy.
however, lately we've figured out a lot about something called "water", and people can take "water" and throw it on someone who's on fire to douse the fire. turns out people who are on fire don't like being on fire, and actually really like getting covered in "water". in fact, people who were on fire like it so much, that they go around looking for more people who are on fire to throw "water" on them, and douse their fires too. it's gotten to the point that these people come up with cute slang to figure out who might be "on fire" and if someone needs to be "wet". sometimes they even go around with "water" guns and squirt people, and if their target likes it they'll go like "here's another one who's on fire" and then will blast them with more "water".
however, sometimes a man will get splashed by accident, like these wet people get a little too overzealous and throw water all willy-nilly and will get water on someone who isn't on fire. sometimes they'll even splash water on a man on purpose, as a joke. it's usually really common for these men to go "idk why wet people think it's funny to go around splashing water on people, it's really annoying and being wet sucks", and then one trillion people around them will come out of the woodwork and go "yeah getting splashed with water or even being called 'wet' is exactly the same as being literally on-fire, it's super problematic for wet people to be going around with 'water' guns looking for fires to put out, it's better to just let the fires go out naturally because then there'd be no danger of getting any water on anyone else, plus the fires are natural and 'water' is like experimental and it's just super annoying to be called an egg for no reason i mean wet for no reason."
then they'll go and kill the trans girl for thinking having a squirt gun is okay
