1. Notice the use of isn't. I'm not a native English speaker but it still seems clear that you are reading something that isn't written.
2. The threat of being shunned is still a threat. Also there is something about abusive relationships where the abuser will say: I didn't force anyone, but everyone knows there would have been "consequences" if the victim didn't do what they were told.
- skybrian 8y agoYou're implying physical force by comparing to an abuser situation where an implicit threat of physical force is involved. If you don't want to imply violence, don't use a violent metaphor.
