I get the feeling you're projecting a bit? "co-opting someone's pain" means using someone's (inferred) pain to justify something you believe in.

Are you seriously arguing that the pain of someone's child being raped & murdered is inferred? Talk about the onus being on you to prove that. Your argument form is something like "if I chop your arm off, your pain is inferred" -- like, uh, guy, we all know it would hurt, it's not inferred.
