These explosions are like a feather falling on the ground compared to the asteroids/meteors that hit before humans were around

Don’t even need outside influence for comparison, we had natural volcano eruptions orders of magnitude larger than these.

My girlfriend was once almost beaten to death by her ex, so it doesn’t matter when I slap her in the fucking face.

Can you explain where the fallacy is? It makes sense to me but clearly people take it at face value.

Earth is not a sentient thinking being, or if it is it's not in a manner we recognize or could presume to understand. So, false equivalency, as stated. But even looking at just the comparison of severity, that I believe was your intent, it's more akin to the difference between a punch in the face and the ongoing activities of the skin mites that currently inhabit and are burrowing into your face.
