BG: I am Half German, half American, living in Germany. I have Opinions on Nazis and the like. This thread is not the place for that. Maybe I´m not allowed to, as a non-jew, but I can only discuss the holocaust in very small doses before it fucks up my mental health. On to the actual topic. I ran into this post, and had the most conflicting feelings. I agreed with it, and wanted to reblog it. But it had strong language, what if i offend X? I decided right outweighs peoples being offended. ok. So I reblog it. The post talks about upsetting things. usually I tag such things depressing shit. But doing so might subtly give people the message that i am valuing someones comfort over truth. On the other hand, I myself want people to tag upsetting things, even important ones, so I can read without messing up my mental health. In the end I tagged it #depressing #but important, since that is simply the truth. And then I decided to ramble about my feelings about it here, because the entire thought process made it very obvious to me how deeply not making a fuss is ingrained in me. Don´t complain, don´t cry, don´t talk too loudly or too passionately.
