@nil@critters.gay Unfortunately, the people who need to hear this aren't going to listen and will probably resent you for saying it. I had to disable autoplay on Bluesky for this reason... :|

@nil@critters.gay The inflicting trauma bit is also currently used by the Israeli government to manufacture consent about the ongoing genocide. After the horrible event of the 3rd of October, a bunch of "museum" where you could "relive from inside what happened to the victims of the massacre" opened. And busloads of schoolchildren were sent to live what the victims of the massacre lived. And other people went as they were told it was their "civic duty" to go there. But what do you get from going through as-realistic-as-possible reproduction of a massacre? You get trauma. Horrible, painful, PTSD-inducing trauma. Those museums are trauma-making-machines. And they are aimed at developing in people a pure racial hate against Arabs. And they push children through that! What kind of nation is that? Who harms their children in order to push a political agenda? It's not about exposing crimes, but about turning a group of people into an vilain.

@nil@critters.gay I mean this is what content warnings are for, no? It gives everyone the chance to be informed but also allows anyone to not see smth traumatizing. While that works great on social media... I see that this point is a bit more of a challenge with irl activism

@nil@critters.gay There should be an evil (in the gay way) bot that watches for phrases like "this is too important & must be seen by everyone so I'm not adding a content warning!" & explodes whoever posts that.

@nil@critters.gay Very real! (Say this as someone that has had her mood spiraled by non-cw'ed posts during a bad time)
