Anne Frank advertising baby clothes before discussing the horrors of the Holocaust
Wow, that is amazingly inhumane.
My first thought is they’re necessarily making characters who aren’t people.
A person who has lived through the Holocaust just cannot cheerfully peddle baby clothes.
I don’t mean that it’s physically not possible because she’s dead: I mean in terms of the human psyche, a person just flat-out psychologically could not do that.
A young boy who succumbed to torture and murder psychology cannot just calmly narrate it.
So obviously, yeah, it’s quite a ghoulish and evil thing to take what used to be a person, and a figure who has been studied and mourned because of their personhood, because we can relate to them as a person, and just completely strip them of their personhood and turn them into an inhumane object.
But then that leads to me the question of, who’s watching these things, and why?
The article says they got quite a lot of views.
Is it just for shock value?
I don’t quite understand.

Once again the entertainment can claim to be “educational” or “informative” and piously claim it doesn’t “condone” what it’s presenting (for entertainment purposes) but “true crime” hogs will gobble it up and oink all the while anyway.

Have you met the true crime community? They would eat this stuff up.
I don’t get them. Why would you keep watching and discussing this stuff? Have they got no empathy?
