    When a serious video about people being harmed is presented, trivial complaints about personal aesthetics are inappropriate. Doing so implies the event being recorded is at a level of seriousness where minor criticisms are expected.

    If you’re watching a fashion show, criticizing a dress for being ugly is entirely appropriate. If you’re watching that same model in the same dress tearfully talk about her sexual assault, it is not.

      I was not. And if you are just gonna skip over this explanation again, I will lose my mind. I have now clearly laid out mutliple times that I have serious mental issues. Not as in that I am irrational or that I have lost my sanity, though the latter did happen in the past, but in that I have hypersensitivity and mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, adhd (not an illness). On top which I am also very sound sensitive. Like take a person that is easily startled, get’s the tone of people wrong because “they scream” i.e. speak loud and then put on top of that hypersensitivity. I am a mess. And you saying “this isn’t a fashion contest” disproportionally shows my feeling towards the sound. Sure it’s not physically painful, way too quit for that, but my brain responds radically different to the sound. On top of which I have ADHD, so while I might have clicked on the video knowing it’s ice, americas local military police and terror organization, I will have completely focused on the thing catching my attention, as you do.

      And that is precisely what I mean with people not understanding me, because this is not the first time I have explained this and people comptely glance it over, with the exception of a single person that has recognized that while my comment was not nice, which I agree to, but which hasn’t been up for debate even once, as you are completely oblivious to rational conversation, it is understandable, since I have highlighted that this is about me feeling psychological pain.

        You’re doing it again, mate. What is being heard by your audience is that your sound sensitivity is as important as (or more important than) this woman being fired at and grabbed by secret police in front of her children.

        There are orders of magnitude separation between those levels of trauma. Those children will never be the same, nor will the mother.

        Frankly, fuck your sound sensitivity. Contextually wildly inappropriate to complain about, compared to the severity of the situation.

          From that context, absolutely fuck my sound sensitivity. I have no problem with that. But there is no way in hell that I’ll get someone to tell me that me finding it annoying isn’t appropriate. Instead I’m beraded, because people interpret some truly wild shit into what I said. I see that, isn’t hard to see either. I even commented in the comment itself, that I find the idea of the whistles to be good.

          And again, I don’t really give a shit what you think I said. I give a shit about what I say. What you think I said is not reality. That’s a hallucination. Especially online.

          And what’s this you’re on about inappropriateness? I’m annoyed by the sound. It’s appropriate I say that. Making sure to still say I’m for it. That’s american taboo-think.

            It’s appropriate to say that.

            Absolutely, unequivocally not. No. By doing so, you are trivializing their experience.
