because I'm just paranoid people are going to hate me because I won't condemn the story ahead of time or just because it's a sensitive subject.

well, the two people I talk to most on Tumblr seem to accept I'm not a secret Nazi sympathizer or something, I guess, at least, but jeez the climate on Tumblr has me cringing to where I think if I just say the facts from the original article,

I'll have people jumping down my throat

and I definitely believe in speaking my mind and making sure people aren't going by the false sensationalistic crap people were sharing, but I've got too much personal stress right now to deal with it

so much for thinking I had such a relatively nice safe fandom corner carved out for myself.

Secondly, just based on the description given by DC, this seems to be a story about how someone can full under the spell of what fascism promises, only to realize it’s the wrong path to go down. Considering our current political climate, maybe this is a story that needs to be told right now. There should definitely not be any book burnings here.

Actually, there never should be — if you’re against fascism and are burning books you don’t like, well…I really don’t know what to tell you.

oh that put it better than I could have
