There are ways to teach and prevent the atrocities of war, without subjecting someone to those atrocities first or second hand.

The world needs fewer folks with PTSD, thanks. Not more.

This sort of content is also not good for folks with PTSD either. Personally, I have to spend quite a bit of effort avoiding it if I want to continue to consume online content when things flare up in the world.

I agree, and hope my prior post didn't indicate otherwise.

I am very much advocating from a point of PTSD understanding, and prevention.

20 some odd years ago, stupid naive me didn't turn off one of those post 911 beheading videos. Even just typing that out puts me on the edge still.

Oh I didn't mean to insinuate that you didn't, I was just trying to support what you said with more context too.

This has been a huge propaganda campaign and it's disgusting.
