Cos I addressed that one to the author, not the audience. It's like I imagine he's standing right in front of me and what my visceral response would be to him.

It's like I imagine he's standing right in front of me and what my visceral response would be to him. From one human to another I'm sorry we're capable of putting each other through that.
That book is just unyieldingly bleak in the most gripping way. And he was such a good guy right til the very end.
- jonahx 8y agoI see, and I believe your intentions weren't bad. But as some constructive criticism I'd say the optics are not good. The phrase "brooo" just feels tone-deaf and minimizing here. And unless you are the most charmingly clueless surfer dude on the planet, I don't think it works when the survivor is standing in front of you either.
- qntty 8y agoMost people who use bro are being at least a little ironic. It's a weird register to use for a Austrian man born in 1905. Wouldn't be a big deal except that it's literally the Holocaust. Not personally offended, just explaining why most people will probably not take it the way you mean.
