Just need to say this: Being a fan of someone does not mean worshiping them blindly, but neither does it mean dragging and canceling them because they do not agree with your exact worldview. Being a fan means being honest about who someone is...including the parts you might not always like. It means knowing that they are as likely to make mistakes and hold imperfect views as anyone else, but that does not make them incapable of changing and evolving. And it means seeing the person as a whole, flawed human being, not just as the version of themselves that you find acceptable.

This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will simply try to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war. - Erich Maria Remarque (x)
[ID: five gifs of the Netflix trailer of All Quiet On The Western Front. The first shows the No Man's Land at night with a white flare in the sky. The second one shows Paul Bäumer, a young white man with short blond hair, as he walks into a room, carrying his uniform in front of him. The third gif shows german soldiers in world war one uniform moving away from the camera. The fourth gif shows the same soldiers, now moving towards the camera, which is focusing onto Paul Bäumer. The last gif shows a battlefield with corpses and a granade hits. All of the gifs are overlayed with german text in all caps reading: Dies ist weder einer Anklage noch ein Bekenntnis. Es ist der Bericht über eine Generation, die vom Krieg zerstört wurde, auch wenn sie seinen Granaten entkam. - Erich Maria Remarque. /end ID]
