Firstly, I shouldn’t have said ‘Bloody hell, are you quite well?’ So, I withdraw that.
@ImImmortalNowBabyDoll ‘What other horrific experiences do you think can be fictionalised for fun?’
Where did I say it was fun? I certainly never said or intimated such a thing. I said it was fiction. The only post I can see introducing ‘fun’ in association with the topic is by you in your post. Which you seem to have introduced in order to sneakily (and it must be said falsely) insinuate was my stance.
You may be genuinely outraged. You may not be. I don’t know. However you appear to be quite happily using it as cover to just sling any old mud around, as per the latest baseless insinuation.
A great swath of fiction is set in many different historic settings, which had in reality no shortage of real human suffering and brutality. Books, movies and mini series, many (if not most) as inaccurate as can be.
Someone mentioned the Magdalen Laundries/ Baby homes. Just recently Cillian Murphy was in a movie ‘Small things like These’. Complete fiction about a coal man looking at what was happening at the Convent he delivered to. I’d suspect there were many historical inaccuracies, as well as the stretch of the storyline of the girl’s rescue by the protagonist maybe being less than convincing. Imagine that. By being in that film, did Murphy, as a grown man, who was never going to be one of the victims, disrespect what the women and babies went through? The women were seen through the lens of his infrequent interactions. Central, and yet incidental. Oddly, I didn’t end up having less sympathy with what those women went through in reality.
Now, I’m not going to be sucked back into this mud pile anymore. Certainly when you are just making up things, and flinging insinuations around.
