I explained it wasn't fake, I had friends die in Columbine.
Dustin posted a video of my friends body (in his defense - he did not know it was my friend at the time, though he did know I had friends and was close to Columbine. This is an important point, as if he knew it was her body it would have been completely horrific)
He said things with Columbine didn't feel right, asked me to watch the video repeatedly
Basically ended up saying well he can't contradict my posts about knowing people that are dead, but still isn't sure it was real
He did apologize and say if I wanted him banned over it he'd eat the ban
-
He dealt with it mostly fine after the interaction -- apologizing and offering to be banned, but if I'm honest I probably had trouble fully accepting the apology, and it definitely colored some of our later conversations (me telling him he's not empathetic, some of it had to do with masks discussion, but some of it had must have had to do with the lack of empathy involved of asking someone who went through trauma to watch videos of said trauma)
