I actually kind of like this; she's honest about what she experienced and she recognizes that fashion will take a back-burner for awhile.

It's also inappropriate to expect someone in the moment to be capable of fully comprehending the ultimate/long term ramifications and appropriate reactions to things. That's often just not possible - for even physiological reasons outside their control. i.e. Shock.

Someone who survived being stabbed multiple times during a robbery told me, at the time, they didn't even know they'd been stabbed until they got home. I think it had been dark (possibly pitch black), amongst other things.

So yeah it's possible to go back to major historical events and find immediate responses that don't age well. I would argue it's not worth dredging up decades later with an eye toward public persecution - which is front of mind in any twitter thread.
