Why do other people want to live in the hell that are some dystopian fandom worlds?

To have been there.

Their wishes are just as bizarre. I can get why people think it's interesting. Maybe it would be neat if you could experience it and tune out when it gets too hard on you, like a kind of dream sequence or something similar. But to actually want to be in it and subject yourself to the same harsh conditions and stress as the Vietnam soldiers... that strikes me as going a bit too far. Nevertheless, it's your opinion, and if you want to continue dreaming that you could go back in time to be a Vietnam veteran then whatever. It's not like you can, so you're not hurting yourself by thinking that way, and you're not hurting anyone else, so that's fine with me.

You're getting more negative responses than those who post "I want to live in x fandom world" because the Vietnam War actually happened and real people died and the effects of it can still be seen today through the survivors. Which makes it closer to home, and thus scarier.

*shrug* What I want is what I want.

PS, for not insisting that it's wrong or that you know how I feel better than me and I don't *really* want to be there, thank you.
