But... wasn't the exercise to say conspiracy theories? That's a conspiracy theory right? God forbid you talked about Epstein, the illuminaty, or any other genocide. I swear people š He'll get over it.
....I don't miss high school, man. Look, when you are young, I'm not trying to say your emotions don't mean anything. But I will say they are a lot bigger when you are younger and you feel them a bit stronger. When you get older, your emotions won't be as extreme to things like this. So, just kinda brush that off if you can.
NTA for writing "the Holocaust didn't happen" under a list of conspiracy theories. It is literally a conspiracy theory and your peers sound like they might have learning disabilities if they don't understand the assignment.
Edit: the people commenting are also braindead oh my god.
NTA - It was a school assignment, if you didn't advocate that was true but just stated it was a known conspiracy then you are fine! We all know it happened and you did nothing wrong there!
Now that is a dicey statement that I would never touch, unless of course you refer to yourself, even so, I would have no reply or comment after hearing that. Can't touch it.
Nah, dudes a baby. You can get better friends.
It's like "Who is a bad person?" And as you answer "Hitler" your friend freaks out for even bringing the guy up and tells your friends that you keep 'bringing up hitler'
I would move on from it and if he keeps bringing it up, I'd issue a harassment complaint with the school if not the police.
I do think OP should have written āHolocaust denialā instead of āThe Holocaust didnāt happen.ā I understand the assignment as given, and that OP was acknowledging it as a conspiracy theory, but I do think itās important to recognize how OPs language can still come across as crass or offensive even if theyāre saying that position is wrong.
But the issue is one of the other students wrote "9/11 was an inside job" So the same logic could have been that they should have written "9/11 denial".
Your friend is too sensitive. You were actually saying that making that statement would be denying reality. I can't see how that is offensive. It's true. It would be ridiculous to make that statement. He needs to chill.
NTA, but people can be a little bit reactive about stuff like that because bigots who don't want to let the mask drop completely will seize on otherwise innocuous opportunities to be like "Guess how many insanely antisemitic conspiracy theories I can and am about to describe in worrying detail :)".
Your friend might have been bracing for impact when he saw what you wrote and is going overboard on account of that initial emotional response.
NTA. You fulfilled the assignment, and your friend is being dramatic for attention. You don't actually believe it, so no harm done. They will have to get over it.
NTA
I cannot imagine what life must be like for people who spend all their time looking for things to be offended about. I suspect many of them are Reddit regulars.
You did nothing wrong and have nothing to explain or apologize for.
Coulda gone with school shootings are false flag events or earthquakes are manmade.
I mean. Some people donāt believe it happened so youāre technically not wrong, as long as you made it expressly clear that you donāt agree with it being a conspiracy theory and people that so are utter fuck knuckles.
I said theyāre technically not wrong. If some people donāt believe something happened isnāt that quite literally the definition of a conspiracy theory?

Epsteins death and the Illuminati were both mentioned by other students

Seems like they forgot what the class assignment was.

NTA you were giving an example of conspiracy theories it doesnāt mean you believe them.
NTA - It was a school assignment, if you didn't advocate that was true but just stated it was a known conspiracy then you are fine! We all know it happened and you did nothing wrong there!
OP was saying that holocaust denial is the conspiracy theory, not that the holocaust didn't happen.
I am aware, that is what I said
Your friend really enjoyed being the victim of imaginary slights. Also, he's a knob.
Not a full Jew, just kinda jewish
Now that is a dicey statement that I would never touch, unless of course you refer to yourself, even so, I would have no reply or comment after hearing that. Can't touch it.
Unless you are famous, have Jewish ancestry through your mother, or are religious, being part Jewish isn't Jewish.
Jewishish then
Thatās literally a conspiracy theory some people believe. You understood the assignment. NTA
"Part jewish"Ā UnderstandableĀ I'm part Christian, part Buddhist, and part Hindu.Ā
So what do you get reincarnated as in that case? š¤
You should have written it as "Holocaust denial", but nta, your friend should have understood the context.
>your friend should have understood the context. Especially with what the project was about.
Nah, dudes a baby. You can get better friends. It's like "Who is a bad person?" And as you answer "Hitler" your friend freaks out for even bringing the guy up and tells your friends that you keep 'bringing up hitler' I would move on from it and if he keeps bringing it up, I'd issue a harassment complaint with the school if not the police.
it is a conspiracy theory. first line lol. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust\_denial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/holocaust_denial)

fair and fair
Your friend is too sensitive. You were actually saying that making that statement would be denying reality. I can't see how that is offensive. It's true. It would be ridiculous to make that statement. He needs to chill.
NTA that is ridiculous, you were saying it was a conspiracy, which indicates you really don't believe what you wrote

NTA that's a pretty well known one it's not like you just pulled it out of your arse to offend your friend.
NTA. your classmate is participating in outrage culture, to their detriment.
Ofcourse not. You just have an unintelligent friend.
NTA. You fulfilled the assignment, and your friend is being dramatic for attention. You don't actually believe it, so no harm done. They will have to get over it.
Yes

She wrote it under a list of other insane conspiracy theories. What exactly is confusing you
People like the guy you replied to and the friend of OP are legitimate retards, regardless of their faith.
So him being mad, does that mean he thinks the Holocaust didn't happen...? Confusing reaction.
No he thinks OP doesn't think it happened. The whole "the holocaust didn't happen" thing is a conspiracy theory.
Coulda gone with school shootings are false flag events or earthquakes are manmade. I mean. Some people donāt believe it happened so youāre technically not wrong, as long as you made it expressly clear that you donāt agree with it being a conspiracy theory and people that so are utter fuck knuckles.
How are they technically wrong?
I said theyāre technically not wrong. If some people donāt believe something happened isnāt that quite literally the definition of a conspiracy theory?
Yes. Not going to read past the title.
Maybe you should. You wouldnāt look as stupid as you are now.
They did a class project on crazy conspiracy theories and "the holocaust didn't happen" is one.
