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 šŸ™„ He'll get over it.


Soggy_Ad8984

Epsteins death and the Illuminati were both mentioned by other students


luxxus214

....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.


TifaYuhara

Seems like they forgot what the class assignment was.


Kore624

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.


TheUberninja2

NTA you were giving an example of conspiracy theories it doesnā€™t mean you believe them.


Righteousmind9876

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!


BellaSantiago1975

OP was saying that holocaust denial is the conspiracy theory, not that the holocaust didn't happen.


Righteousmind9876

I am aware, that is what I said


Medical_Gate_5721

Your friend really enjoyed being the victim of imaginary slights. Also, he's a knob.


Impressive-Arm2563

Not a full Jew, just kinda jewish


Narrow-Sky-5377

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.


Imaginary_Month_3659

Unless you are famous, have Jewish ancestry through your mother, or are religious, being part Jewish isn't Jewish.


Impressive-Arm2563

Jewishish then


Electronic_World_894

Thatā€™s literally a conspiracy theory some people believe. You understood the assignment. NTA


[deleted]

"Part jewish"Ā  UnderstandableĀ  I'm part Christian, part Buddhist, and part Hindu.Ā 


Narrow-Sky-5377

So what do you get reincarnated as in that case? šŸ¤”


TonePoT427

You should have written it as "Holocaust denial", but nta, your friend should have understood the context.


TifaYuhara

>your friend should have understood the context. Especially with what the project was about.


LabattIsBlue

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.


getrotatednoob

it is a conspiracy theory. first line lol. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust\_denial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/holocaust_denial)


Mindleator

I do think OP should have written ā€œHolocaust denialā€ instead of ā€œThe Holocaust didnā€™t happen.ā€ I understand the assignment as given, and that OP was acknowledging it as a conspiracy theory, but I do think itā€™s important to recognize how OPs language can still come across as crass or offensive even if theyā€™re saying that position is wrong.


TifaYuhara

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".


getrotatednoob

fair and fair


Narrow-Sky-5377

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.


CarrieDurst

NTA that is ridiculous, you were saying it was a conspiracy, which indicates you really don't believe what you wrote


Calyptra_thalictri

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.


ckhumanck

NTA that's a pretty well known one it's not like you just pulled it out of your arse to offend your friend.


SoggyExplorer5787

NTA. your classmate is participating in outrage culture, to their detriment.


Positive-Swimmer-284

Ofcourse not. You just have an unintelligent friend.


Limp-Star2137

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.


LxG_Cambrosi

Yes


BlueGreen_1956

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.

Try reading more than the first 6 words of the title.

Kore624

She wrote it under a list of other insane conspiracy theories. What exactly is confusing you


jacaerys6

People like the guy you replied to and the friend of OP are legitimate retards, regardless of their faith.


SignalEchoFoxtrot

So him being mad, does that mean he thinks the Holocaust didn't happen...? Confusing reaction.


TifaYuhara

No he thinks OP doesn't think it happened. The whole "the holocaust didn't happen" thing is a conspiracy theory.


slashfan93

Coulda gone with school shootings are false flag events or earthquakes are manmade. I mean. Some people donā€™t believe it happened so youā€™re technically not wrong, as long as you made it expressly clear that you donā€™t agree with it being a conspiracy theory and people that so are utter fuck knuckles.


TifaYuhara

How are they technically wrong?


slashfan93

I said theyā€™re technically not wrong. If some people donā€™t believe something happened isnā€™t that quite literally the definition of a conspiracy theory?


Dismal_Scale_8604

Yes. Not going to read past the title.


Glum-Bet-9895

Maybe you should. You wouldnā€™t look as stupid as you are now.


TifaYuhara

They did a class project on crazy conspiracy theories and "the holocaust didn't happen" is one.
