I absolutely agree, and hope I conveyed this in my post. People have different ways of dealing with it and they're all valid - but my point was exactly that. There is no one true horror or good, and cultural expectations are huge in defining how we think about this.

I generally agree. I do also think that moral definitions tend to come from popular culture at the time. This doesn't make them wrong or not useful, but it does make them good candidates for really questioning. I think questioning and updating can often be really useful.

The trick is that questioning the narrative was really hard to do, cause the pain around what had happened was absolutely massive, and I didn't want to invalidate it.
But I want to question the things that are hardest to question. That's where the juice is.
