My Letter to Markiplier After His Curtis Lepore Collab

Hey Mark. You're probably not going to see this, given every bit of a mail you get, but I have to get this off my chest.  & you have to know what's happening.  What’s REALLY happening. Let me start off with this: I have been a committed fan since September 2012.  I have been an active member of the community on Tumblr [I remember when it was EMPTY & literally only me & six other people posting videos.]  I have been to a number of livestreams & donated to a number of charities.  I’ve been a part of many Facebook groups that have come & gone.  & I have gotten to know other Markiplier fans in schools & communities that I have been in.  Believe me when I say that I adore you & this channel.  You inspire me to be a better person with your charity work.  You have been the reason I keep going through tough times in my life.  You have been a motivation for us all.

controversial essay response

Discussion prompt: In this module, we briefly touched on the topic of compassion fatigue as it relates to public exposure to images of war and human suffering. With these sources in mind, consider the following question: Can compassion fatigue be reconciled with the need to bear witness? Is it possible to bear witness and reach an audience despite the risk/existence of compassion fatigue?   Use examples from the module content to illustrate your argument. Another element must be considered in order to bridge the gap between the two extremes of bearing witness and experiencing compassion fatigue.  Simply witnessing or exposing situations falls short of what is truly required.  An event doesn’t just need to be perceived; there needs to be a call to action.   If there is no nuance, no greater purpose, exposing or recalling an event becomes repetitive at best, exploitative at worst.  But sadly the formula for conflict photography (identify conflict area, photo...
