But I honestly don't understand how people here can take footage of a dead girl they never met and never spoke to
You don't know this. This is an assumption.
presume to analyse it and deduce what she was thinking and feeling and make claims to that effect (they all were but the Scientology one obviously so) and not see how grotesque that is.
Question: do you think Brittany was content to believe that it was up to her to defend innocent children from a horrific death? Do you for one moment imagine this was the only instance of Andy keeping her awake at night with claims it was up to them to avert a terrible disaster?
I'll admit this is "speculation" and "presumption", but unless Brittany was as sociopathic as Andy is (which I don't believe), there's no way her time with him wasn't stressful. There's no way there wasn't "agony" involved. For god's sake, how would you feel if the very lives of children were placed on your shoulders? I don't know if you know this, but she had many little siblings she frequently cared for. To say that she went through hell with Andy isn't disrespectful. If anything, saying she was "off" is an understatement of the emotional torment she must have endured.
A torment which, if you recall, Andy has claimed didn't exist due to her not buying into his bullshit.
The comparison to other manipulated cult victims (including CoS victims) is absolutely on point. Even Abbey has said as much. Really, how much different is there between undead shaman wizards and the spirits of undead aliens? No one would pick this up from the video alone, but in context and taken with everything else we know, it ceases to be frivolous speculation.
Brittany is DEAD. And there is a frankly ghoulish and voyeuristic discussion going on about the agony behind her smile, about how "off" she is, about how her emotions are false... none of these things are okay.
To call this voyeuristic or ghoulish implies that people are taking some kind of perverse pleasure in the matter. I don't see that at all, and frankly, while you may not agree with the nature of the discussion, accusing people of essentially "doing it for kicks" is a pretty sickening accusation.
