That video upset me to the point of tears. But you watched it, knowing full well that it would include Brittany talking about life with Andy. Which, if I'm following your line of argument here, is a disrespectful and possibly unethical act. You watched the video, and after it upset you, you called foul and started invoking arguments about the morality of consuming and discussing things that you don't think should be part of the public record. After doing exactly what you're trying to condemn other people for doing. I... don't understand the thought process involved in doing something and then getting mad at other people for doing the same thing, yet showing no self-reflection regarding your own participation.
The current consensus seems to be that while it's a fine line to walk between healthy discussion and overspeculation when talking about Andy's victims, nobody has yet crossed that line. The mod is clearly doing her best to navigate that delicate balance. TF's biggest weapon is rhetoric: how he talks about himself, his life, his victims and his victims' lives. He is incredibly invested in shifting and changing narratives. If we can't talk about the basic facts and interpretations of those facts, we can't effectively shine a light on how Andy twists the truth.
The person who has been disrespectful to Brittany's memory is and always has been Andy. Going on a tear because nonnies want to talk about that doesn't change that simple fact.
Finally, perhaps you would be better served, personally, by stepping back from materials such as the video, since they seem to have an exceptional affect on you. Again, nothing wrong with that. Empathy is a powerful and positive thing.
