Oh dear, and I thought I was making a cheap joke - you see, we don´t have breast cancer awareness month here in Germany
Even here in the U.S., you have to be extra especially plugged in to have noticed the complaints. The din of the mainstream support for the pink ribbon movement is rather hard to get a word in edgewise around. I don't make a big deal of it on the DC forums, but I spend a considerable amount of my free time involved in activism for a band of political movements which do not begin with R, D, L, C, or S.

Sorry for the evasion. I don't mind stating what my beliefs are, but arguments stress me out. Anyone who is curious is free to ask in private so long as they promise not to chew me out or pick a fight.

Yeah, I didn't suspect otherwise.

What bugged me is that if the characters all KNOW that it is an amusement park and not a cemetery then I should also know. Holding that information back just felt like the story was trying to do a clever misdirection, but which only served to create a very jarring "wait, what? Since when were they in an amusement park?" moment, which ended my immersion for a while as I tried to figure it out. I like to sink into the characters' heads, but when the narration intentionally misleads my picture of the setting away from what the characters are seeing, it destroys that immersion for me.
I was ok with that. It felt like a Buffy open to me. They let us in on the secret pretty early on so it felt like an icebreaker. In a good way and not in that
awkward-first-date-with-an-event-coordinator way.
