One thing I always notice is that it's borne of privilege, and those stories don't really tell the stories of folks outside that privilege. Abuse victims--mostly tho not always women--are damaged by that abuse, and are often then left in the cold by society to learn to navigate it alone.

Along the same lines, black folks live in a society where there are prejudices *everywhere*, *all the time*, and violence can hit them or their loved ones with no warning, often by people notionally tasked to protect them.

There's also a component of personal connectivity - I have family members who experienced WWII under the Nazis and lived to tell about it. And I grew up in a society that made it a point to accept some of the guilt. That's not an experience shared by most US-born Americans.
