MODERATORS
Turkish resorts. They are mostly in places where people were taken in bunches to the sea and thrown off board just a bit more than 100 years ago. And anything Turkish tbh. Oh yes, there is a lot of friendliness of the "oh so your ancestors are from Ispir, mine too, I have friends in Ispir, come visit" kind. It feels mind-bending, because it's always orthogonal to whether the person saying it thinks that genocide is, you know, not okay.
I would probably want to see the less tourist (less inhabited honestly) parts, where villagers follow you with suspicious looks.
Various despotic monarchies attracting scammers and whores. That is, I'd probably be interested to take a look, but the fact that there are places where you can be jailed arbitrarily technically doesn't instill confidence.
Israel. Being part Jewish too, I'd kinda feel like complicit in evil. I've felt that once, don't want to repeat yet.
Basically, anything Israeli and Turkish because they won't admit their genocide.
What about Japan?
Not because they won't admit it, but because they won't unpair their core identities from it.
For the same reason Japan has options, while these two don't.
