Yes what if an Ukrainian babushka without sense of humour visits me, come on now
With that attitude, I don't think you have to worry about anyone visiting you.
God I wish
To be fair just mentioning nuclear power at all in a lot of Europe makes some 60+ year olds scream about it being the worst thing ever
A friend of mine has birth defects that very likely stem from Tschernobyl radiation. And they were born quite a distance away
I have several birth defects like hole in my heart or worse mobility in my hips, making me walk weird. I was born in 90s Latvia. I cannot tell for sure whether Chernobyl played a role in said defects, but what I know for sure is that I really love everything Chernobyl, have played the shit out of STALKER games and love the humor revolving around it. Used to even do a lot of shitposting related to Chernobyl accident (in relevant subs of course). To me it seems like people closest to Chernobyl tend to take it well.
That sucks
