Something I would like to talk about in regards to the "What if it happened to you" thing

[CosmicEternity44]

Here is something I wish to talk about: I hate it when people say mean things about a thing like a person’s death or some other scenario like that, such as hating on a woman who wants an abortion. I also hate it when they get offended when they get upset over people saying things like “What if it happened to you”, which has happened with me saying something like that others in the social thread before. Now, those people are, to me, getting offended over nothing, especially since anything can happen to anyone, including, in the case of abortion, women getting ***** and needing an abortion to not have a baby. Some people think they are, or act like they are immune to various things, including but not limited to that, BUT they are not. In regards to what I was talking about on this site's social thread, we were talking about the Queen Elizabeth person who ruled over Great Britain and died around a year or two ago(?). Say what you will about that person, but I find it disrespectful to say bad things about her or anyone, especially in terms of their death, and no matter who it is, not only is it vey disrespectful, but what they said about her can be said about anyone during their death. No one wants that kind of thing to happen to them, or be said about them, so why talk about others like it is okay when you are not immune?

Another thing I should mention is that during the Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC days, a bunch of fans, who were overly hyped thinking the character from Super Mario RPG, Geno, would be a DLC character for that game and were not containing their excitement. I tried to tell them to do so, and hype responsibly, but not only would they not listen, but they got needlessly offended over what I said. I bet you could see where that got them in the end when Sephiroth was the Square DLC pick instead of Geno. Naturally, I stayed out of the Geno thread before it closed after Sephiroth was revealed, so I do not know what necessarily happened there then, but I can imagine it was very bad. These are the kind of things that can and will happen when you don't hype responsibly, contain your excitement and end up wrong. Sure, it can be an annoyance, but things like what I described still a valid suggestion; to me, a very valid suggestion; to listen to. Anyone can be wrong, and no one is an exception to anything.

Do you all see what I mean? What do you all think?

 

[Nah]

I agree with a lot of this, though not this bit, or the general idea behind it anyway:

Say what you will about that person, but I find it disrespectful to say bad things about her or anyone, especially in terms of their death, and no matter who it is, not only is it vey disrespectful, but what they said about her can be said about anyone during their death.

If you were a piece of **** in life, that doesn't change when you die and death shouldn't suddenly give you the right to no longer be criticized or anything. There was nothing wrong with people being pleased that a monster who was never held accountable like, say, Henry Kissinger finally died. And something I've noticed over the years is that the whole "don't be mean to people when they die" thing tends to be applied selectively, and is often brought up in regards to people who were just outright terrible.

I can't speak on Lizzie specifically since, while she is one of the most famous monarchs in history, I don't really know much about her. But there is valid reason to loathe the British royal family in general, certainly at least Prince "I couldn't sweat at the time" Andrew.

Should people be a tactless ***** to the family and friends of the deceased, especially around the time of their death? No. Is there something morally inferior about calling a monster a monster after they die? Also no.
