    Nobody’s criticizing people for not being sad. There’s a word for this, “gloating”.

      I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.

          Part of the 0.01%, made absurd amounts of money making games worse, heading a company actively fighting against unionisation.

            Something online users cannot understand is that one thing can be bad and and another thing can be thousands of times worse. It really shouldn’t be so hard.

              Yes, causing harm to thousands of people is significantly worse than one person dying in a crash.

                  Tell that to the families of the millions of poor affected by the wealth hoarders’ actions.

                  Do you exercise even a fucking moment of thought before you say something?

                  They can wipe their tears with the millions of dollars he “extracted” from his customers and his own workers.

                    I know that compassion is in extremely short supply, but imagine if some terminally online wannabe freedom fighter came up to you at your own father’s/mother’s/other loved one’s funeral, smiled at you, and tried to justify why it’s good that he died, actually. I think you’d want to punch the fucker.

                    I’m pretty sure Guillemot was a sociopath. There are many people whose deaths I would feel bad for, but he’s not one of them.

        I don’t see anyone criticizing people for not being sad. There’s a difference between that and criticizing people for being jubilant (not just not sad) about death.
