A guy who nobody here knows starts a thread about someone who even less of us know, in an act of grotesque tragedy porn. Why is the manner and even fact of this woman's death relevant to anyone other than her friends and family and MAYBE the local people in her community? This is about as relevant to us as when the news talks about some random young white woman who was murdered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin or whatever and I'm supposed to care about it in Marietta, Georgia. I don't care, I don't give a fuck, and I feel the same about this. I feel about the same modicum of pity and condolence for this woman and her surviving folks as I do for the scads of other people who die untimely deaths on a daily basis throughout the world.
Obviously I'm not alone in that because 80% of the responses to the thread weren't serious, nor should they be.
So then, an envoy from the aforementioned butt-hurt army shows up and just pounds the outrage button on his keyboard a few times before hitting enter. The catharsis of fake outrage must feel pretty good, because another came out of the woodwork after that. It's ridiculous, and ridicule was the appropriate response to it.
