This is why I hate “celebrity” deaths, people hailed heroes and talk about it being a real loss to so many people. It doesn’t even come close to a real loss for anyone outside of their family/friend group. Is it sad? Sure. But people go on watching that actor’s movies or listening to that singer’s music exactly as they did when they were alive. Try no longer having the people who cook your meals, give you a bath, read you bedtime stories. No longer having the people who make the world feel safe…that’s loss

@jackson55 Sorry for your loss, too. I lost my husband and son a very long time ago, but I still feel their absence and things constantly remind me.

@bijouxbroussard that’s exactly my point, the loss doesn’t even compare. People’s job or celebrity status does not make them have more value as a person. Every single person on the planet is the most important person to someone and that loss is immeasurable. It’s been 16 years since I lost my parents and I still grieve every single day

@Onryo Honestly, I don’t know anyone personally who thinks celebrities have more value than their own loved ones. But isn’t it possible for you to feel bad about the death of an artist whose music, art or performances as an actor you enjoyed throughout your life ? It is for me, and I can assure you it takes nothing away from the love I feel for my family and friends. Nor does it take away the empathy I’m capable of feeling for non-celebrities.
It’s not all or nothing for me. 🥺

I most certainly do not. I am one of 8 billion people who inhabit a spec of dust in a relatively infinitely old and large universe

Nope. Just a fleshbag with an attitude.
