Actually, for me this year has been one of the greatest years of my life. So to see people say "fuck <the year in which my son was born>" over B-list celebrities, yes, it can be a bit of a problem. Where were all these not-Star-Wars Carrie Fisher fans before she died? Where were these George Michael fans before he died? This is not to say they aren't deserving of being mourned. This is to say, the people who take 5 seconds to post on social media are transparent and only cheapen the mourning of these people's real families.

>So to see people say "fuck <the year in which my son was born>" over B-list celebrities, yes, it can be a bit of a problem. Because it's all about you? People who say that don't know whether your son was born, and could not care less. >Where were all these not-Star-Wars Carrie Fisher fans before she died? Where were these George Michael fans before he died? Buying millions of CDs for decades and filling in stadiums? Heck, Wham! are even presented as the "greatest band ever" in Deadpool, a 2016 movie.

My daughter was born this year, too, which was a bright ray of sunshine among the clouds. > Where were all these not-Star-Wars Carrie Fisher fans before she died? Where were these George Michael fans before he died? I don't know; where are you? Whose death would sadden you, and why are you not praising them and cheering on their accomplishments right now? People who take 5 seconds to post on social media are mourning. What do you expect them to do? Shave their eyebrows, write essays, get tattoos? I'd wager that George Michael's and Carrie Fisher's families are probably buoyed by the support they see for their family members, and for the outpouring of love for them. Sorry if our grieving process, or our celebration of someone's life, is slightly inconvenient for you.
