You are allowed to think what you like, obviously, but since you said that you weren't following the full coverage on it i just wanted to let you know that there were only five people (plus the pilot) on board the "submarine" and they were all billionaire business men.

okay ty! yah like i said it wasn't an informed opinion on the situation, just an inarticulate reflection on the current state of my dash haha. mainly it's just a generalised personal discomfort with media coverage of tragedies lol. obvs billionaires are inherently unethical and don't need defending so it's not even rly about them tbh. intended as more of a personal post than serious commentary yk (honestly i assumed there were some kinda employees on board along with them sjdjgjf - i'm uninformed mostly on purpose lol, i feel uncomfortable looking for details. but thanks for clarifying + not being rude dw i hear you)

#i forget how many active followers i have tbh haha #not to tmi and i don't wanna talk abt it more but a friend of mine died alone in a hiking accident on the other side of the world last week #and within hours of her being found i had a fucking news reporter messaging me on facebook asking to comment for their 'tribute' to her #so im Sensitive abt it sjdkfjg #as a general rule im not rly comfortable w paying close attention to news of unexpected deaths unless they're like. public political figures #i saw an arcticle on my dash about like. the family of one of the ppl involved w ppl joking abt their perceived reactions and i just can't #personally get on board with it 😭 i just think ppl have the right to mourn privately even if they're evil #it's abt the mourning thing specifically tbh #this is also the. Third time i've had journalists get nosy abt an untimely death of a friend/relative #i just can't vibe w morbid curiousity abt recent/ongoing accidents tbh (even tho i know it's a pretty natural thing to do)#anyway this is once again a personal post not trying to get into discourse over this pls (ur fine anon this doesnt count)
