People handle grief in their own ways and I don't like to judge people on how they process loss but something about shorts and tiktoks and videos made with some sad, generic pop song playing over video clips from a celebrity's funeral gives me the ick. There are ways to remember people and if you knew someone personally then maybe it'd be different but there's something off about it that I can't put my finger on.

#[ ramblings ]#have been hit too many times by watching shinee videos to then randomly be hit by clips from Jonghyun's funeral #with zoomed in close ups of the members crying and carrying his coffin like can we not????#it doesn't scream respectful to me it screams clout chasing and it just gives me the ick so badly #I really think this also just feeds into like my general thoughts on funerals being filmed/public at all it's so weird in general #like if you didn't know someone personally enough to be invited to the funeral then you don't need to see it #profiting from filming people's grief is just generall gross #and I'm sure sometimes people mean well but ???????#like ok imagine a family member of yours died and then you go on facebook and find someone random they went to school with has made a #tribute video for them and took pictures of you all in mourning and edited them badly with some sappy song overlay............#why do we think it's ok for celebrities???
