Does anyone else feel the submersible memes go a little too far?

[smahala1991]

I mean I know we meme everything nowdays, but some of the memes are kinda harsh.

[provokeesmokee]

Nah. Everyone on board that was an idiot, including the 19yo (though he did try not getting in, so he's less an asshole than his dad but he still is an ex con for assault and stalking among other things).

Plus, again, every single warning was given. Those rich men thought themselves smart instead of just rich, and paid with their lives.

Like the Titanic, they were warned about their doom and proceeded anyways because the vessel was "invulnerable".

The worst part is the CEO, engineer, and designer died quickly and without suffering along with the people he killed. So he can't be brought to justice, he escaped it.

how will you feel when people are glad of your death?

[Whatthefluff]

I definitely agree. I think it’s honestly sickening that people are showing such inhumanity because the victims were wealthy. It doesn’t take away from the fact that it was a tragedy I wouldn’t wish upon anyone or their families.

[Whatthefluff]

Very interesting example of how social media is a mirror of contemporary socio-political ideas, though.

[joeND]

its sick to make fun of the dead

[Whatthefluff]

@joeND agreed v

[joeND]

omg i hated this, making fun of those not even believed to be dead yet. I told people on twitter this on young man said its funny. II unfollowed a woman I liked for this insensitive posts repeated many times.

[asphaltrhymes]

I certainly think many have been insensitive and I'm not even a relative or related to any and I felt for the news coverage the whole week in my soul 💗💗💗☮️🥲

[LostandFound__x]

My thing is I know what they did was silly and they’re wealthy people and migrants drown all the time with little media coverage etc etc…but I can’t help but feel bad.

They are still humans. They died. And their families are grieving them. A truly classy and respectful person wouldn’t mock anyone in these circumstances.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I agree with you, these memes go a little too far.

[TomMarks]

Yeah, they are making jokes about people dying. That is way too far.

[SnowedIn]

Yeah. They sink to a new low.

[KateDemee]

little wow

[KateDemee]

Lol wow* low

[SnowedIn]

@KateDemee... I couldn't resist the pun.

[KateDemee]

Haha was smart but low. I laughed but felt bad for laughing since I agreed the memes were low but then you made me laugh

[SnowedIn]

Lol thanks.

Like, I feel terrible that people died but this was 100000000% preventable. And not just by them getting in the submersible but by how it was built. I don't think this is a tragedy: again, terrible that people died and I feel bad for their families but this so did not have to happen.

[Pink2000]

I feel bad for laughing at them.
