The Guillemont brothers were/are not nice people, maybe that’s triggering those horrible comments like “Ah ok, anyways…”
Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash
simple@piefed.social 1 month agoyou don’t get it mate I don’t like the games ubisoft makes so making fun of someone who burned to death in a freak accident is totally justified
also his ancestors ran from the french revolution over 200 years ago. this is relevant because… uh…….

Way to skip over all the documented recent reasons people are posting.

documented recent speculation that we don’t know he was involved with? his brother yves was the ceo at the time of all this drama. Claude was just a stakeholder.
mushroommunk@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Claude was a director and deputy CEO. He was on the board. He was directly involved in the technical and business management side for years. Calling him just a stakeholder undercuts his own opinion on what he did at Ubisoft as he expressed in a few interviews himself throughout the years.
Just because you didn’t know who he was doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t. Yes Yves was the face and CEO, and thus the person directly named in the lawsuit because that’s how it works, but Claude was often cited as the quiet force behind Yves anchoring him, serving as operations officer, advisor, and other titles over time.

This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes.
scutiger@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.
Aatube@piefed.social 1 month ago
Nobody’s criticizing people for being sad.
scutiger@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I still think that’s fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s not true.

10 years ago (maybe even 5), I would have agreed with you.
I’m past that shit. There are people that I now 100% wish would do humanity a favor and kill themselves.
baines@lemmy.cafe 1 month ago
this isn’t complicated
the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you
assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes
when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong
when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fu king with our lives it should obviously not be the same
p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I had this attitude 20 years ago. I no longer do. I’ve come to realize that there are certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars). Even the rich fucks that just hoard money are actively robbing from the poor to do so, and some of those people die as a result.
How many people does a person have to kill before they are too far gone to save, and are just evil? How many levels of indirection does it take before they wouldn’t be considered evil? What happens if a person indirectly kills millions of people? Is that still far enough to call them evil?
These are the questions you should ask yourself when you try to plot out your own moral compass.

Ok, so which of those examples was this guy most like? Lol

The wealth hoarders immediately after that part you quoted.

That pretty much nails my feelings. Charlie Kirk is a huge piece of shit and I’m glad he died honestly. But I’d be a worse person if I made a personality out of mocking him for being dead. Can’t we just take the win? Fate decided a bad person was over. I wish that could be that.

good things should be celebrated
things that improve the general state of humanity are generally considered good
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Who here is making this into their personality? It’s the pearl clutchers here who are making this far bigger than it is.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
People are still posting gleeful shit about his death. I don’t care what anyone says, that’s unhealthy.
otp@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.
The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.
The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.
There’s a huge difference here.
grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I mean, yeah, Kirk was unquestionably the bigger turd but I’m happy both are gone. They’re all part of the same overarching issue with this world.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The point is was making had nothing to do with Charlie Kirk other than he was an example of people being gleeful about a death. Which is unhealthy.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.
Summzashi@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Lemmy seems waaaay more negative in general though. It’s actually kinda jarring being here sometimes.
grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Because most of us got banned on Reddit for speaking out.
I guess I have to tolerate limpdicked equivocation and “let’s all be sad some rich asshole carked it” on reddit but why here? Those spineless losers can fuck off back to reddit.
early_riser@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes, but this is just the cherry on top of a steaming turd sundae of other issues I have with Lemmy that I won’t rehash again here. It’s not like my complaining will change anything anyway.
Compare these reactions to the Ubisoft subreddit, which granted are going to skew fanward. On /r/games the conversation seems to be mixed, with a few dancing on his grave, most expressing dismay at his death while still acknowledging the harm he did to the company and industry as a whole. Plenty of people are simply discussing the dangers of small aircraft.
eleijeep@piefed.social 1 month ago
Why are you still posting?
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Both of those places are on reddit and are heavily censored.
Onyxonblack@piefed.social 1 month ago
Stop hating Lemmy. For me, it’s my way of communicating that I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist. I can do my part to sway the public opinion that humans should all go extinct. I can spread the idea of humans being the monsters, the true enemies of the planet and all it’s life. I can see it slowly taking hold of the world, people coming to terms with our monstrous nature. Someday in the far future, perhaps we all choose to self-terminate. We are not divine nor special, just meat.

Is this satire?
