This is the kind of disgusting behavior that perpetuates people treating each other so horribly.

Dude was a piece of shit. Why are you so eager to defend him?
It’s okay to be happy awful people are dead.
DupaCycki@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Or you can just accept it as a net gain for humanity and move on.
No need to be either happy or sad.
Let’s keep our dignity and behave nice, but also let’s not pretend this is a tragedy, because it isn’t.
grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Taking a steaming dump on their graves is keeping our dignity.
This man didn’t give a tin shit about me, you, or anyone else while he lived. Why do we owe him decorum and consideration just because he got himself killed?

it’s 2026 the rich no longer get to expect dignity
they should be thankful it’s not worse given how bad off we are now

Awful as in he was responsible for day one DLC and microtransactions or awful as in he raped and murdered children?
There’s a spectrum and I’m not sure which end of it he’s on based on your comments.
grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t play Ubisoft games. I don’t have a horse in that race.
He’s awful because he was one of the money-addicted ownership class that collectively are ruining our world to fuel their addictions. Everyone in that class is a piece of shit and I don’t find much value in trying to determine the particular vintage of shit we’re dealing with. There are no “good guys” here.
I won’t wish death or harm on any of them, but I’ll certainly not shed a tear if karma gets them.
baines@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
have you actually bothered to look him up?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I never defended him. Just because I am sending his family my condolences doesn’t mean I agree with what he did or believed, it only means that I am trying to be a good human.
grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m sure his family is just fine crying into their piles of money. They don’t need my sympathy or yours.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
you’re right.
look at all the good stuff Adolph Hitler gave the world!
Mensh123@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Casually comparing a game company founder to a brutal dictator who started a devestating war and an industrialized genocide is as strech to say the least.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
it’s an obtuse example but clearly demonstrates the absurdity of the original comment

Would you say the same for Hitler? There is a line for everyone

Godwin’s law
baines@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
rich greedy people are going to treat you the same regardless
you are simping for a man that wouldn’t pee on you to put you out if you were on fire
how naive so you have to be to think bring nice to them will change their behavior
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I am fully aware that trying to be a good human results in bad humans taking advantage of me often. I am not blind to it. But being a good human means that is going to happen for as long as bad humans keep being bad humans.
I will not stoop to being a bad human just because bad humans treat me badly. I want to be a good human, and that means being a good human even to the bad humans. I don’t agree with what they do or think or believe, nor do I think that me being a good human will force anyone to change. Though some bad humans might change and become good humans, I don’t have to become a bad human just because you don’t see things the same way I do. You can live as you want and I will live as I want. And I want to be a good human, so I will try to live that way as best as I can.
As a side note, I am appreciative that hopefully nobody will piss on me, regardless of if I am on fire or not. I would much rather put the fire out myself jumping into nearby water, rolling on the floor, removing burning garments, etc. I really would like to avoid being pissed on, thank you. You may be into that, but I am not.

being happy that legitimately bad people are dead by their own actions doesn’t make one bad themselves
claiming some supposed moral high ground by continuously turning the other cheek is a mood for sure
you want to be taken advantage of fine, you do you but i’m annoyed i have to deal with the consequences of people like you burying your head in the ground, because our society is surely crumbling while people like that rich fuck take advantage of us all and people like you do less than nothing
i’m just going to ignore the nonsense in the last paragraph

Being good to bad people does nkt make you better. It makes you be easier to be used.

You can see how polarized this opinion is. Not speaking ill of the dead is a religious power thing. The idea that all deaths deserve a quiet respect is pushed by a class of elderly people in positions of power.
You can bet that when Donald Trump dies there will be parties. Some humans have no redeeming qualities and that needs to be acknowledged more. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk need to know NOW how people will regard them after death as the cancers of society they were.

It’s terrible for the health of the Fediverse, too. And probably a legal liability.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
And that’s a giant steaming lie.
There is no legal liability to say “good riddance” to a billionaire’s death
Iambus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Lemmy is good at that. Some of the worst examples of humanity are on this site.
