C, not only is it pathetic, but it often feeds into the "Hurr durr I live under a rock and don't know this A-list celebrity" shitposting that has been an ulcer on CE for some time.

Eh, I want to say C. Only because it does seem like people just post that to piss people off and don't legitimately care who the person was tbh.

Like for me there's a difference between people who post "who" (some people don't even bother putting a damn question mark half the time) and people who post stuff like "Who? What happened to the person? How they died?" Granted, those are easily googleable questions, but it does show (at least to me) some care and concern for the person who died tbh.

But then again it would help if more people added more information about the person or the situation in the Topic's original post. Too many people make topics with topic titles like "Person XYZ died" and the opening post will be "Nt" or "This is so tragic. :/"

I've seen topics reporting people that I've never heard of died. I either google it or just don't post.

C, you can either Google the person or just ignore the topic if it doesn't mean anything to you.

Honestly, I think it's annoying anytime someone posts in a topic with no interest in the subject. Like, if there's a topic about El Camino or something and someone posts that they've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad and don't care to, it makes me wonder what the point of them clicking on the topic or posting was supposed to be.

I think it just may be a moddable offense now. Because there's also a thread regarding John Witherspoon over at the Movies At The Theater board and someone said "Who" there and that post is now deleted.

When marked, it is modded. Trolling or offensive usually.

It serves no purpose and just antagonizes the people mourning. So yeah...

The ask a genuine question regarding that person instead of just, "Who".

Pretty sure some dude got warned for it and was posting something like how he just got modded for saying "dunno who that is" or something to that effect.

Now to be fair I've been modded for saying perfectly harmless things before, but obviously that is disrespectful in a "someone just passed away" topic. I normally just never post in those as it does not suit my general demeanor on here and I never know who the person is.

Edit: And this post is in the context of when another gfaqs user passes away. When it comes to celebrities, eh it's not as big a deal. Someone can just be asking about who the person was and it's more of a news item because celebrity deaths always get media attention.

This isnt real life. Youre on the internet which means youre 5 seconds away from finding out who it is. You can always not post or just say Rest In Peace instead of the rest of the bullshit.

That's practical not edgy. No one is getting their feelings hurt from this kind of behavior. It's the definition of fake outrage.

The problem is tone deaf people who would rather make themselves look like an ass while waiting for somebody to tell them who a person is instead of taking a few seconds to use a search engine and finding out for themselves.

There's no excuse for this kind of ignorance.

I absolutely wasn't being disrespectful when i made that post. But i admit i should have googled who the person was. It's not my style to do s*** like that. I just made a simple mistake. We are humans. It's what we do make mistakes. But it's learning from them that matters. And now i know not to just post anything like that again. So yeah guys my bad.
