Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I don't think you should be feeling some of the utter glee that I'm seeing some people espouse. You can find it funny, you can feel indifferent, even a little glad that such a dickhead isn't in the world anymore, but some of the stuff that people are saying on social media (using their full name and photo like an idiot) is a little disconcerting. I don't think it's healthy.
I couldn't give a shit about Kirk personally or his family, but I've seen friends turn to extreme levels of sadistic joy, watching the video again and again, and trying to get me to watch it, pretending to have a party about it.
...I dunno, that doesn't seem like a mentally healthy thing to be doing.
No, celebrating it makes you not much better morally and emotionally. A sense of justice though? I can see that.
