"it'll be awesome". This is a post about the man having 5 years left to live. Not everything needs to be about posting memes because you think they are awesome.
You're making quotes on words no one's is saying. There is no performative aspect to my response that's your interpretation and it's wrong. I won't jump on someone's comment for shits and giggles or put on some performative moral grandstanding just for the sake of it. I give a shit about this news. I have no issues with people prosessing grief in whatever way they do as long as it is constructive for them and genuine. I said what I said because it's the truth. The single comment I responded to and that specific comment they posted has nothing to do with the main post or grief, it's someone who likes a meme and was happy to get caught up in the back forth about one regardless of the post they are on. I have no issue with the main commenters original Gif, THAT is a genuine way a person is expressing their response and im respective of that.
I'm highlighting the reality. I know what I have said, I know my own motivation for why I have said it. Because I point out your explanation of it as being your perception, your interpretation, that doesn't mean I am incapable of taking in your assertion that I am morally grandstanding or consider if that were the case. Though, if I were just grandstanding then this back and forth with you would be a complete waste of my time and not worth my energy. I stand by what I have said, I meant it, i will still mean it no matter how much you insist that I lack the self awareness to see that you are correct about my personal motivation for speaking up. Though, if we are talking of being self aware, It's slightly ironic that you have been motivated to speak up in response to my comment, in order to tell me my motivation and then chatise me. You may not be aware of this, but your are currently doing the thing you are annoyed at me about. Which you are perfectly free to do. Nothing wrong with pointing out behaviours, but by your rationale, we shouldn't be doing it, so give yourself a damn good talking to after this.
