There’s a difference between mocking a person for “fucking around and finding out” and a mocking a person for asking for emotional support because of his own fear and anxiety over a brother he couldn’t make save himself. That’s compounded by the fact it is a person in this community. It would be one thing if the post were the brother’s tweets flaunting the disease, but mocking the poster for asking for support is shitty regardless of how you justify it.
Huge difference between blasting anti-vax messages online and pushing conspiracy theories constantly vs just not getting it based on poor decision making
If you’re looking for emotional support don’t do it in a thread of people laughing at people dying for being stupid.
I mean, there are a ridiculous number of posters who have either celebrated, or wished death, on pretty much all unvaccinated people. I wasn't standing up for kinghill, hes a piece of shit. But he certainly isn't the only one. I hope your brother makes a quick and full recovery. I also have family and friends that won't get the shot, I get the frustration.
The covid testing person had to weigh two very interesting options Either not test Candace Owens because of her part in making the world worse Forego the CHANCE of being able to tell Candace that she has covid, getting a hit of dopamine i can only dream of
I'm not trying to justify anything. The majority of this thread is shitty. Jump all over the public figures, but those aren't the only people posted in here.
Guys, we have tens of thousands of people to make fun of in here. Let’s just leave this one poster’s brother out of this. It’s hardly a big ask.
The ones being posted aren't just random people that died. It's people that were openly anti-vax and spread misinformation. Not getting the vax and keeping it to yourself is one thing. Actively trying to convince others not to get it is a different thing.
missed the drama so I am only guessing, but it would seem that the post about somebody's brother and asking for nuance and compassion would have been better posted in the covid thread and not this thread
Yeah, there definitely aren't posts all over this board rooting for basically all unvaccinated people to die.
this really seems like an easy concept to process but i get the finger waggers have to come in here and be incredibly disingenuous to show how principled and above the fray they are
My response when he posted in Bama thread. It's the only reasonable take. How do some of you people function irl?
Listen up, shit head. This isn’t about his brother and his choices. It’s about supporting the guy that’s here and his family that do the right things, and are being impacted by the choices. Fuck off.
chipperk are you unvax and this is your way of whining about people laughing at people that spread misinformation dying? That's what this feels like.
Couple of things: (1) Drown ‘Em is a good poster. He’s not some chud who denied covid’s potency and subjected himself to derision from the board. (2) The only reason he’s in this thread is that he was pulled into it and forced to defend not his own actions but his brothers. It’s incredibly shitty to impose that on a member of our own community when he’s obviously going through some shit.
Can we all just put the shitheads in this thread on ignore and stop responding to them please. I would love to see this thread back on track in 30 minutes.
You gotta be a complete bag of shit person to try and drag someone concerned about their brother into this thread.
guys i am going to completely misrepresent this thread and people's takes about anti vaxxers so i can lecture you all from my position as the one true man of virtue on this board
You’re likely just auditing the size of platform at this point. I don’t really care how far they reach or how broad their audience is, these people were all detrimental to our society. sorry if people yall know fucked around, I’ll save my sympathy for those that took precautions and got sick because of these dumb fucks
There’s a difference in fucking around a just being unsure of the side effects. There’s such a thing as nuance in this world. You have no idea what his brother’s situation and life experience is. By the minimal I’ve read (one post about it) it doesn’t sound like his brother is some Trumptard microchip fearing paste eater.
Some of you need to learn empathy and I hope you do before you’re put in the situation of losing or being close to losing a loved one.
Nobody asked for sympathy for the unvax'd person. It was a brother venting that his brother is sick and he's worried for his brother. "Fuck your brother, hope he dies!" is a really weird take and one I can guarantee you wouldn't have irl.
I am literally in the same boat as the poster. It sucks to see constant hope that unvaccinated people will get Covid and die. Its not an easy thing to convince people to get vaccinated. The support is great, but it is overshadowed when you know the death of a person you are close to would very likely be celebrated by many here.
No, I was vaccinated in May. But like the other poster, I have family and friends that aren't. Luckily nothing bad has happened yet.
You don’t know me irl. We can stop discussing an individuals brother in this thread but let’s stop auditing and requesting empathy for people that are directly causing public health issues
I have several relatives that are extolling the virtues of ivermectin on Facebook. I would like it very much if they end up on a vent. Don't blame others who wish better for their unvaccinated relatives though.
