Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    I can call out someone for acting like the death of one guy who decided to go party in the desert is anything but a sob story to generate clicks.

    There:

    This year they only had one death at Burning Man? Well there’s close to 2 death a second on a global scale. Tell me again how tragic that death was and how tragic them being stuck in mud was. Heck, I’ve seen reports of up to five deaths in a single year at BM, did you care about it? Nah you didn’t.

      look, I saw a post on another site where someone was making fun of these people and making fun of the person who died. That’s just edgelord shit in my book.

      If you want to get all technical about a word, whatever, I’m not here for that kind argument. What is tragic to some isn’t to others obviously. Empathy sure is going out the window and people will do anything to justify being a piece of shit apparently.

      And don’t sit here and tell me what I don’t care about. You don’t fucking know.
