I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone’s loss of life isn’t right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it’s morally wrong.

    We’re joking about deaths all the time. The Titanic itself has been used for jokes for decades.

    I think the main point of all the jokes in this case is the absurdity of the situation. Like, a bunch of ultimately inconsequential people die in admittedly somewhat weird circumstances and the media seems to go haywire. Nobody should care about this, since it’s not more than a weird story for anyone not related to the people. Joking about that is just a way to put the situation into its place, so to speak.

      Honestly I do get why it got so much media attention. Media companies exist to make money, to do that they need to get people’s attention. Submarines, especially civilian ones that go deep like this, are rare and unusual things, so this story, while of little practical consequence to most, is very good at getting people’s interest.

        And I hate them for that.

        “News” like that is absolutely worthless information, it’s just used as a tool to place ads. And for some reason people still click on it? I don’t get it. Maybe humans weren’t a good idea.
