    No, let’s point cameras at her face and remind her incessantly of her dead husband!

      I don’t understand whether or not this is sarcastic, or why you’d need to be sarcastic here.

        It’s humor to deflect the sad reality that paparazzi stalk and harrass these people constantly.

          Maybe I’m overly sensitive but sarcasm against something that didn’t need it at all just seemed to twist the mood on a post that should warrant some somber respect.

            They’re not sarcastic about these circumstances, but about how we as a society treat the people affected by them.

            Though it’s fair if you don’t want to focus on that in this context.

              That’s exactly what my thing is here, indeed. It just felt weird. Imagine saying that at a funeral e.g.

                Everyone deals with things differently. My grandfathers funeral was essentially a party in his memory. You’re absolutely allowed to feel the way you do, but so is everyone else.

                  I suppose that’s true.

                  And Jesus, the amount of down votes just for voicing my feelings. Love it when online communities spin the wheel on comment karma. Nowhere am I being rude or anything like that. 🙄 Sometimes I feel like I’m back on Reddit, you know what I mean?

                    Look back on your comments in this thread.

                    Every single sentence peppered with “me” and “I”

                    Your points are not about the subject at hand, they’re just all “me me me me and my self-righteousness”

                    That’s probably why!

        They are being sarcastic because that’s what they think it’s the proper way to behave.
