#and it was disrespectful to make a mass grave into a tourist attraction

I strongly agree that there are world events that deserve much more news coverage and resources than the Titan because frankly it should’ve been immediately assumed they were dead when sonar couldn’t find them and communication was lost.

However, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to compare the EU coast guard and the US and Canada's various first response teams that responded to the Titan. Because they’re separate entities.

Do I think people should care more about the refugee ship that capsized due to alleged incompetence of the coast guard? Yes. I do. And I hope more survivors can be found because that was a genuine tragedy.

Do I think that it should be getting the same kind of attention as the Titan? Not really. Because people are just memeing on the Titan, and the average tumblr user has around $0.20 to their name and maybe 400 followers so this isn’t a very good platform for getting meaningful help for those affected by that situation.

This isn’t even a “you can care about two things at once” situation, because again with the Titan you should be very amused by 4/5 of those deaths whereas there’s nothing funny about what happened to that fishing ship. These are very different niches in cultural awareness and your ire should be towards media companies over random people on social media.

#Idk it just feels like getting mad at someone for posting spongebob memes instead of signal boosting that a genocide is occurring #like sure if someone genuinely thinks the Titan is more tragic just because it’s rich white people then yeah #please do clown away #but it’s just a bit weird to act like people don’t have compassion for the migrants who died just because they’re mocking rich folk for dyi #guy who intentionally removed any and all safety features getting crushed into paste instantly by his own hubris #is objectively funny and I will continue laughing at Stockton rush until I die #especially since he talked up how safe it was and then named it after the titanic only for it to share the same fate #perfect set up and punchline #genuine R.I.P. to the innocent guy on board but the others were absolute morons to do it to begin with #The contract you had to allegedly sign to go on the trip? Absurd #it wouldn’t have been a good view even if successful #and it was disrespectful to make a mass grave into a tourist attraction #so I’ll toast to the death of Stockton rush and his idiotic name forever
