09. [WARNING for suicide]

Yeah

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I was completely disinterested in it, and now I feel kind of bad about that.

SA

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, wait...I'm sorry. What I meant to say was that I didn't care about The Crazy ones, not that I didn't care about RW's death.

It JUST hit me that OP was saying...something different.

Re: SA

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with what you were saying. I wish now that I'd been watching the show.

[(Anonymous)]

congratulations.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that was my initial reaction. I think that was before I realized he'd killed himself.

And it was just, so much, "We miss you, Genie!" on social media, and I was struck by how little I missed him.

He wasn't my favorite anything, I found him annoying a lot of the time. And he had had a very long, successful career for a comedian. I wasn't torn up like other people.

Since then, I've read enough stuff, like Norm MacDonald's story about, "the funniest man in the world," to see what he meant to other people.

So, yes, sorry about this being rude. That's why it's a secret.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I found him annoying sometimes but eh, he's human. Tbh it affected me worse than I thought it would. I dunno. Maybe the suddenness of it?

Re: OP

[solticisekf]

Aren't you thinking a bit too much about it? I wouldn't worry about reacting a curtain way to this.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of felt the same way at first. I talked to my therapist about it, but she told me it was pretty normal. When we all have different things we are invested in, and one affects those around us more because of how much it meant to them, it's easy to feel in contrast that we are insensitive. But we have things and people that would hit us hard, too. We don't all have the stamina to take on every single sad thing in the world. And that's okay as long as we don't go diminishing what they mean to other people.

[(Anonymous)]

I can see why this is a secret. Congrats, your the most insensitive person on the planet.

[ceebeegee]

Seriously! What a dick thing to say. If you don't care about someone's suicide for whatever reason, why announce it like you want a cookie? Just go on not-caring and living your life.

[(Anonymous)]

My first thought was also for the cast of The Crazy Ones, and I also was guiltily relieved to learn it was already canceled. I still feel bad for everyone who knew him, but I just can't make myself care on a personal level. Too many good people die every day who didn't get to have awesome successful lives first.

What?

[(Anonymous)]

Too many good people die every day who didn't get to have awesome successful lives first. This is really bothering me – what the hell does it matter how successful someone was? How about the fact that an actual person with actual feelings was in a lot of pain and is now dead? How about the fact that a kind, caring, charitable person who tried his best to make other people happy is gone?

Re: What?

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously.

When Steve Jobs died, a friend on Facebook mentioned how no one cares when a random person dies in a third world country. Really? We're doing that? Death is sad. And yes, famous people were loved too. Robin Williams was "Dad" to someone. He was someone's husband. Who cares how famous he was or wasn't? People need to stop doing that.

Re: What?

[(Anonymous)]

DA
I kind of get what they're saying, though. When my mom died, it was like nobody noticed. It was like the whole world didn't care. It still makes me really resentful whenever I think about how we couldn't afford to commemorate her life the way even middle class people can. So I can understand their feeling.

[(Anonymous)]

Please do not create these sorts of hierarchies when it comes to people dying. It makes sense to care less when someone dies whom you didn't know or who didn't have an impact on your life. But the fact that someone was successful or not successful does not at all take away from the value that they had as an individual person, or from the fact that they are dead. There are a lot of competitions in life, but life itself is not one of them. We aren't worth less at the end of it simply because we had more or fewer accomplishments than the other guy.

[(Anonymous)]

My first reaction to the news of Robin Williams' suicide was whether the show had been cancelled and if it had anything to do with his decision to take his life. But had the show been renewed before Robin Williams' death, his death would've insured its cancellation anyway as he was beyond a shadow of a doubt the central focus and their main marketing draw. To be honest, though, I thought the show was terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

SA
I misunderstood the secret, I think.

[greenvelvetcake]

Ah yes, the inevitable "[thing] just happened that everyone's talking about and I don't care about [thing] at all, aren't I interesting?" secrets.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

If I were really trolling for being interesting, I could have been a bigger bitch about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I really liked that show, and I think its cancellation was probably the biggest "wrong" of the 2013-14 season. It's ratings had dipped, but I'm pretty sure they would have came back up if networks these days weren't so notoriously trigger happy.

(And not that I'm blaming the network for Robin William's death in the slightest, but I've heard some reports that say the cancellation was just devastating to him, because he felt like, because it was his face on the billboards and his name attached to all the press before everyone else, its success and failure was riding on his shoulders. And then it failed.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't care either. I mean. I'm not telling anyone how to grieve or that people shouldn't, but I really can't bring myself to care, because my best friend died on the same day and I might have been saying "WHO THE FUCK CARES" everytime someone mentioned Williams to me. I still don't give a fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry about your friend.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry about your friend, but you hurting isn't a good excuse to be rotten to other people.

[(Anonymous)]

One of the prevailing sentiments across social media was this idea that people who did care about RW's death and people who didn't care about RW's death should be treated with the same respect and care. Sorry, no. That you were NOT affected by something? That gets nothing. That doesn't get support and well-wishes and internet hugs, because you're not NOT okay. You're fine. That you might be irritated by everyone caring about the death of someone you don't give a fig about--? Keep it to yourself. Keep your stupid I-don't-care opinion to yourself, because it DOES NOT MATTER. Not caring should mean not sharing, not participating. That all of these people who don't care feel it's important to tell everyone that they don't.. It is NOTHING but douche-y. Nothing. Douche-y and self-involved.
