Maybe this is simplifying the issue but sometimes I hate that my culture takes such a constantly sober approach to death that it is automatically considered disrespectful to be happy in a cemetery.

[(Anonymous)]

I was wondering if that was the problem here. I think sometimes it is that simple, unless you want to add in the part that it's a happy young woman taking selfies, so that's x100 more disrespectful.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you seriously implying that the only reason people might object to someone taking quirky selfies and climbing over graves in a culture where that's generally frowned upon is because HOMG SEXISM?

[(Anonymous)]

Did your reading comprehension take the day off?

The implication is an added element. Your weird assed culture surrounding death is the primary one.

"weird assed culture surrounding death"
Lol you're not even trying are you?

[(Anonymous)]

Also "x100 more disrespectful" definitely sounds like this is your main issue. So no, my reading comprehension is fine.

[(Anonymous)]

yes you are right when i read "x100 more disrespectful" i think "this person is being very serious and literal here

[(Anonymous)]

As if intentional hyperbole was only ever a sign of "totally not serious, just joking" and never used to make a point.

When I was working in care and one of our residents passed away, a colleague of mine was doing this really full-on, over-the-top fake crying at the funeral. She said afterwards that where she came from it was basically unheard of for people to not be crying and inconsolable during funerals, and she thought it was really weird there wasn't more crying and that the lady's family told a few light-hearted anecdotes and jokes in the eulogy.

She probably wouldn't have been impressed with my friend's funeral where his son arranged for a singalong of Al Martino's 'Quando Quando Quando,' one of his favourite songs. It was surreal but it was exactly the kind of light-hearted thing he would have wanted. He would've found it hilarious.

Ugh, yes. Our culture really needs to just get over its issues with death in general, honestly. I also hate how the only "acceptable" reaction to someone's death is to be constantly sad and preoccupied with the dead person. When my grandmother died, I was actually relieved because her health had really been deteriorating for a while and I was happy that she wasn't suffering anymore. I missed her, of course, but she'd had a long and happy life and it was better for her to not linger on as a shell of what she was. But apparently I was supposed to be devastated or something, IDK. It's dumb.
