Honestly, what's really different about being bummed out about a human celebrity's death vs. a cat celebrity?

You don't know either of them. They're both just ideas that you have a personal connection to. The idea of Grumpy Cat can affect people just as much as the idea of human celebrities.

You can't really mourn either, because again, you have no real relation to them. But as far as being a fan of something/someone you admired from a distance, Grumpy Cat surely has as much impact (if not more) to her fans.

This is very unkind.

You absolutely can mourn a death. You didn't personally know a celeb, but that doesn't mean they didn't have an affect on your life, or that it doesn't feel like a loss.

Also:

okay but the whole ~it's a commentary~ thing seems to be based on the idea that people aren't sad enough about Real! People! Dying!, even when they didn't know them at all

if you're just talking about "the affect they had on your life" then there's no reason why human celebrities and animal celebrities should have some kind of moral hierarchy. grumpy cat also had an effect on many people's lives!

you can mourn *when* they die, you can be sad, but you said it yourself, it's about you, it's not about mourning them

You are dictating the terms of people's mourning.

You do not get to do that.

Grief is rarely logical. People often mourn ideas as well as people and animals.
