"unless they venture into spaces where it's a big deal."

Or if they venture anywhere near someone to whom it is a big deal. And you can't always know if that's likely to happen or not. If people mourn in public, they should be prepared for the public to respond to that and it doesn't have to be with sympathy. Of course it would be nice for the unsympathetic people to ignore it but sometimes that can be really hard. I'd love to move on from hearing about Cory Monteith's death but even now it just keeps coming back up. It's like some people don't want to let go of the feelings they get from publicly mourning someone they didn't even know. That's why we have two secrets in one post, both of which were submitted at least 6 days after his death.

I think the point of this secret was that these people can just suck it up. If it's so hard for them to let others mourn someone they like, they've got issues.

I haven't seen anything about Monteith's death on tumblr for a while now, and I happen to follow LOTS of Glee fans. It was all I could see on my dash the day he died, and for a couple of days after it was still pretty prevalent, but now it's not there much. How is that so horrifically annoying that anyone would have to be an asshole about it?

Posts weren't just on tumblr, people who don't even know any Glee fans saw news and posts about his death for days, and even now it's still getting brought up. As others have pointed out, backlash is inevitable.

And that's not even factoring in that some people simply do not feel sympathy for drug abusers who overdose, which we've had threads here about a couple of times the last couple weeks.

You say people who don't care should just suck it up, but the same could be said of those who have mourned for him. If you're posting outside of Glee fandom places, it's stupid to expect others to care. The more posts people who don't care are inundated with, the more frustrated they will get and the more likely they will be to tell mourners to just shut the fuck up already.
