This screenshot is lies. Amazing how often people get away with that on this board. I mean, someone catches them, but by that time multiple people have already absorbed it as fact and moved on. The post usually stays up, and the correction rarely becomes the top comment.
Also, maybe anyone salivating at any regular person's death is goulish and divisive and only pleases those who prefer us divided over petty culture war issues
I couldn't agree more.
You’re partly correct, but the post isn’t as bad as you make it sound. The guy who died might not have written that particular anti-antivaxx article, but he worked for the same paper and he was also pro-vaxx.
The vaxx and the vaxxers’ desire for the death of antivaxxers are not petty issues.
"You are partly correct, but the post isn't that bad! It's only that the main claim is one hundred percent wrong! It's just a straight up fabrication! But you? You are only partly correct. This post saying that a dead person wrote an article they didn't, resulting in people cheering someone else's death isn't that bad. I am rational!"
The main claim of the post is:
That’s all true. To be true, these statements don’t require the dead reporter to be the same one who encouraged death-mocking. It could’ve been any reporter for the LA Times to die for the above statements to be true.
The lower part of the post says:
These statements are also technically true. The LA Times really did have a column about mocking deaths. Gregory Yee really did die. The thing that makes it misleading, possibly intentionally so, is the juxtaposition of the two statements to make it seem like Gregory Yee was the one who personally wrote the death-mocking column. Since he wasn’t, it seems unsavory to us, so you’re partly correct. But you’re only partly correct because the statements in the post aren’t 100% wrong and total fabrications like you just claimed. And again, you’re not correct that the vaxx and the mistreatment of cleanbloods are just “petty culture war issues”.
