But you're still basically saying we're overreacting to the brutal rape, torture and murder of a human being. What else could be worse than prolonged, intentional human suffering from another human? We're not going to be nonchalant about it. A shocked, horrified and disgusted reaction is perfectly normal in this type of situation.
Oh I know so, it is just these little things like lack of awareness on it has happened in the past and at a much worse scale. I can understand something as horrific as this has actually happened in a somewhat sane and modern society. But it is just that for me. The reason this doesn't phase me out is because it hardly happens in the UK and thus, it is a one-time thing.

The thing is, people learn most from their mistake, from their regrets.
I am not like most people. I am a unique individual. If this is my way of learning my mistake, then it is my way. You have your own ways.
These things bring about remorse, sadness, etc. etc. By throwing these out, I find it hard to believe you learn anything.
Uh, I believe I have learnt something and that is it is an unfortunate event and you can try to prevent it. I know so, I can do it. But I can 'laugh about it' because I have learned something.
People don't want to feel negative emotions so they learn to avoid these things by adapting and preventing past regrets/mistakes, if you just laugh at your mistake and brush them off as jokes then you're not learning anything.
That is your opinion. As I said, I hang around with friends. I even said to the whole class when someone mentioned a black guy raping and killing a young girl that I said "So a normal day in Africa then?".
Sure, it may not be to you something to not joke about. But for me, I can joke about it because I have an idea of how much horrific and saddening it may be. But her life is lost and there's no sense of brooding about it, so I joke.
If my mother died and I went through my mourning phase, I would joke about her. Same with everyone. It's how I do things. Heck, I still joke about my Grandfather's death. You might think it's sick, but I think it is my way of doing things. Life is one big joke and I treat it as one. I am here to try and have fun.
Oh so the reason you joked about this is because you understand the situation completely? Thereby that gives you the right to joke about it.
Pretty much. Heck, my sister was grabbed by some 15 year old asian lad and soon after I learnt how remorseful I am with her, I said to her "Did he ask you for some sweeties?" in a paedophile accent. In this case, I have been remorseful to the lass in the news and even had a debate with my mother on it.
My way is to be completely serious, then joke about it after.
You may be able to simply joke about it but what if it happened to someone you knew? When you tossed out the feelings of sadness are you sure you kept a grip on your sympathy Chrono Mizaki?
-hint- my sister was grabbed by a pervert and after I've been remorseful to her, I joked about the 'sweeties'.
So yes, fuck you all if you think "Chrono Mizaki, you are a sick bastard"
