You sound depressed and cynical. As if I cannot respect a person I didn't know before after I learned what he has accomplished.

You must be really young if you think my respect for a person is not real if I have not posted about it online. That's simply ridiculous.

Be careful you don’t cut yourself on all that edge.

Also fascinating that you seem to think the only people who can be sad about the death of one of the most influential mangaka are those who posted about him constantly. I’m curious; how often does one need to post about him? Daily? Weekly? Or is just one post a month sufficient?

It is a normal human response to feel sad to learn that the author of something that you enjoy has passed away

I'm so happy I never became someone like you

We're gatekeeping feeling sad that someone died now? People feel sad that the creator of one of their favorite shows died and are expressing that online, no need to bully them over it.

Not mentioning someone in their profiles doesn't prove anything. I don't mention any of my family, does that mean I won't care when they pass?

How do you expect them to support the creator? Fly to Japan, shake his hand and give him 50 bucks? If they watch the show and share their enjoyment of it with others - they are supporting the creator.

Why are you here? What is this for?

You're also not going to find many people talking about friends or family in that way before they die. Whether it is because a person takes their relationships for granted. Keep their private feelings, private. Or shows their love and appreciation in less public ways. There are many reasons you won't often see what you're saying is required to actually care for a person. Because it's not a common way of showing care. Looking for and appreciating the (small) actions people do for those they care about is a much better way to see things. Viewing life and death through such a depressing cynical lens is pitiable. I hope you can one day find a less depressing and shitty view of things.

I say that with full understanding that there are people like you say getting some perverse glee about someone's death to boost their socials off of but that is a tiny minority are closer to your view of society than the actual general person.

Please return to reddit. You could harm someone with all that edge here.

I'm not like the other fans copypasta has arrived!

Lemmy users trying not to post edgy bullshit in every thread challenge (impossible)

Man Lemmy is exhausting. Not gonna lie, idk what people are talking about when they say reddit is worse

You can even prove yourself I’m right: ... you’ll not find one single mention of this guy

You know, Lemmy comment history doesn't really represent 100% thoughts of someone

So?

I just wanna say I feel bad you got piled on, it seems you are processing your feelings about this in your own way. Like that anime character who acts all tough (and seems inhumane) when something bad happens, but they’re not a bad person..

I think some commenters are right that someone’s comment history on Lemmy doesn’t 100% reflect everything they’re about

Do you realize how influential his work was? Like JRPGs? Congratulations his artwork was the foundation for Blue Dragon, Chrono Trigger, and the Dragon Quest franchise.

Like Sonic The Hedgehog? Congratulations, Toryiama's work inspired many of the tropes used in it
