A recent post about two influencers who tragically drowned after refusing life jackets to keep their selfies intact has sparked mixed reactions online. Among the responses, one particularly insensitive comment simply stated, “Very nice 👍,” dismissing the tragedy with a cold, mocking tone.
Comments like these highlight a troubling trend of desensitization on social media, where empathy is often replaced by callousness. In times of loss, it’s essential to respond with compassion and understanding rather than mockery. Social platforms should serve as spaces of support and empathy, especially when real lives are impacted, reminding us to treat such moments with the respect they deserve.
