@TheMiddleWay and I argued about the reasonableness of the scenario posed in the poll below in the thread here: "Why People Are Keeping Unvaccinated COVID Deaths Secret"
In case the questions and answers are too long and get cut off, here they are in full:
Would it be okay/fair/reasonable for the parents of kids who committed a school shooting massacre (and died in the process) to go onto a social media platform and solicit support and sympathy along with the parents of the victims?
No. Completely inappropriate. They'd cause even more harm doing this.
Yes. They lost a just like the other parents. Well, not just like, but they still deserve to seek sympathy and support in that online community without being reminded their kid did something wrong.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.@TheMiddleWay Apparently I don't have enough people that haven't blocked me to get a good sample size of brespondents for my polls... Or an interesting enough topic for the people that don't have me blocked to read and vote. There were at least 5 people here that weren't us and only two cast votes.

@TheMiddleWay I edited. Do you think that will help?
@TheMiddleWay Eh, there have been 8 beside us and still only two votes. I, and my poor suicidal cat, just don't have the juice to get poll numbers up.
By "solicit support" do you mean a gofundme, "thoughts and prayers" , or both? Or does it matter?

Any kind of support I suppose would be a similar argument. Don't know why it would be perfectly okay for the parents of the kid that murdered a bunch of other kids to seek emotional support from the murdered children's parents and the rest of the online community, but completely inappropriate to plug a gofundme if they couldn't afford the funeral services they'd need to "grieve properly". That said, I think we were talking about emotional support and sympathy.
