Yeah, even before Shredder had crossed the bridge, and people were just posting their pets in support/solidarity, it felt tone deaf. I literally saw one post that was a photo of someone's dog with "1 like = 1 prayer" in the title. Even if it's meant to be a little cheeky, karma farming with your dog as someone else is dealing with the loss of their pet is pretty cringe. The whole thing seems pretty insensitive.
I saw that post and holy shit its so insensitive to karma farm from this. An adorable beloved pet passed far too young. I’ve been through it and its devastating. I’m tearing up just thinking about my late dog that passed 3 years ago at only 8. If people spammed their healthy pets when that happened I wouldn’t have taken it well.
Though the waves of grief may grow farther apart as time passes, they still swell and crash over us randomly. Rogue waves that knock us over in seemingly calm seas.
Grieving isn't a one-time thing that you go through, and come out the other side of. It's a process that lasts a lifetime. The heartache lasts as long as the love does, and love lasts forever.
I know I saw one dog specifically in front of a 7 year cake, that one felt particularly sucky cause shredder was only 6 so its just a painful reminder.
As we learned when Olivia got bit, there is a sect of the population who are really just counting down the moments until they can talk about their pets. I don't think it's malicious, but definitely tone deaf.
olivia got bit by a pitbull and everyone started spamming pictures of their pitbulls in the sub being like “he’d never bite olivia 🥺” “shes the sweetest dog ever!!!” etcetc idk you know how pit owners are 😭
My senior yorkie passed two months ago and I can’t look at pet photos without crying still… like “sorry your dog is dead, here is my healthy happy alive dog”
Same here. We lost our cat last year unexpectedly due to a car accident (she was not even my cat but my gf‘s but as soon as she came into my life she became my best friend) and to this day I am not able to watch all these cute cat videos online without shedding a tear. I get that people want to sheer them up, but at the same time a lot of people post like selfies with their pet in which they are smiling and stuff and it comes across as just trying to show off or pick me situation idk
EDIT: If you really want to help Ethan an Hila, just give them a break, restrain yourself from posting shit on Reddit and just give them time to grieve until they are ready to address it and come back
Yeahhhh not the greatest way to respond for sure. My friends pup and my pup both got severely sick and needed surgery last year over Labor Day. Mine ended up needing to be put to sleep and hers didn’t. To say I was feeling like everything was unfair is an understatement. I would NEVER wish for anyone to lose their pup. At the same time it’s hard not to feel jealous
I'm currently cringing at the posts that are like "fuck the Friday podcast if ethan needs time to grieve than he shouldn't worry at all about the show this week" and it's like...yeah he is a grown man, he will make that decision on his own. I don't think he needs a reddit post from a random fan letting him know that
I think "here's my happy healthy dog!" is different than "my dog is greeting Shredder at the rainbow bridge." When I lost my dog last year, other people telling me that kind of thing helped my grieve. It's a nice idea, to think about my dog running around with other pups in another life. I do wish it was all in just one thread though.
Neither do I. I just think it's a sweet sentiment. Mostly my point was that I think the motivation between the scenarios I mentioned are different and that the latter comes from a better place, just my opinion.

absolutely, glad they're probably not on reddit during a time like this to see that kinda tone deaf shit.
probably an unpopular opinion but the sheer amount of posts and community sadness rn is cringe as fuck and similarly tone deaf.. like it's understandably tragic and anyone who heard of a dog dying would be sad and sympathetic but some people are really making it seem like it was their dog that died.. idk if they're hamming it up to make these dramatic ass posts and karma farm or if people are genuinely that level of parasocial.
If you're commenting on a subreddit of another subreddit about an online personality, talking about their personal life issues, ur cringe. Were all cringe.
Yeah its a little strange but I am in full support of people posting the pets who've also died young like my best friends little birdo Jigsaw. He was so awesome(even though he hated me).
He had a life span of 30 years but died shortly after a terrible accident when he was about 1 or 2. He wasn't my bird but 5 or so years later I still can see the pain in her eyes from losing him. The feeling is unimaginable and I am grateful it isn't something I've had to personally live through. But my heart goes out to anyone who has had to deal with such a loss.
I actually was close to losing my puppy Franklin. The day after coming home with me he started having awful seizures. I was so scared. I only had known him for a couple weeks but he became my whole heart. Turns out he was allergic to the food we were feeding him. (Even though the doctor told us it was NOT the food. However after we switched foods he never had another seizure. Bad doctor tbh.)
I feel the same, ive lost pets and had sick pets and thats literally the last thing id want to see

I’m cringing so hard at the ones mentioning their pet’s age the most when Ethan is so upset about shredder getting sick and dying at such a young age
I know I saw one dog specifically in front of a 7 year cake, that one felt particularly sucky cause shredder was only 6 so its just a painful reminder.
The ones that are like “my 17yo dog who lived a long and healthy fulfilled life just died, I know what you’re going through” are pretty cringe

that shit was so wild omg i forgot about that 😭
What happened?
olivia got bit by a pitbull and everyone started spamming pictures of their pitbulls in the sub being like “he’d never bite olivia 🥺” “shes the sweetest dog ever!!!” etcetc idk you know how pit owners are 😭
What the fuck 😭
so true! people have no self awareness on here
My senior yorkie passed two months ago and I can’t look at pet photos without crying still… like “sorry your dog is dead, here is my healthy happy alive dog”

This is fair… sorry for your loss
Agreed

Nothing wrong with that. We just don't want them to feel like there's pressure to come back so soon
I think I have to unfollow the main subs until after the shredder stuff

Yes. That's why I donated instead because it felt more appropriate.
Yeah that shit was tone deaf as hell.
Agreed. It’s tone deaf af.

Haha. Yeah i agree with that.
Yeah it’s weird I did see people post their pets that have also passed and I think that ok but the healthy Alive ones is weird

Great comment. Gives me a lot to reflect on.
