I have nothing but empathy for Zelda Williams, but what I'm saying is that she shouldn't let these comments shake her.

Her father was and is beloved.

I have never said anything else.

Cool it, guys. Seriously.


How can you have empathy for someone and then question their reaction to something so vitriolic?

Posting a picture of a dead man resembling your father and telling her that it is her fault he killed himself is shockingly horrible and it is very easy to see why she reacted the way she did.

No, you made post that was shit. I will judge you for that. What the media has been syaing has nothing to do with Zelda at all, and even if someone does think R Williams was a wanker, insulting his daughter is a scum sucking thing to do. Hand waving it away as disagreement is almost as pathetic as the trolling itself.

Stop attributing things to me that I did not post.

I said nothing about Robin Williams. I loved the guy and feel terrible for his daughter.

I'm just saying she shouldn't let these people bother her, because these sort of people exist for every situation. There's nothing anyone can do about them.

Not to be contrary, but every channel has been memorializing this man since his death.

You can't please everyone, and these guys clearly aren't serious with their comments.

What? Sure you can't please everyone but perhaps some basic common decency? Some sympathy for someone who just lost their father?

These people were cruel.

The thought processes that must occur for these people to think these types of comments are even remotely ok to say is beyond alien to me. Regardless if they "mean" them or not. FUCK those people >_<

My heart continues to go out to Zelda and her family ;_;
 
But it's just fun and gaemz guyz! Y SO SERIOUS?!

Fuck every single one of those dudes. You have to be an empathy lacking, sociopathic, remedial asshole to do say some shit like that even for the "lulz"; and it speaks highly of personal issues. This goes for the people in here with their pointless devil's advocate stance. You're not edgy, you're clearly not smart, you're not deep. You're just an asshole. Seriously just quit the internet; if any of your family members were to pass (I hope not) and you post about it on GAF. I'll quote your post in this thread and take the ban.

Comments like this are always going to hurt someone in a situation like this. Even when the positive comments far outweigh them. She can't just ignore them, she is not some robot with no emotions.

How could she not be bothered by getting spammed with pics of fucking corpses after her father comitted suicide? Wtf are you trying to argue here?

I don't care what kind of intention you have when you make these comments. If you've said something like that, there's just no coming back from it. You can't make up for it. You're a worthless human being.

Seriously, this is so disastrously wrong, so depressing. How could you do this to someone who just lost their beloved father.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
Gives them more attention by posting in thread :/

Really mate, if we just don't talk about it they will stop? Come on.

Who said anything about stopping them? How are you gonna stop them? By impotently raging at them and giving them what they want? Truly a masterful plan, especially on Twitter where youll never get any action against them.

No, I mean that every event is bound to draw every sort of reaction, even from the scummiest people.

You know what guys, screw it. I'm sorry if you took me for defending these idiots, but you're clearly too hot about this issue to view anything I post with even a modicum of reasonable thought.

I did not say anything bad about Zelda or Robin Williams.

I did not defend these jerks.

I'm certainly not saying she should just "get over it", only that there are people like these always and it's best to ignore the garbage of the world.
