[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;45145474]You obviously haven't seen fucked up on FP then.
I could flashback 5 years ago, look at a news post in FP about someone dying and see the very first post be "did she drop any good loot", and that phrase actually became an autoban sentence from its popularity.
I'm 100% sure we can all see this is a horrible thing, but that fact that her entire death is attributed to taking a selfie at a horrible time is probably why it's getting this reaction.
And regarding ratings, whatever majority of ratings that are clicked in the beginning of a threads creation usually end up being the main rating for the thread. You could post this same thread and have a different set of FPers see it first and it could be rated/reacted to completely different.[/QUOTE]
Fucked up on FP was the Sonic drowning music being posted as a reply to an SH thread concerning a kid who received a Sonic-themed funeral after drowning.

Oh my fucking god that post made me spew water all of my screen when I saw it. It's even in his title now

As fucked up as it was i still find that hilarious.

But yeah, I don't see how this is funny at all. Sure, it's her fault that she died, but it doesn't make it any less tragic.
I'd like to see the selfie.
-bad post awful taste in jokes-
Snipping doesn't make it better but I just can't get over the fact that she risked her life over a god damned selfie.
[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;45145780]At least she wasn't raped.
[sp]Sorry about it, terrible joke.[/sp][/QUOTE]
no. That got too old of late and is really tasteless given the context of the thread.

I think it was the fastest I've seen a FP joke be run into the ground
[QUOTE=lapsus_;45145280]Objection! In the video-
"Questa mattina una ragazza di diciassette anni nata a Bari [...]"
"Earlier this morning a seventeen year old girl born in Bari [...]"
I based my correction on that[/QUOTE]
That's less bad reading and more bad listening.
[QUOTE=katbug;45145097]What's wrong with that?[/QUOTE]
Darwinism or not, it's fucked up beyond any measure of sanity to openly laugh, mock and say that a teenager had it coming after she died a painful, horrible death while trying to do something fairly normal for a bit of fun
Like holy shit I'm not expecting you to openly weep or go to their funeral but something other than "lol darwin get it" might just be a bit less sociopathic and downright disrespectful

Did you mean to reply to the first post in this thread? he said "What's wrong with that?" in reply to "This isnt probably the place to talk but she's 16?!?"
Where has someone said "lol darwin get it" in this thread
All the first post said was "call me callous but this is just darwinism at work"
We are onlookers looking into a situation that is bigger than us, because this person died. And all we know is what information the article provides. Are you surprised people can have distasteful opinions on a forum where we aren't mandated to post in a certain way?

Does no one have any sympathy anymore? Someone just [I]died[/I] and their are 11 funny ratings. Really?[/QUOTE]
I lost count of how many posts are made up of the same "condolences to the family" "bla bla bla such a tragedy" when something like this pops up, it just feels like they lost their value.
And she was an idiot. How dumb does someone have to be to take pictures in such a dangerous place?
Good, we don't need someone that stupid to be alive.

except we aren't doctors delivering the news first hand to her parents
we are a bunch of people in a forum, who could pretty much copy paste the posts made in another thread with a similar death.
could this be the first ever incident of death by selfie?

Yeah, what kind of world is this where someone can't stand perilously close to the edge of a cliff without any safety gear while also not paying attention to what they're doing?

Dude, I was totally expecting someone to spout out "DARWINISM" (Whether as a genuine opinion or a joke to try to piss some people off. It doesn't matter.) in this kind of thread and forum, but that doesn't automatically mean that some of us aren't allowed to think that that mindset is at the very least a little fucked up.

Makes sense, I see your point
Can someone explain what's wrong with selfies with a legit reason? if it was "Girl died trying to take a picture of the sea" people would think that sucks and is tragic yet because it's "Girl died trying to take a picture of herself in front of the sea (which is what a selfie just is, a picture of you in front of whatever you want to take a picture of) it's funny?"
Like I don't care if you think its funny if she fell to her death that's whatever but what the fuck is with the hate for selfies like how the fuck is someone a retard because they took a selfie? Like what's the difference if someone else took the picture of her standing in front of the sea? there isn't a difference besides her taking it her self like seriously it's fucking weird the hate on the internet for selfies. Cause last time I checked no one hates selfies in the real world for no reason.

I think the key word is "self", in this case their being self-absorbed enough that they feel the need to constantly take pictures of themselves in a bid to garner attention with minimal effort.

It's no more attention-garnering than having someone else take a photo of you by the object, something which isn't anywhere near as ridiculed.

Exactly! so the point is it's hated because of the name? and how is it getting attention with minimal effort? if someone takes a photo of me on vacation that's fine but if I take the photo of myself with me on vacation that's me trying to get attention and being self-absorbed?? what?

It depends entirely on how much they do it. That and people tend to take selfies in absolutely stupid places, such as while driving, in the bathroom, etc. They're basically advertising to the world "LOOK LOOK I'M DOING/JUST DID X!" when really nobody cares where you ate or where you dropped a deuce.

You have no doubt at some time in your life done something just as stupid and dangerous. Shut up

Be that as it may, this particular girl was taking a selfie at the beach during a school trip. That's hardly as ridiculous as "look guys, I'm making a sandwich!".

What's the point in taking a selfie though?
I saw a video of some guy who slid down a railing at a football stadium, he fell off the railing and landed on top of a fan sitting in the seats about 30 feet below.
One guy died at a baseball stadium when he stretched over the railing to catch a ball and fell.
Even though a selfie wasn't involved it's the same issue- people deliberately circumventing safety devices to do something and then they fall. Selfie or not, if this girl had stayed behind the railing she'd be alive now.
