LISTEN.
THE.
FUCK.
UP.
I am not the biggest fan of Versailles. I've listened to their music a good few times, but Versailles are just a band to me. To be honest, I didn't really know who Jasmine You was before yesterday.
But saying that, I am so sorry for those around him, his friends, family, and his fans, for their loss.
It's a horrific thing when musicians die, as music is something that spreads throughout the world, it brings nations together, and helps and heals people through their troubling times, celebrates their good times, it's there for a pick me up, for a calming agent, to hype up, to settle.
Music, any way you look at it, is the most effect way of therapy ever.
And the musicians that take their talents and create that fantastic magic of music are seen in so many, many different ways. You could of never met them, but they feel close to you through the personal experiences you've shared with their music, and that is a sacred bond that only you can feel, even though the rest of the world shares the same feelings.
Music.
It's a personal thing.
No matter how publicly available music from all around the world, especially with the age of downloads, not one person will share every single experience you will do with music.
And we react to music so differently.
As do we do, when these musicians, who grace our lives with extraordinary talents and personalities, sadly leave our world.
Some may shrug it off, some may pay silent respect, some may cry for days on end, and in the most extreme cases, people do find taking their own lives the easiest way to deal with loss.
Now, since the loss of Michael Jackson, whom I was a massive fan of, I have reached my hand out to seven people who were willing to take their lives. These people are all different, but share one amazing thing in common - Michael Jackson.
Two girls I was helping have killed themselves, joining the 60+ confirmed suicides because of Michael's death.
This is a difficult thing for me to have to deal with. As it is to those peoples families and friends, of whom, i'm sure are devastated about the loss of their daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins, aunts...
I find it a very, very personal thing when people think it's funny to make jokes about fans harming themselves and taking their lives once their idols die.
And I've had the unfortunate job of having to see these jokes made on my friendlist several times. My gut tells me to tie severs with people who find this amusing, but I won't do so, as a few of these friends are personal friends of mine, outside of LJ.
But you know what?
YOU MAKE ME FUCKING SICK.
You have no fucking clue how hard it is to hear death tolls because of a musicians death hurts.
You are insensitive cunts who aren't funny.
You amuse no one, and although I don't wish harm on any person in the world, I hope to god you find yourself in a position where you need to help another human being recover from their suicidal thoughts and behaviours just so you know what it feels like to have to deal with these things.
Maybe then you'll grow up, and realise that you're not funny for making death jokes.
Maybe then, you'll realise that your insensitivity causes grief and harm to those around you.
Maybe then, you might actually realise that the world is beyond the internet, beyond stupid little people who have no lives, who find every little thing harmful to another human funny, who you seem to want to impress with your shocking statements and sick, twisted humour.
I'm not looking for a fight.
I just wish you'd start learning that another person's feelings can be on the line.
Or maybe I was just the only person of my generation to be brought up to love other people, and to respect other's wishes and concerns.
Or, hell. Maybe i'm just a Michael Jackson fan attempting to Heal The World in order to sort out scum.
