Orlando Killings: MOGII and Sexualization/Money/Selfishness
If you live in US or have seen international news, you have likely heard of 50 people killed in Orlando. Many people have been talking about it from an emotional perspective, but I do not have strong emotional connections for either LGBT[QIA+] people (Although I do strongly support their case, may belong in it, and have a bisexual friend, I have never made gender or sexuality central to my perception of people and therefore still need to find my emotions.) or Christina Grimmie. Prior to her passing, I had only heard of her through "What a Girl Is" from Liv and Maddie; however, realizing her impact on others makes her story stand out a bit.
Perception: One person's life is a story; if there are more than ten people's lives, it is no longer relatable but still mournable; greater than 1000 and it is a statistic.
It was interesting because I was just swiping towards my subscriptions/history when in trending section I saw "Christina Grimmie Killed..." but it cut off, so I assumed that it meant she killed it, meaning she was so awesome they made popular video; however, description said that someone spoke of "late singer" and to evade starting day with sadness, I blew it off as a prank. Then I was working on Vengeance adaptation for English Summer CD when I wondered, "What happened to her?" and looked it up to find that it was not a prank after all. Then a few hours later, we learned of Orlando killings and that their killer, Omar Mateen, said he did it for " 'Islamic' State", which is in itself ridiculous. These "Islamic" terrorists are fakers; they think they understand and represent their religion and its constituents, but killing is definitely not part of Islamic ideology (or any true religion at all). For a religion whose name means "peace" (or something like that), you false representatives slander a name that was supposed to have neutral connotations, like most religions that elicit no response except acknowledgement in its validity. Representatives are often lies in general, to which I will return.
Christina Grimmie was killed by Kevin Loibl, a stranger who was infatuated with her and thought he had right to her love, which is really ridiculous. However, instead of talking about this effect on me (because that explanation is repetitive and dull), I analyze evolutionary aspect to male lust and supposed "right" to women and people's desire for celebrities here: [link coming hopefully soon]
What reasoning is behind some people's insistent/passionate claims that LGBT+ people are molesters/pedophiles/etc? This is ridiculous --- while there are probably some molesters in this community, there are also molesters in straight/cis/"norm" groups
Somewhat relevant: Triggered jokes are inconsiderate and undermine real traumatic experiences. I think some of Urban Dictionary's definitions for trigger are actually informative and not too entertaining (which is beneficial in this case):
My problem with "triggered" jokes is this entire thing is completely inaccurate description of being triggered, which is different for everyone and can cause relapses in habits or addictions, so to speak.
When people write "Im so tr-gg-rd lolz", aside from making them look unintelligent (especially when students posted these comments and "educational" docs on my project info post; when I deleted it, they moved to similar post written by "dork dairies".) and inconsiderate...
I personally think they sound like they are mimicking some really weird sexual experience(s).
Seriously, what happened to this organism here? [double meaning]
Going back, we all (or most) agree that killing is morally wrong... but why? Morality is defined by humans and society, so what is that definition? We generally seem to think actions are morally wrong when they hurt someone's quality of life (crimes most often described with extremely negative adjectives as well as some in next category) or stability of bonds (all kinds of lies or withholding of information). Note that both of these sets overlap and can switch with each other; e.g, lying to police does both, but restricts potential quality of life more than bonds. However, stability of bonds often contribute to life quality. If you have any input/opinions as to what our apparent definition of morality, put it in comments.
Restrictions on guns are key to gun control; what is most important is ensuring background checks are always done because otherwise they serve little purpose. I do strongly believe that assault rifles (made to kill people) should not be legal for civilians and should mainly be used by officials in emergency situations. Banning guns makes sense in theory, but that creates black market and increases demand, similar to how it is with alcohol --- both have massive deleterious effects on society but are also used in safe circumstances.
Key research tip (I was told this and it seems legitimate): Look at who gets most money (gun sellers), rather than those impacted. Everything is about money in our society. No one really cares about you, at least not in professional world. Maybe these things get to them and they cry at home, but this all disappears when they enter professional realm. Then, they put on their impersonal impression and forget everything until they return and their emotions will never show. We will almost never see companies or their representatives care. Each person's reaction is different and representatives are often liars. Even their title lies by saying they represent us; no one can represent anyone else; you have very little to base off your understanding besides their opinion in one time frame before they go and change even more drastically than anyone observed when submitting our opinions. When they say something tragic happened, they say "WE" need to make our country better. Maybe your governmental or incorporated "WE"s need to fix, but "WE", your sometime supporters, do not all hold blame. That said, do vote for what you actually want and expect to have best outcomes. We need to stop being selfish and greedy for money/sex/winning/etc and start making a change; this is one way.

1.) *popular and well known definition* triggered is when someone gets offended or gets their feelings hurt, often used in memes to describe feminists or people with strong victimization. (use of this word through social media is generally ableist.)
2.) *actual definition of triggered* trigger is something that sets off a memory tape or flashback transporting person back to event of her/his original trauma.
trauma in form of flashbacks or overwhelming feelings of sadness, anxiety, or panic. Brain forms a connection between trigger and feelings with which it is associated, and some triggers are quite innocuous. For example, person who smelled incense while being raped might have panic attack when he or she smells incense in store. Triggers are very personal, and generally people with severe PTSD or/and anxiety can be triggered by everyday things.
1.) lol this 'feminazi' is sooo triggered cus I told her to make me a sandwich!! Lol😂😂
2.) *man who fought in the Iraq war comes back on 4th of July*
"Glad to be home."
*fireworks goes off and the man suddenly has a panic attack, cannot breath and is suffocating on the floor*
*in the hospital*
"Sir, it is apparent that due to very traumatic events you experienced in the war, you have severe PTSD. And we believed that fireworks triggered you to have a panic attack. I'm sorry sir."
