Damn, this post left out some really crucial context. I assumed the comment was left in response to someone martyring themselves, probably after having killed others in the name of their sky fairy. And in that context I'd have backed them 100% in what they were saying about it.

But yeah, your reply there said it better than anyone could. The comment was completely out of place and inappropriate.

Ooh! What context can I add? Obviously I want to make this post as effective as possible and don’t want to mislead folks but I recognize I have proximity bias.

Thanks :)

I think they're talking about the context of it being a crowd crush.

Yeah 100% it's that.

I mean… it does say “Crush” in the original title. But not everyone knows what that means.

this was actually a surprise/something of a mandela effect to me too?! like i swear these were usually called stampedes, just like with animals, but apparently “crowd crush” is in fact the more common term 😅 the more you know 🌈

I used to work crowd control. For us a stampede is when people are moving forward and those that fall down are trampled over and can’t get back-up. A crowd crush is when the density of people is so tight that you either suffocate or get crushed. Both are incredibly grim spectacles.

oh! i didn’t even consider there might be a distinction 🫡 thanks for the correction
