Oh hey there you. Yeah, you with the face. You're cool. No, not you Greg. Everyone else though, definitely cool. <3

[amysolley]

Fun fact: Cemeteries are for the LIVING. NOT THE DEAD. They're meant to be places for the LIVING TO VISIT. That's the POINT.

[gagefraw]

Lesson of the day: Social Media is a dumpster fire.

[Lynsey]

The Gal Gadot thing is pretty funny considering Cleopatra is generally agreed to be Greek. So I guess an Egyptian or Arab actress is equally suited to the part as an Israeli one.

[Gravikaa]

Seeing Gal Gadot and Vanessa Hudgens in the thumbnail feels like being transported back to April

Up until roughly a hundred years ago cemeteries doubled as public parks. People would go on dates and picnic in cemeteries. Our society is almost completely out of touch with the cycle of life and death. There are many beautiful cemeteries and they should be used more often. To connect ourselves with those that came before and to humbly remind us that one day we will join our ancestors.

[ElNeekoo]

I’m not from the US but like, are you guys ok? Seems like your politics are a dumpster fire

[cwflad]

Cemetries are LITERALLY the first public parks. People used to picnic in them because they were so beautiful. It's perfectly acceptable to take pictures there and even ENJOY being there. Especially Sleepy Hollow.

[cold.raviolis]

Why is it so difficult to vote in the US, shouldn't that be made as accessible as possible? It sounds so complicated

[holocene]

I personally love cemeteries. They are peaceful. As long as somebody is not destroying/thrashing the place, I fail to see why visiting or taking pictures would be an issue. It seems to me that the people who criticized would have, in fact, criticized anything...

[AJArciniegas]

Feeling like it’s disrespectful to visit a cemetery is a very modern thought. People used to go with their families to picnic and such. There are so many beautiful older cemeteries around the world. It’s not like she’s sitting on nameplates of recent burials.

[feffin]

Why are people just now being offended about goths/emo kids enjoying cemeteries. I mean, if I was put into the ground I'd love visitors... just saying.

[frostypaws]

In regards to the Vanessa Hudgens cemetery thing: people saying what she did was disrespectful is trying to force their cultural ideas of death. My comment is ridiculous but man are these people using being offended to control other people.

[Johnny-cimw]

There are so many things to get angry over these days. Don’t waste your anger on a dumb photo shoot.

[strangerofthe]

I am SO UPSET that (insert name) had the nerve to (insert action) and he/she should face consequences for his/her actions including a FULL CANCELLATION. I will accept nothing less for his/her despicable and disgusting actions.



There ya go Karen. A simple template for you to rage, just copy and paste and insert name and actions.

[astarlitsail]

I'm shocked they didn't cast Cleopatra as a woman whose family tree is a straight line to truly represent the Ptolemy ancestry.

[JezebelIsHongry]

Cleopatra was Macedonian. The dynasty married brothers and sisters. Her family is descended from former Alexander the Great generals

[kaitlinomalley]

Vanessa Hudgens: gets shade for cemetery photo shoot.
Goths:

[daveyng]

Cleopatra wasn't ethnically Egyptian. Gal is fine. I still cringe at the imagine video but for this argument they don't have legs to stand on.

[moniquecash]

Regarding the cemetery: Everyone's allowed to feel how they feel towards it, but just cause you don't see it the same as her it doesn't make it wrong. She's not vandalizing or mutilating the space, she's appreciating it for what it is. Everything's perspective & everyone has their opinions.

Think about funerals. Some people throw celebrations in honor of the person who passed. If that's not how you mourn, it doesn't mean those people are wrong & it doesn't mean you're wrong.
