You're making fun of dead people too. Ever made a joke about the Titanic? Or some war related joke? Or AIDS? COVID?
Are these lives somehow less important, because they died decades ago? Or because they were anonymous?
The reality is, that each day thousands of people die. And we don't care. And that's okay to a certain degree. Why are these randos above being joked about?
I think you have a great point. Maybe we aren't so aware of thing we say these days.
