Thread is titled "Guns N' Roses legend Slash announces death of 'talented' stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight, 25, hours after cancelling four tour dates"

Confusion over quotation marks:

What sort of garbage-person puts positive comments in quotes on a death announcement? Why not add in parenthesis "yeah right", immediately after that to show your disdain more clearly daily-mail? What a tactless and disgraceful headline, from the daily-mail, about someone so recently passed.

Someone who is quoting another person? Would you react like this of they quoted "lovable" instead?

Why is "talented" quoted like that? Makes it seem disparaging lol

You know that quotation marks are intended to actually quote what someone said right?

Yeah, but they are also used as sarcasm. Which is definitely how it sounds, and I can't be the only one to think that. I mean it's obvious that it's not sarcastic, but im just making the point that the article is poorly titled.

Those hard quotes feel a bit in bad taste tho...

Nepotism

I make music, I know a lot of other musicians. Any musician with a successful famous musician parent is handed a golden ticket to do what they want. I know dozens of people who would have killed to have her name and lineage, and yet she had all that and killed herself.

If you knew anything about depression/mental illnesses you'd know how none of that shit matters in the slightest for suicidal people.

That's their point.

if it is, they did a terrible job making it because it doesn't come off like that at all.

This comment?

This will be the greatest redemption story on the internet when her OD/Suicide is revealed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Go Fund Me

Keep the speculation down…but remember for what it's worth. If she died of cancer there would already be a "go fund me" ready to cash in on this.

"Keep the speculation down…but remember for what it's worth" Then goes on to speculate... classy.

Wasn't trying to be classy..just pointing out the reality of the situation 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why would Slash need a go fund me? Is this a reference to something?

It's not his real daughter…she was probably broke and depressed like everyone else

lol most downmarseys on Reddit today :) you all downmarsey like a bunch of KITTIES !!!!! 🖕🖕

/r/music genuinely has to be the worst of the main/default subreddits. It is a place for fat, neckbeard millennials to circlejerk Tool, Eminem, and overplayed classic rock, and nothing else. Some of the lowest IQ comments and shittiest takes clog up every thread on there without a shred of self awareness
