exactly like you get it, i'm not trying to rub salt into the wounds of those grieving fans as most of them are still teenagers and when you're young seeing someone who shaped your childhood die hits you more than it should have, i also felt that when a vocalist of a band i grew up on passed away when i was 18 but reactions of those feeling no sympathy towards an abuser are just as valid. i personally do not feel sad for him, only for people he left behind such as his child and for his ex-gf who are likely to be blamed for his death by cult-minded fans. early death does not absolve a person of acts they committed and to act like it does is a slap in the face to victims whose abusers happened to be likeable celebrities.
like you said, he deserved to get help as this was all preventable but it wasn't others responsibility to make him get that help. don't get me started on how absolutely hypocritical it is to claim that online bullying killed him and then go bully his victims. after all, liam the man who sang many teenagers' favourite song and liam the abuser were both the same person. people can be sad he's gone, but they have a valid reason not to. especially if they also happen to be abuse victims who feel traumatised seeing people glorify a man who inflicted the same thing they suffered on other women.
