  22 people killed cos a man “blew himself” good lord
context: Grande has continued to give back to the city since the May 2017 Manchester Arena attack in which 22 people were killed, and hundreds more injured, after a man blew himself outside the arena as fans were leaving her concert.
  
  Why couldn't the editor pick that up. I mean, Jesus. >
  
  Dollars to donuts.
  A Freudian slip. >
  
  A freudian slip is when you say one thing but you mean a mother. >
  
  Well, oedipus is complex. >
  
  I'm one cynical mother fucker, but goddamn some of yall are unreal.
  Grande has continued to give back to the city since the May 2017 Manchester Arena attack in which 22 people were killed, and hundreds more injured, after a man blew himself outside the arena as fans were leaving her concert. The singer honored victims with the "One Love Manchester" benefit concert following the tragedy, and was also named an honorary Manchester citizen that same year. >
  
  She organized One Love Manchester in under two weeks following the attack, and raised over £17 million from the concert which she donated to the victims’s families. She also uses her platform to spread a lot of mental health awareness after developing PTSD from the attack, which I think is a great thing for someone of her calibre to do. >
  
  Yeah this is definitely one of the best handled tragedy adjacent situations by her. 
  I say tragedy adjacent because it wasn't her fault or the production company's fault. That's something like this happened. It was a person who blew themselves up. Like would we blame the Boston Marathon organizers?
  And handled.l, I don't mean like manufactured or fake.. I mean like her team and herself are doing a good job of highlighting how somebody at her level "gets through" mental health issues, and just maybe some of her fans see that, "oh somebody with "everything" also gets depressed and has mental health issues" While also doing great things for the town. >
  
  Your first phrase suggests she has been involved in a lot of different tragedy adjacent situations, and this one is one she is dealing well with, but there are others she has dealt with even better. >
  
  I think they were saying that there are other incidents where bands are near to tragedies and don't do nearly as much, whereas Ariana has been consistently propping Manchester up since it happened, even though she had no obligation to go out of her way. >

  Travis Scott's Astroworld stampede would be a good example. >
  
  This was the initial one I was thinking of.  Then I remember a few where the stage collapsed. >
  
  I also believe she even tattooed “a 
  “bee” for the city of Manchester as it’s their “official” adopted symbol of being a hard working industrious city. I believe she’s fairly committed to helping them heal together. 🐝 >
  
  Good gesture from Ariana Grande here, glad to see. >
  
  For a person of her age to be able to be so selfless and jump right back into the “grinder” of that situation is amazing considering what she also experienced. I wasn’t even a huge fan until this and now when she sings No More Tears Left to Cry - it makes my heart ache for her. She’s never quite been the same and it’s horribly unfair to be collateral damage to these a&@&#* terrorists. >
  
  A wonderful young woman. She deserves all the love she gets. >
  
  She's great. People love to act like pop music is trash, but a lot of these people are doing great work. Taylor Swift, Carly Rae, and Olivia Rodrigo are very positive pop idols for teens. Being mad about pop music for the sake of being a contrarian asshole is like being mad at rainbows and candy.
  Kurt Vonnegut said it the best, but replace "literary critics" with "contrarians upset about pop music for no reason."
  
  As for literary criticism in general: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel or a play or a poem is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split. >
  
  I hope she has people in her corner.
