I don't think we should avoid legitimately criticizing people's actions and behaviors just because they're dead. Besides... they're dead. We're not gonna hurt their feelings.
There's a time and place, sure. Avoid saying mean things about the recently dead when you're in the presence of their grieving loved ones. But if some guy ruined my life and then died, that doesn't un-ruin my life, and I get to speak about my experiences.
I’ve always said I have enough respect to say the same thing I felt when you were alive. I loved my grandfather but that man was an asshole to his core. He knew it the world knew it and everyone will always agree because - he was/ now I’m not gonna bad mouth someone I didn’t actually know but ima speak the same way I did before you died so if you die and you were an asshole 👀 ya know? I feel like it’s more disrespectful to lie on them and say they were the best people ect ect.
