ironic that you use that picture, since at least darth vader has some remnant of positive emotion inside him rather than making light of events in which people fucking died
Write F in the chat to pay respect is mainly used jokingly in video games when a character dies.
If something sad happens, for example you die in the video game or you kill a chicken in Counter Strike, someone can say Write F in the chat to pay respect.
Sometimes it’s used more seriously, when a squadmate or partner dies in a game, but it’s also often used sarcastically or cynically, like when a hilarious epic fail happens on stream or someone’s favorite character gets nerfed in an update.
It’s a funny/joke way to ask for respect for an unfortunate situation.
EX. “I didn’t know that paper was due today so I’m getting a 0 on it. Can we get an F in the chat”
The F stands for Fail and is used as a sign of respect when somebody humbly fails at something. Often used as a joke, it’s literally a meme.
I know, I quoted various sources with the intent of showing that it’s used as a joke and not a serious thing people do in reaction to death. That part specifically was incorrect.
Was surprised because it was probably the first time I realised that these kinds of attacks can happen anywhere, France is about a 4 or 5 hour journey from where I am, shorter if going by plane.
I heard the news when I was middle school (7th grade). My 1st reaction to this were shocked and awed. It happened, on a Friday night. I imagine dudes in Paris are having a break after working a week. But then, they hear gunshots, screaming, blood spatters…
A week later (this is going to be weird), when my school’s sport team won a game against other school… everyone were cheering but me… something inside of me created a raincloud and then I started to cry, right front of everyone.
