I don't get this current meme of shitting on 2016. Do people really think 2017 will even be an ounce better?

Newsflash: In 2017
- several celebrities will die
- wars will continue
- terror attacks will continue
- Trump won't just be an "elect" anymore
etc...

Stop blaming your shitty attitude on a single innocent year.

I agree with this.  Though I have enjoyed a few laughs at the memeing of 2016.

This is the first year I can recall though where a lot of people who I knew and remembered from things in my childhood were dying in such rapid succession.  I think for a lot of people in my age bracket it is something they are having a hard time coping with, thus the memeing.  Sadly though, from here forward it really only gets worse in that regard.

Glad someone finally said it, this is exactly what I think everytime I see someone say 2016 is shit or the worst year ever.

Not to mention that were several awesome things that happened in 2016 too. >_>

But hey, that Trump.

I have never seen a year with so much iconic people dying, so I totally understand the feeling against 2016.



Just read it. Knew she was in Intensive Care, but hoped for the best. So sad she didn't make it after-all. Goodbye Princess Leia.



Awful news. I was hoping she'd pull through. She really was a big part of what made "Star Wars" work in the first place, she brought a lot of humanity to the role. RIP. I'm not blaming the "year", but man, 2016 has felt depressing in a lot of ways.

The sad thing is these things happen in threes. First George Michael, now Carrie Fisher. I don't want to know which famous celebrity is next. RIP Carrie Fisher, may the force be with her family.

No Man Sky's disaster may never be topped.

On topic. T.T I loved her in all Star Wars films, Return of the Jedi specially.

Saddest of all the celebrity passings this year for me. How upsetting :(

My thoughts go out to Billie & Debbie too. Must be incredibly difficult to lose a mother/daughter, I can't even imagine.



Its sad, even for someone who did not grow up during the old films she is iconic.



2016 has been so savage when it comes to celebrity deaths.

I was really hoping she'd pull through, but apparently fate had other plans instead.



Out of all the celebs, she was one of the few that I really hoped, wouldn't pass on any time soon.


I don't know how they will manage writing her out of Episode 9, but it's not going to be the same without her.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
