It's a little weird, but did you really expect a whole-ass airplane to just be scrapped when its owner dies? It's just a charter plane now and anyone with the means can source it.

Sure, it's just a plane at a reductionist level, except that living thinking people can associate that plane with who owned it and where it had been in ways that clearly persisted and that is entirely why it is being talked about now.

It's like scoffing at people that'd feel uncomfortable renting a house that was the site of a mass murder. Or maybe building some suburbs over the sites of atrocities/mass graves, which is kind of popular right now in some parts of the world right now. illegal-to-say

It's funny

The political blunder of it is funny, at least that would be what I hope you mean.

If you mean that people being upset about the choice of plane is funny because of some sense of superiority over them, I wouldn't be that surprised that you in particular might say that.

It seemed that you were previously trying to come across as a boilerplate "nothing offends you and other people's feelings don't matter" type, performatively and loudly not caring about anything... until of course someone happens to criticize the emotionally traumatizing working conditions that went into making a video game. That's real shit for you, isn't it?
