9/15/25 | Charlie Kirk is Dead

Yeah I know this news rang out days ago, but it took me a lot of time to collect my thoughts.

So Charlie Kirk is dead. I found out after waking up from a nap and seeing Discord notifications of my irl friends announcing it. I was shocked. I checked the news and they weren't kidding! Charlie Kirk was dead! (Also what's with 2025 and this weird pattern of me waking up to celebrity deaths? It happened with Pope Francis, Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and now Charlie Kirk.)

His death was a tragic irony. Unfortunately I've seen videos of his death from multiple angles, and it's very gruesome. He wears a plain white shirt with the word "FREEDOM" printed on it. At one moment he's debating with a student about mass shootings and gun violence (oddly enough). At first he taunts trans people, and then he makes the anti-Black statement: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" Not even a second later, suddenly he gets shot in the neck and becomes a limp, lifeless body. So much blood POURED out of his wound since the bullet hit a major artery. I can't even imagine being a witness at the event, ESPECIALLY the guy who was debating him at the moment.

I'm gonna be completely honest and say that as a minority (especially as a Black person), I did not feel an ounce of sympathy for that man. I've seen his debates. He was a hatemongering fascist who ONLY spoke about not wanting certain groups of people to exist or have rights. Not to mention he said the word "empathy" does a lot of damage. So why should I feel empathy OR sympathy for him?

The reactions from all political sides have left me disappointed. The right, as usual, mourned him and said that we shouldn't fight over "politics" or "differences of opinion". A lot of right-wing Christians also believed that he was only spreading the gospel and that he was a man of God. Some Republicans have even tried to incite violent retaliations to this. And the left, I've seen pretty mixed reactions, but the general stance is that violence is never the answer and gun violence should be condemned. Some Democrats have generally spoken out and condemned his death. I've also seen people from both sides bring up that he has a family, including a wife and kids. Some big liberal influences I followed (and even two women who debated Kirk on Jubilee) held these same left-wing/centrist sentiments.

So... I have thoughts. Obviously I'm all for gun control and I don't think anyone deserves to die from gun violence. But I don't feel sorry fo the guy. His kids and witnesses? Yeah. But not him. He has been nothing BUT hateful his whole career. I've had bigots try to start arguments with me and invalidate my feelings about the situation. I cut off many horrible people over this. It's not "just an opinion" when those beliefs lead to prejudice and the deaths of innocent marginalized people. "You can disagree and still be friends" applies to things like pizza toppings or your favorite movie, NOT whether you think certain people should have rights or not. I think it's also disrespectful that right-wingers compare him to Martin Luther King Jr. and pair him up with Jesus. Kirk LITERALLY called the Civil Rights Act a mistake, and despite him being a Christian, EVERYTHING he stood for goes against Christianity. (Y'know what they say: "No hate like Christian love".)

This also showed me that the left isn't really ready for a revolution. People on the left often talk about standing up against oppression, but now it's starting to feel very performative. Just a couple weeks before, people made jokes about Trump getting sick and dying because of his sudden disappearance. But when Charlie Kirk dies, now they're suddenly trying to have the moral high ground? I get feeling bad for his family members and the circumstances surrounding his death, but huh??? I can see where those liberal influences are coming from, and I understand their perspective. But throughout history, change has been accomplished through violence and armed resistance. As sad as it is, we can't just expect everything to change from just peace alone.

Also it got revealed that the shooter was a white, cishet man from a Republican, Mormon family. His motive was that Kirk wasn't "far-right enough" for him. People on the right SO BADLY wanted to pin it on some minority (even the governor of Utah admits it). They won't admit that one of their own did it. They're even going so far as to attempt to SOMEHOW put the blame on trans people because that's their favorite group to scapegoat at the moment. "The shooter might be trans." "The bullet has transgender ideology." "Tyler's roommate is trans." "Tyler's Spotify has trans music." Trans this. Trans that. "How can I make this about trans people???"

Also the bullet that went through Kirk's neck had a dated furry meme from 2018 engraved on it. "*notices bulge* OwO, what's this?" Never thought I'd see that in 2025.

On the topic of funny memes, some old Halloween pictures of Tyler surfaced recently. Some pictures show him wearing a Trump costume. In another picture, he's in a friend group. One of those kids is dressed up as none other than SANS UNDERTALE. First the Queen, now this. How do these celebrity deaths keep linking back to Sans and Undertale?

Another thing I'd like to bring up is that on September 8th, just TWO DAYS before he died, Jezebel released an article saying that they paid Etsy witches to curse Charlie Kirk. (I think the blood moon eclipse happened that night too? The timing.) I fear their magic might be too powerful because that shit WORKED. Not in the way they wanted, of course. They just wanted to mildly inconvenience him, not literally KILL HIM. I hope whichever Etsy witches Jezebel paid aren't too panicked or anything. But at the same time, who and where are they? I want whatever magic they have. :3

also i started making more of those cursed, never-will-see-the-light-of-day doodles the SAME day Jezebel released that article. at this point they're an omen.

Based on all the reactions to Charlie Kirk, I can guess how the right will react when it happens, but I'm worried about what the left's reaction will be.

Anyway, those are my thoughts about Charlie Kirk's death. It's been a crazy week. A real pain in the neck. :)
