Outrage as Georgetown students reportedly plan Charlie Kirk ‘lookalike contest’ on assassination anniversary

Comments

1. Amir: Can you really stage a lookalike contest right next to the memorial for someone you claim to care about?
2. Iron Specter: it's hard to fathom how a lookalike contest isn't inherently tasteless, even as a critique.
3. Amir: i find it weird they'd try to make light of something so dark though
4. Velvet Rune: who comes up with these ideas and thinks it's funny
5. Elias: Kirk's people have been trolling Hoya students for years, time to bring the heat
6. Diegonilsson: what is wrong with these kids, celebrating death like it's a joke
7. Wraith Kite: what's wrong with kids these days making light of people dying?
8. Lucas: can we talk about how 'very Hoya' doesn't really seem to match the sentiment of a lookalike contest
9. Noelsuzuki: georgetown's sense of humor really needs to work on itself
10. Ravi: their attempt at edginess is embarrassing
11. Karimzoe: georgetown students have better things to do than mock a guy who got assassinated
12. Novakamir: i'm sure it's not even possible to guess what the actual student reaction would be, seeing as they're going for a lookalike contest. probably just some entitled kids trying
13. Isla: Georgetown's attempt to mock the dead is tone deaf, plain and simple
14. Mayae: can you tell me what's being said about the actual event vs just the reaction to it? How many students are behind this and what's their connection to Charlie Kirk's activism?
15. Diazdane: this is either a genuine misunderstanding or a misguided attempt at satire - either way it's a mess
16. Ranacleo: Kirk's a punching bag for libs, but come on, what's next? A lookalike contest is just insensitive and lazy
17. Selimc: this is either genuine outrage or a troll fest, can't tell
18. ☕️ Rayan: who thought this was a good idea would they do something like this about, say, Ilhan Omar?
19. Echo Vesper: you can't just hijack someone's legacy for a bad joke, Georgetown
20. Wraith Beacon: thought they were celebrating his life, not making a mockery of it
21. Meyerivy: That's just cheap and tasteless, whoever thought of this needs to reevaluate their priorities
22. Crimson Comet: what's the point of making fun of someone like that, especially on their actual anniversary? it feels tacky
23. Cipher Wolf: what kind of 'tribute' is this, honestly?
24. Mila: I have to think they're not actually joking about the contest itself, just how much it's being framed as some kind of joke
25. Adam: what is this supposed to accomplish or say about Kirk's legacy?
26. Rayancohenxo: this is gonna be a total embarrassment for georgetown if they actually go through with this
