John Green posted this on tumblr and it's an important thing to consider
Me, recently: Steven Gerrard is retiring from Liverpool Football Club. I am really sad.
Everyone else: I'm so sorry. I know how much Liverpool FC means to you and Gerrard's a really important member of the club and I'm sure you're devastated. I empathize with your feelings, and validate them, because sport communities become families of a kind, and I know the LFC community is a big part of your life.
1D fans today: Zayn is leaving One Direction. I am really sad.
Everyone else: What is wrong with you why are you so stupid it's just a boy band why do you care about such dumb meaningless things when you could care about stuff that really matters, like groups of adults attempting to kick a sphere into a net.
