I would agree if the subreddit was indiscriminately shitting on people who died of COVID. Instead, it singles out only the people who spent the last months of their lives denying the disease, downplaying it, spreading propaganda, disparaging masks and vaccines and dunking on people doing the right thing--basically singling out people doing everything they can to keep the pandemic going. Sure, it's Schadenfreude, but not hate.

I liken it to the so-called "Darwin Award": Yes it's dark, but it's not simply a way to goof in general on people dying.
