Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?

When Akira Toriyama died I had to take some time off in the middle of work and go to the bathroom to cry. I think the reasons are obvious if you know who the man was. Here in Latin America Dragon Ball is almost a religion, you see the Z warriors wherever you look. Akira's pen drew the childhood of millions around the world for several generations, it is difficult to find someone here who has not been marked by his work. Even now my heart still crumples a little at the memory of him.
May you rest in peace, Master. As long as your memory lives on, you will remain immortal.

Technoblade.
I’d watched him with my kids for years. He’s an amazing player and a really smart guy. I got my kid a leather bound copy of “The Art of War” because of the Potato Wars. Our shared love of video games, especially Minecraft, kept me involved with them during a pretty bad divorce.
So when they came to me, tears in their eyes, I wept as well. Because he was a connection to my children. And I wept for Technodad, as any other father would.
Congrats on 20 mill, Techno. May you never die.

No. I didn't know them and have had too many friends and family members die to care that much about a celebrity.

Kentarou Miura. Berserk is my favorite manga, I discovered it while going through a really tough time, and it helped me a lot. I read it a couple times over and over, and I impatiently waited for new chapters.
A couple years later, Miura-sensei died of heart issues, aged 54. Felt like a slap on the face, after all those jokes about how he was never going to finish Berserk because he was playing too much idol master. I still cry about it from time to time, when I have a bad day.
Rest in peace.

Robin Williams, I legit cried for a day and couldn't think or hear his name for a long time without getting upset again.
Still sad that he's gone.
It's still hard for me to watch movies he's in. Just reminds me he's no longer around.

I don’t even like his music all that much, but Avicii. Learning of the circumstances- he knew his mental health was not in a place where he could tour. He told his managers. They said “lol, sorry, tix are sold, no backing out now.” He died on the tour.
His music is so hopeful and encouraging and beautiful, it breaks my heart when any of his songs come on.

But if it has to be someone, I'd probably pay respects to Carl Sagan when he died if I was alive then.

You see a lot of "Z warriors" in Russia too, but much less Dragon Ball sadly

I've been able to watch his stand up bits and some interviews, but yeah still can't watch his movies yet. One day soon I'll go on a Robin Williams marathon.

No never but I know when Jackie Chan passes away I'm going to be really hurt.
Man was my hero growing up with his movies and doing his own stunts.

Yes, hardcore for Steve Irwin. His shows taught me what love is, since I never really saw it at home
Seconded for this. I actually bonded with my partner over our intense idolization of Steve Irwin as kids lol

Adam Yauch.
Was sad for weeks and took me years to even listen to Beastie Boys again without getting weepy. Here was a guy that was a standard issue kid, making obnoxious music for laughs and fun, that showed the world how to really grow up and mature. We were supposed to get a couple more decades of his creativity and unstoppable kindness before it got taken from us.
I will forever miss MCA

But very close. Robin Williams

Iain M. Banks too. ;-; Hydrogen Sonata was so good, and I remember seeing if there was another one in the works but turned out, no. Never will be...

So I started to listen to the Beatles in the 2010s without really knowing anything about them. After I was through most of their discography I read that Lennon was assassinated, and my heart sank.
Yer blues is my go-to song when I'm really down
