>he was such a good actor
>truly the best
>we will never see another like him ever

so on and so forth, what is the psychological reason that people have been conditioned to care so much about any actor or singer dying. These celebrities wouldn't give them a second look, and yet you'll have countless boomers or whoever who gasp and get sad over a stranger dying.

IANALOP but probably because you watch content starring them which makes them feel "real" to you because you go along experiencing the things they experience

It's simply called being respectful and courteous of the dead, not some grand fake and gay conspiracy or psyop

Just because you are a sad pathetic introvert, does mean everyone else is.

Actors are the best.

There's nothing better than seeing someone who sucks so bad at being himself/herself, who has to pretend to be someone else.
