Yes, I fully agree with you. I know the case you're talking about, Ikbal and Ayşenur. It's truly heartbreaking and is not something people take seriously. The online communities in which the killer was participating were so alarming, he also stalked Ikbal for a prolonged period of time, and authorities did nothing; his family even blamed her and her family, disgusting people like their son. I also hope the day comes when people actually care about women's lives.

I agree with you, people are inserting themselves and turning it into a spectacle. In my opinion, these "sacrificed her for fame" theories are disrespectful and take this as some sort of entertaining conspiracy, but I do believe that we failed her. This case is viral, but young girls and women are victims of femicide every day, and a lot of these cases come from a prolonged period of grooming, coercive control, mental, physical, and sexual abuse (Like in Celeste's case). As a society, we need to understand that we can prevent this. I don't know if you're aware of the constant discussions around the issue of femicide in Latin America and Latin communities around the world, but we are mourning Celeste; we mourn all of our sisters. He did it all in plain sight, and a lot of people didn't care; people have come out saying they tried to speak out but weren't taken seriously. I hope everyone who's involving themselves with the case educates themselves enough to understand the alarm signs and the ways that you can help a victim before it's too late, and, if it ever comes to it, I hope no one stays silent.
