Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : Different semi-throwaway account for the sake of not unleashing a comment war with other people in the discord server, though it's not unlikely they will find it. 

I'm genuinely asking if I'm the asshole here because apparently that's what seemed to be the consensus on the server. It's blown over now, I'm just asking.

So for some context, in a reddit-related discord server of mine (that is very loosely related to Stan Lee/Comics) I commented:

&gt;[...] referring Stan Lee's death [...] **I'm not sure why it's such a big deal but apparently it is.**

This ticked off some people in the server who called me rude, insensitive, dismissive and disrespectful, to which I elaborated that as a non-American who isn't really into comics I had no personal investment so I wasn't aware so many people did, to which people started calling me ignorant and responded increasingly aggressively.

This discussion went on like this for a few minutes, until I got temporarily banned from the channel I was talking in while no one else did.

Question is, was I the asshole here? Was *everyone* the asshole here? And why is Stan Lee's passing such a touchy subject?
