I remember in 1997 when Princess Diana died, there was this mass outpouring of hysteria at her funeral, when she was just a news story to people in esscence, they didnt know her and their "greif" was completely false and self indulgent and its one of the earliest things i remember that truly disgusted me because there were people who really did feel the loss of Princess Di - Harry and William and her family and freinds. It cheapened the real loss that the people close to her felt.
So in this case such a pointless display of false emotion is dishonest and in my opinion disrespectful, if they did something productive rather than self indulgent then it would be of actual use to society in general. I would make a point of telling my peers this if i were you but its your decision, if you choose to go along with it it doesnt make you a bad person at all.
