What do you mean "tragic"?

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Well, that kid didn't ask to be there, so that's pretty tragic.

A tragedy is an event of great loss, usually of human life. Such an event is said to be tragic. Traditionally, the event would require "some element of moral failure, some flaw in character, or some extraordinary combination of elements" to be tragic.

To me this is tragic even in the Greek sense

Define "tragic"

I'd say "expected" might be a more fitting word.
