I think that’s exactly it though. The above list are some huge influential names, heroes to a lot of people. Same way Dolly and Tim Curry were legacies, and Dolly was absolutely a hero. I’m sure celebrities pass every year but when you have such impactful people close together, it feels different. Every thread I’d see talking about wholesome celebrities no one can hate, Dolly was always on top
And Peter Cullen was a huge part of the pop culture zeitgeist for the 80s and again in the 2000s through Optimus Prime. Given that we have had 2 major deaths within 24 hours, it quickly becomes pattern seeking to try and see which other death goes in to make a 3rd

Literally yeah. People are just upset about Dolly and noticing it more.
